About Serpent’s End by Lorn Hillaker
Serpent’s End – Book 1 of the Ember Sea Trilogy – is available for free (ebook) on April 23-24, in anticipation of the release of Book 2, Ember’s Rise on April 24. Here’s what to expect in book 1:
On the Ember Sea, the source of all magic is gold.
Sailors desperately hunt for caches of buried treasure and pray to avoid the dragons, who haunt the skies in constant search for gold to fill their hoards.
But some crews, those particularly skilled or reckless, hunt the dragons.
Elliot Arkwright dreams of becoming a Wingbinder, one of these dragon-hunters. They are endowed with mystical tattoos that burn gold for power, power he hopes to use to free his mother from prison.
And time is running out. Dragons are breaking through the boundaries of the Ember Sea in greater numbers than ever before, threatening all nearby human settlements.
To stop the devastation and free his mother, Elliot will have to join the crew of the legendary ship, Serpent’s End, on a quest far more dangerous than anything he ever imagined.
They must hunt an elder dragon, a threat so great it endangers the entire world. They’re widely considered unkillable, immortal.
And the elder dragon may be hunting them too.

Author Bio:
Lorn Hillaker is a first-time author of a story about dragons and magic pirates.
Coincidentally, he is convinced he never read a book that couldn’t be improved with a sword fight.
At any given point, he can be found chasing his daughter with a stuffed penguin, playing a Magic draft, or embarking upon his seventeenth reread of the Wheel of Time.
He graduated with his PhD in history, which he now puts to good use making up elaborate pasts for fantasy worlds.
If you attempt to conjure him by saying his name five times in a darkened room, people will look at you strangely.
