About the Book

Dragon Hunters, the sequel to Marc Turner’s When the Heavens Fall features gritty characters, deadly magic, and meddlesome gods

Once a year on Dragon Day the fabled Dragon Gate is raised to let a sea dragon pass from the Southern Wastes into the Sabian Sea. There, it will be hunted by the Storm Lords, a fellowship of powerful water-mages who rule an empire called the Storm Isles. Alas, this year someone forgot to tell the dragon which is the hunter and which the hunted.

Emira Imerle Polivar is coming to the end of her tenure as leader of the Storm Lords. She has no intention of standing down graciously. She instructs an order of priests called the Chameleons to infiltrate a citadel housing the mechanism that controls the Dragon Gate to prevent the gate from being lowered after it has been raised on Dragon Day. Imerle hopes the dozens of dragons thus unleashed on the Sabian Sea will eliminate her rivals while she launches an attack on the Storm Lord capital, Olaire, to secure her grip on power.

But Imerle is not the only one intent on destroying the Storm Lord dynasty. As the Storm Lords assemble in Olaire in answer to a mysterious summons, they become the targets of assassins working for an unknown enemy. When Imerle initiates her coup, that enemy makes use of the chaos created to show its hand.

Marc Turner

Marc Turner was born in Toronto, Canada, but grew up in England. He graduated from Lincoln College, Oxford University, in 1996 with a BA (Hons) in law, and subsequently joined a top-ten law firm in the City of London. Following the sale of his debut epic fantasy novel, he started writing full-time.

 

When the Heavens Fall, the first book in the Chronicles of the Exile series, was published to rave reviews in 2015, and it was followed by Dragon Hunters and the award-nominated Red Tide. In 2016, Marc was shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award by the British Fantasy Society. He has since contributed to various fantasy anthologies alongside some of the biggest names in the genre.

 

Why writing? Because it is the only work he knows where daydreaming isn’t frowned upon, and because he has learned from bitter experience that he cannot not write. He writes fast-paced novels with a liberal sprinkling of humour, peopled by characters that stay in the memory.

 

His latest novel, a psychological crime thriller, will be published in Fall, 2023.
 

Marc lives in Durham, England, with his wife and son.
