About the Book

Book 1 in the new “Dragon’s Dagger” series!

His mind replays the screams of his companions as, one by one, they succumb to the black beast. Blood-soaked tabards, armor dripping with death, the sound of a skull being crushed between the creature’s jaws, brain matter oozing from beneath the crumpled helmet, and the sight of grown men tossed about like rag dolls. 

For more than three hundred years, dragons had existed only in lore and legend or in songs spun by bards. To the best of his knowledge, no one had ever seen one, let alone fought one. Then there was the gem. Not an unusual gem but one that the beast favored and protected above all others in its stash. 

Evil has again been released upon the land, and only a small band of adventurers, blessed by their gods, stands in its way. Time is of the essence as they try to understand the significance of the gem, the dragon that possessed it, and the evil that hopes to possess the power of both.

Praise

“Fast-paced and engaging fantasy tale…action is king in this epic, and Zedan has created a crusade that zips right along…[Zedan] skillfully leaves the reader hanging.”

— Kirkus Reviews

“This adventure rolls with spontaneity and action. Zedan skillfully folds the best parts of the D&D world into his story.”

— BlueInk Review

“Zedan straight away captures the reader’s imagination in this adventure-packed journey of Aramas and his quest to destroy the evil at Raven’s Nest Castle, confronting goblins, minions, zombies, and more along the way. I didn’t want to put it down till I turned the last page.”

—Captain Robert Cameron,
author, Tuckey the Nantucket Whale children’s book series

About the Author

Daniel Zedan has had a love of gaming and model-making his entire life. But it wasn’t until 2005, at the behest of two of his sons, that he participated in his first Dungeons & Dragons adventure. He has been playing ever since. Zedan’s love for “D&D” is what inspired him to write his first novel.

A 1973 graduate of the US Merchant Marine Academy, Zedan retired from the US Coast Guard Reserve in 2001 as a captain. He is a Desert Shield Desert Storm and Operation Uphold Democracy veteran. After military service, Zedan founded a brokerage, marketing, and consulting firm. He and his wife, Judith, reside in the Chicago area.

Daniel J. Zedan (second from left) with his D&D part members (left to right): Ryan Mulvaney, Brian Dugan, and Daniel J. Zedan III. The Search for the Dragon’s Dagger was inspired by these players’ characters, with more party members slated to appear in future volumes.
