Haunted by the ghosts of war, Erik Lokton has spent years traveling alone in the Southlands, hunting for answers to the nature of his identity as a Sahale, a dragon kin. Visited by visions of a fiery wrath that is one day to be brought upon the world, Erik also seeks to unravel the mystery of the Four Horsemen, enforcers of a mysterious Cosmic Counsel which is, by all accounts, unstoppable. When a series of murders in the Middle Kingdom call him home to help avert hostilities between dragon kind and the races of men, Erik is reunited with a beautiful woman from his past, the elven ranger Lady Arkyn. Together they must race to uncover the identity of the murderer. Erik will be faced with questions about his heritage and his past, and will find some unexpected answers.
Sam is a very lucky guy. He juggles work in such a way that he makes sure to spend enough time with his loving wife and five sons. He is blessed to be writing full time now. In his spare time he is an avid powerlifter, and competes from time to time.
He spent nearly five years serving as a U.S. Diplomat and absolutely loved the experience, but decided to move back home. Outside of the U.S. he has lived in Latvia, Hungary, and Armenia. He speaks Russian, Hungarian, and Armenian. (He used to speak some Latvian too, but he has no one to practice with anymore…)
He has a large, happy dog. He plays the Elder Scrolls series. His favorite superhero is Wolverine, but Batman is a close second.
If the kids go to bed at a reasonable hour, he will cuddle up with his wife to watch Scrubs reruns, the Big Bang Theory, Castle, and Burn Notice.

This may be the ninth book in a series, but it's the first I've read. The author did an adequate job of helping a noob like me get caught up in the overall story, and yet I was still left unsatisfied. It's not because the book ends on a cliffhanger or that it lacks action; it's that the characterization was sufficient in some ways and not so in others, and the big action scenes are just tacked on rather than with meaningful buildup. I also couldn't help but notice some sloppy writing such as a few run-on sentences and repetitive wording. I like how our hero, Erik Lokton, is a powerful man yet tries to remain humble to keep his dark side in check. In a post-GOT world, I imagine such a hero wouldn't be very sexy to many readers, but it's appreciated here. The villains, on the other hand, are straight-up Saturday morning cartoons, especially like those from the 80s. They brag about how powerful they are and how the hero will never win--there's no imagination in their boasts and insults.
Another great story by Sam Ferguson. We get reacquainted with Eric as he travels on a quest to understand who he is and what he is to do with his powers. Can he save his world, or will he be to late? The book moves at a fast pace with plenty of twists and turns. Sword and sorcery at it's best.
A great adventure story,by a pretty great author! FERGUSON continues the stories of his created world TERRAMYR,each one better than the last,I honestly can't recommend these novels enough!
