The Rosinanti Dragons are no more. Since their extinction nearly one thousand years ago these primal powerhouses have fallen into the obscurity of history’s forgotten lore. In that time, humans have come to dominate the world of Terra, peacefully ignorant to one horrifying truth: ancient evil stirs around them, waiting to reclaim its lost world.
For Valentean Burai, animus warrior of the kingdom of Kackritta, the details surrounding humanity’s victory over the Rosinanti are more than just a history lesson. The long-buried mysteries of this archaic conflict may hold the answers that he has so desperately sought regarding his own past.
As the awful truth of the Rosinanti’s supposed demise comes to light, Valentean must stand together with Seraphina, a magically gifted princess, to embark upon a mission to maintain order and light throughout Terra. Only together can these two lifelong friends face down the resurgence of the Rosinanti legacy, and combat the greatest threat their world has ever known.

Read this book!! Brilliant!!

I absolutely love this book! I read the newly re-edited version, and this is truly a quality piece of writing. The world Kevin created is so full and intoxicating. I feel like I’m there on Terra with the characters, and the feeling of being in their world stays with me even when I’m forced to put the book down and re-enter reality. I haven’t read a book with such a totally encompassing, engrossing world since Harry Potter. Beyond that, Kevin’s writing is superb. The characters are so real and layered, and their dialogue feels natural. I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but this book will pull you in right from the start, not let you go, and leave you dying to read the next in the series. Kevin’s talent and passion for writing are evident on every page. Read. This. Book. I can’t wait to read the others in the series!

The Rise of the Dragon Lord has been my favorite book in the series

So far, The Rise of the Dragon Lord has been my favorite book in the series. Kessler’s evocative writing in this book will pull the full spectrum of emotions from you—from abject terror to empathy and unceasing hope, and above all, love. All along, the series has been leading us to the climactic battle for Terra and continues to do so in a thrilling and captivating way. As with Wrath of the Faithful, the best part of this story is the characters themselves and the personal journey each must take as they tackle heavy choices and consequences. I eagerly await the next installment in this series.

Fantastic dark fantasy
I’ve been in reading slump for a few months when I spied a post from Kevin about a different series. He was very kind telling me about Winters of Alnora.
I had previously read 3 of the Rosinanti series( books 1, 1.5 and 2). So I had a feel for the writing style of the author.
As a dark fantasy, expect dark themes throughout.
Kevin made it so easy to empathize with Alnora right from the opening lines. He can transport you to this world, I totally immersed myself in the story, when you actually feel cold just from the words you read, that is a job well done by the author.
This is a short story, it made passing time through a storm fly by.
I highly recommend Kevin’s books to any and all fantasy lovers. He puts a fresh spin on his books in a difficult genre to carve a path in.
I don’t know if there will be any more books in this series, but I would very much welcome more.
Fantastic job Kevin J. Kessler.
Now, I have another Rosinanti book to get into. Grab these books, I am so very happy to have found them.

Beaten and burned to the point of near death, he recovers among his closest friends and allies, while harboring a dark secret.

Word of Valentean’s newfound ferocity and unnatural ability to transform into a vicious dragon has spread to all corners of Terra, earning him the moniker of “Dragon-Lord.”

.Meanwhile, a world away, Princess Seraphina Kackritta, The Ice Queen, continues to fight against the forces of chaos that have claimed her homeland. Far from the man she loves, Seraphina must focus her magical abilities and lead an armed resistance to reclaim her kingdom from the shadowy evil that has enveloped her people.

As the flames of chaos spread out to envelop all of Terra, the Dragon-Lord and Ice Queen must find their way back to one another, and stand together with their allies to beat back the chaotic inferno that threatens to swallow everything they’ve ever known.

Are you a Game of Thrones fan…this book is for you!!!

What a fantastic book!! The detail of the world of Terra rivals that of any other world in literature and film. Kevin Kessler does a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the world and into the story. I cannot wait to read more of the stories.

Valentean Burai and Seraphina Kackritta barely escaped the grip of chaos. Only by working together were these two lifelong soul mates able to combat the greatest threat the world of Terra has ever known.

But when they find themselves separated, with the entire world turned against them, both princess and animus warrior must battle not only the forces of chaos and darkness that seek to end their world but their own crippling doubts and fears.

Valentean must also face the horrifying truth of himself. He is one of the last surviving members of the Rosinanti race and holds within him world-destroying power, and the unwanted uncontrollable ability to transform into a fearsome dragon.

The struggle of man vs. beast is not limited to the battlefield. Valentean will wage that war internally, within the confines of his own conflicted heart.

But, in the end, who is stronger? The man, or the dragon?

Things are just getting started for the Faithful……As it shall burn

*Sigh* Wrath…..One Book. One Thousand Feelings. This is so true for Wrath which is the second installment to
Rosinanti (Which I so cannot pronounce if I had to say this out loud lol) This novel is quite a bit longer than Ros and is packed with so many emotions. I truly feel like I can read this a billion times and still not be tired of the world Kevin created. Wrath is undeniably so much different than Rosinanti. It just is so much more. Words truly cannot explain how amazing Wrath is. I tend to get stuck in Terra sometimes which I have no regrets about. I don’t want to leave that world.

This novel continues on right where Ros leaves off…so without a doubt read in order. Sera truly shines in this one as does Maura to show that these women are not one to mess with at all. They both can hold there own in any type of battle or element. My Kay is truly a beautiful man to hate in this book. Kay and Val truly do have some epic battle scenes in this going blow to blow. If you couldn’t tell, I’m partial to Kay a tad more than Val. Aleksandra my wicked role model. All I can say is she is the center of one of my favorite scenes that I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. We do have some new characters in this novel as well which are perfect and fit in quite well with this main group. Let me just say also I’m waiting for Zouka to die a horrible death and patience is not a virtue with me!

I literally can ramble on and on about Wrath but I probably shouldn’t. I will say you can without a doubt, see how Kevin J Kessler has grown as a writer creating this incredible world you just cannot get enough of. His battle scenes are much more epic, and just his overall style has suppressed Rosinanti by far. Ros is a fantastic debut novel which should be read before Wrath but you for sure want to get to this book next. Since this is a series, I sadly do have to wait to see what is next for these characters and to see what’s in store for this world.

I highly recommend this book and the whole series if you love some fantastic characters, an amazing world, epic battle scenes, and of course dragons and maybe a pinch of magic.
