The Dragon Hammer

In the first installment of Wulf's Saga, 16-year-old Wulf von Dunstig, the unlikely third son of a duke in an alternate Viking-like America, grapples with an impending invasion by a colonial Roman empire that enslaves through vampiric blood. Initially dismissed from succession, Wulf unexpectedly bonds with a powerful land-dragon, thrusting him into a pivotal role in a dark conflict. With the fate of his world hanging in the balance, he must seek out an ancient weapon known as the Dragon Hammer to combat the encroaching evil and protect the dragons that hold his land together.
