Hey, folks! Thanks to all of you who popped in to read Crazy Canyon, my latest Dragon Blood story. As I mentioned, I’m returning to this world with a new series. (I’m also starting on a new installment in the original series — watch for the preorder for Oaths to go up in the next week.)
The new series (it started as a trilogy, but I’m finishing the rough draft of Book 4 right now, so it seems to have expanded) is called Heritage of Power and takes places three years after the events of Soulblade and Shattered Past. We’ve got some old friends on the journey, but also a couple of new heroes:
- Telryn “Trip” Yert, a young lieutenant with a gift for piloting fliers. He longs to follow in General Zirkander’s footsteps and become a great hero. The problem? He has amazing hunches and strange things sometimes happen when he’s around, so he’s always worried someone will suspect he has magical powers — that can get you killed in Iskandia!
- Lieutenant Rysha Ravenwood, a noblewoman and a scholar who decided to defend her country by joining the king’s army. Not only that, but she’s determined to become only the second woman ever to be accepted into the elite troops, much like her role model, Captain Kaika. She just has to survive the training first…
This first two books in the series are available now (I’m uploading them later today!) for Patreon subscribers. You can get advanced copies of all my books over there, usually 1-2 weeks before they’re published, and that includes titles that will be exclusive at Amazon for the launch. (This will be the case with Heritage of Power.)
Here’s the official blurb and the cover art for the first book:
Born with a secret power he must hide…
Telryn “Trip” Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, so he’s struggled his whole life to hide his eccentricities. As a boy, he was forced to watch his mother’s execution. Her crime? Witchcraft.
Understandably, Trip wants nothing to do with the power that lurks within him, always threatening to reveal itself. Instead, he dedicates himself to serving as an officer in the king’s army, to battling pirates and imperial conquerors. He longs to become a soldier as respected and renowned as the legendary General Zirkander.
But his country is in need of more than a soldier.
After disappearing for over a thousand years, dragons have returned to the world. A few of them are willing to be allies to mankind, as they were millennia before, but far more want to destroy or enslave humans and claim the world for themselves.
There are few people left with the power to fight dragons. For reasons he doesn’t understand, Trip may be one of those people. But if he chooses to learn more about his heritage and the power he can wield, he risks losing everyone he loves and everything he longs to be.
Look for Dragon Storm on Amazon on December 26th. The second novel, Revelations, will follow shortly after on December 30th.
Or, if you’re not an Amazon fan (or you just want the books now), subscribe to my Patreon campaign, and you’ll get both of them today (December 13th). They won’t be available on Patreon indefinitely, as I need to take them down when I make them exclusive with Amazon, but you can always subscribe, and if you missed these books, you’ll get the next one that comes out.
While I’m rambling here, I’ll share the cover art for Book 2 (but not the blurb, since it would be a bit spoiler-y). Can’t have too many dragons, right?
I have read all the Dragon Blood books and The Heritage of Power books. Is there going to be anything else on this series due out shortly. I have totally enjoyed them all. I like to start reading and like to have all the books so I can go from start to finish without having to start reading something else. Them later have to go back and try to remember it or reread it all.
My favorite author was Edgar Rice Burroughs enjoy your books as much as I have his Tarzan series. When I start a book I hate to put it down and them pick it up later.

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the books, Charlie! I published the fifth and final (for now) Heritage of Power book, Gold Dragon, last month, and I have one more Dragon Blood book coming this month (Oaths) before I move on to other worlds for a while. Thanks for reading!
Edgar Rice Burroughs and Lindsay Buroker are among the few authors I would bring with me to a desert island. It struck me when I read your comment about Tarzan because several times while reading Lindsay Buroker I have thought about the Barsoom series by Burroughs for no specific reason. I think it must be because, like Burroughs, she has mastered that perfect balance of fantasy and adventure mixed with unique science fiction ideas. I would highly recommend her “Rust and Relics” series if you haven’t already read it and you also like Burroughs.
I was wondering if there is a book 6 in heritage of power I want more and if so please send link to purchase
Hi Lindsay,
Really enjoyed the Dragon blood series and have flown through the Heritage of Power series (really sad that I only have one book left, Gold Dragon).
Do you have any inkling if you will be writing anything further from this world, this year please?
Hey, Anthony! Thanks for reading! I probably won’t return to the Dragon Blood world in 2019, but I’ll likely be back with another spinoff series (or maybe a romance for Shulina Arya, lol) one day. 🙂
I read the first book and im absolutely hooked and im sad i dont have access to the rest of the series
I love Dragon blood and listening them on audible. Honestly I can’t stop!
I’m a little bit confused in which order I should keep listening with dragon blood and hertiage of power?
I got dragon blood until shattered past, so should I continue with hertiage of power then with the dragon blood book oath?
Awesome work with the characters. I love deathmaker! And the crew from zirka der ??? ok all the good ones! ?
Hi Lindsay – I’m just finishing up the dragon blood series and have just hard about the heritage of power series. A bit too late to get it on Patreon… Will these books become available on kobo eventually or is amazon the only way to get the books?
Hi, Lee!
They should be out on Kobo this fall. I just unchecked the boxes to take them out of Amazon’s exclusivity program at the end of the summer. Thanks for reading!
When will heritage of power be available for nook?
I just finished the dragon blood series, so sad, I could read it forever!
It’s having its last hurrah in Kindle Unlimited (Amazon exclusivity) now and will finally be available everywhere in early 2020. Thanks for your patience!
Anxiously waiting for Heritage of Power for Nook. You said above they would be available in early 2020. Any projected release date?
Yes! Just waiting for the last couple of books to come out of their Amazon contracts this month. I should have the whole series up everywhere by the end of March. 🙂
