When Asagoroth is finally awakened, he essentially blackmails Trystan into joining him. He lives in a world full of magic and doesn’t worry that blood magic and an ancient carving of an evil dragon might be a bad idea? That’s extremely naïve. And didn’t for a second think about the consequences. Instead of being scared or at least a little cautious, he’s fascinated and makes the cut worse to get more blood on the carving. He realizes that the blood from his cut hand does strange things with the carving.

Trystan falls into an old well and discovers a gorgeous carving of a dragon at the bottom.

The beginning felt a little unrealistic to me. Unfortunately, “On Wings of Thunder” mostly fell flat. The general plot idea sounds good and I love dragons and demons and angels (as long as they aren’t sent by God or something), so it definitely had the potential to be great. Okay, so I had several issues with this book. But even as the angels prepare for war, the great dragon surprises them with an ultimatum: hand over the angel who awakened him or face annihilation. It only needs the blood of an angel to liberate him from his cage….Īsagoroth, enemy of angels, conqueror of realms, is free. The five elders only managed to imprison the dragon, and Asagoroth had cast his own spell-one of releasement. The powerful angels combined their life forces to cast a spell, sacrificing their lives.īut history is full of falsehoods. Stories tell that millennia ago, the great dragon Asagoroth and his demon army nearly conquered the three realms but was killed by the five elders. But Trystan learns the carving doesn’t depict an ordinary dragon. In a hidden well, Trystan discovers a carving of a dragon, who were once the commanders of demons and now believed extinct.

Trystan is an unchosen angel-shunned by society, bullied, and without a future.
