The originality of the setting goes a long way towards distracting you from the fact that this is essentially just another coming-of-age / revenge / youth-discovers-great-power story that would not stand out at all of it were set in a medieval European analog culture like most sword and sorcery books. The Rage of Dragons launches a stunning and powerful debut epic-fantasy series. He'll become the greatest swordsman to ever live, a man willing to die 100,000 times for the chance to kill the three who betrayed him. Fixated on revenge, Tau dedicates himself to an unthinkable path. Those closest to him are brutally murdered, and his grief swiftly turns to anger. He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Young, giftless Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. One in every 100 men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine. One in every 2,000 women has the power to call down dragons. Their society has been built around war and only war. The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable fight for almost 200 years. Game of Thrones meets Gladiator in this debut epic fantasy about a world caught in an eternal war and the young man who will become his people's only hope for survival.
