Third in the Swashbuckling Fantasy SeriesThe dragon-boy once known as Vetch has returned to his homeland of Alta to reclaim his birthright, only to discover that Alta is under the thrall of evil Priest-Kings. Gathering troops of dragon riders by his side, Vetch rasies an army in the sanctuary of the desert to rid his land of both war and magical domination once and for all.
...okay, it's ancient egypt fanfic, the treatment of dragons is patronizing even by the characters who see them as more than livestock, and the main character seems to have mysteriously acquired life experiences that were explicitly excluded from the described history, but it's still pretty fun
