Dawn of the Overlords

The Val-Harra Saga Book 1

by Kevin Potter

Genre: Epic Fantasy

Dragons are real.

A draconic apocalypse is poised to strike at Humanity.

Just one wyrm stands in the way.

As a young dragon living by the ideals of virtue and honor, Dauria wanted nothing more than to live in peace and harmony with Humanity. When that failed, she helped establish a pact that forced Dragonkind into the shadows.

When she awakens after millennia of slumber, she finds the Earth a very different place than she remembers. To make matters worse, upon exiting her lair she finds herself stripped of all her draconic power and left to freeze, in human form, on the icy heights of her mountain home.

Someone doesn’t want her to rejoin the rest of her kind. Someone sabotaged her from the moment she awakened. Someone wants nothing more than to begin a full-scale war between humans and dragons with the fate of the Earth in the balance.

Somehow, Dauria has to find a way to overcome every obstacle placed in front of her and make her way to the Dragon Council. Who will prevent the coming war if not her?

But how can she do that with no power and not even the strength of her dragon form to aid her?

Power of the Overlords

The Val-Harra Saga Book 2

Dragons.

They exist, and have risen from their slumber to take the Earth back from Humankind.

In the aftermath of the Great Dragon War, a horrifying new power could destroy everything...

The subjugation of man should have brought an end to hostilities. It should have brought an age of peace to the Earth.

It didn’t. The hostile suspicion between dragons is worse than ever.

Since her failure to prevent the war, Dauria has all-but-lost her faith in the compassion of Dragonkind. But still she hopes. She prays that one day sanity will return to her people.

After centuries in Antarctica, Dauria and her budding family sacrifice the peace and stability of isolation to re-enter the deadly world of the New Dragon War to right a wrong she is partially responsible for.

The group travels to her ancestral home in Japan in the hope of stopping her brother's dark machinations. But when the family is separated, Dauria risks more than just her sanity in her quest to reunite her family and stop her brother's evil plans.

Will she find a way to thwart her brother and retrieve her family, or was the quest a lost cause from the start?

If you've been waiting for a series that puts dragons front and center, then look no farther! Kevin Potter's Val-Harra Saga is exactly what you've been looking for.

Age of the Overlords

The Val-Harra Saga Book 3

In a future Earth where dragons reign supreme and have only each other to fear, is there any chance left for peace?

A conflicted dragon. A Prophecy. And an ancient wyrm with a dark secret...

Gravv is not the dragon he once was. No longer an innocent. No longer an idealist. Now he lives for little more than revenge. But in the aftermath of the disastrous showdown in Japan, he and his sire must meet with potential allies in the west.

Their arrival is far less than peaceful, however, and those allies have plans and secrets of their own. All is not well in this conclave of metallic dragons, and nothing is what it seems.

Will Gravv find a way to rise above his own prejudices and overcome the machinations of new enemies, or will The Age of Extinction make a victim of him as well?

Revenge of the Overlords

The Val-Harra Saga Book 4

Thousands of years in the future, dragons rule the Earth.

Though the war is far from over, the battle has been won. But at what cost?

Maalyys is mourning for the losses in the last battle, but there is so much yet to do. Without the support of the overlords, the Great Council to save and unite all Dragonkind in peace will remain an unattainable dream...

Bal struggles to correct the tyranny his island home has lived in for centuries, but a prophetic nightmare shows him that he must take an active role in his sire's plans for the future.

Someone is working behind the scenes to sabotage the council, and Bal fears a wyrm has unlocked an unheard of power that will destroy them all.

When an unlooked-for miracle returns a fallen hero to their lives, everything changes. Hope, so long absent from the Earth, tugs at the hearts of both dragons.

But will it be enough? Will anything be enough to overcome the darkness that dominates all Dragonkind since the discovery of Essence Theft?

Though they sometimes work at cross purposes, Bal and Maalyys must work together toward their common goal lest one whom they both love will suffer all the more for it.

Revenge of the Overlords is the long-awaited culmination of the Metal and Stone sequence, the first arc of the Blood of the Dragons series that brings full circle the story of what happens when dragons rule the Earth. Longer, deeper, and more epic than any of its predecessors, this book will keep you up turning pages long past your bedtime.

Hello, reader! (sorry to defy conventions, but I can't stand writing about myself in the third person. It's just weird.)

I spend a good portion of my time masquerading as dragons larger than some cities, but when I'm not doing that I like to spend my time picking people's brains.

No, no, I don't mean learning from their experiences, I like the taste of brain matter!

Okay, okay, I'll try to be serious for a minute (I can't promise for more than one minute though).

I've been a storyteller for almost as long as I can remember. It started when I was nine. In school, we had an assignment to write a one-page short story. That night, I wrote a nine-page "masterpiece" about a magical pair of shoes and their journeys throughout the western United States before finding an owner who would properly care for and appreciate them.

From there, my storytelling grew into DMing D&D games (and other roleplaying games).

Naturally, the games eventually led me to start writing stories.

I’m not a full-time author (yet), though I am hopeful. Professionally, I’ve done everything from technical support to restaurant management to building custom gaming PCs.

I live in Cottonwood Height, UT, with my wife and two beautiful daughters who I’m certain are much smarter than me.

Writing style

Like most, if not all writers, I honestly don’t think I can define my own style.

I’ve seen my writing compared with anyone from Stephen R Donaldson to Brandon Sanderson to Richard A. Knaak to Orson Scott Card and almost everywhere in between, but I don’t see it.

I consider myself very widely read, particularly in the fantasy genre, and while it’s possible I’m just blind to it, I don’t think my writing style is comparable to anyone I’ve read.

I realize how that sounds. It’s bold. It’s arrogant. Hell, it might be downright conceited. But from my perspective it is 100% true.

I’ve talked about this elsewhere, so I won’t dwell on it too much, but from my own analysis I think my writing has this curious duality where the descriptive details are rather sparse while the internal tangents are deep and complex.

Usually what I see in fantasy novels is exactly the opposite. We get this huge focus on describing characters and settings but there’s not a lot about what’s going on inside the characters’ heads.

See, I feel like there’s this huge landscape of internal thoughts and motivations that is barely scratched at in most novels, while if anything the physical details are often so powerfully highlighted that I find myself getting annoyed.

That aside, I think the other fundamental thing about my writing is I always try to stay focused on the characters while also keeping things moving.

Not necessarily in an action sort of way though.

Anyone who’s read my books knows that I tend to write a lot of character interaction and decision-making, but not that much combat. Which is not to say that I don’t write battles. I do. I love writing battles. Especially battles between dragons. They can be SO much fun to write. It’s so easy to get creative and do things that humans could never do in a fight.

But the violence is never the focus of my books.

Even in my epic, Shadow of the Overlord, which has a large number of battles, those are not the main highlight of the story. I always try to bring everything back to the characters and how they are affected and how this person needs to be the one doing this thing otherwise this could never have worked out in this way.

You see, for me, the character interactions, the decision-making, and the effects the choices and actions have on the characters are far more interesting than the play-by-play of the violent conflict in a story.
