Silver Mage by C M Debell

When Aarin’s father dies, elemental fire answers human command for the first time in three thousand years. But it is a promise of power that comes with a price. To fulfil his father’s dying wish and restore the lost magic of his world, Aarin must find the masters of that fire – the ancient dragons – who vanished from the world millennia ago, taking their magic with them.
But the world has changed. Mankind has forgotten the old magic and their partnership with the dragons. And those who do remember will stop at nothing to prevent their return.
Beset on all sides, Aarin must sort friend from foe and unravel the mysteries of a past long forgotten. To survive, he must first discover the secret of why the dragons left – and what they risked everything to destroy.
A classic epic fantasy adventure, Silver Mage is the standalone first novel in the Long Dream sequence.
