In a medieval realm where dragons, magical beasts, ancient bloodlines, and ruthless kingdoms shape the balance of power, dragons are more than creatures—they are weapons, companions, symbols of status, and the deciding force behind wars. Among the realm’s most infamous dragon riders is Task Force 141: Captain John Price, Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley, Sergeant Johnny “Soap” MacTavish, and Sergeant Kyle “Gaz” Garrick. Rather than serving a single kingdom, the four work as dragonbound sellswords, accepting contracts from whoever can afford them. Their skills, dragons, and long history together have made them legendary—and incredibly wanted. During a journey across the wilderness, 141 stops to let their dragons rest, only to be ambushed by a large group of bounty hunters. Outnumbered and caught off guard, the four men and their dragons are captured and restrained, leaving them without their weapons or their greatest advantage. But when night falls, something begins stalking the bounty hunters. One by one, members of the camp disappear. No alarm is raised. No one sees who is responsible. Only fleeting shadows, distant movement, and the occasional glimpse of something moving through the darkness. The bounty hunters have unknowingly attracted the attention of a figure whose reputation has spread throughout the realm—a mysterious aerial hunter said to appear without warning and leave devastation behind. No kingdom claims them. No bounty hunter has successfully captured them. Few people can even describe what they look like. All anyone knows is that somewhere in the skies is a rider with a dragon—and when the two descend upon their prey, survival is rarely an option. Now, trapped within the very camp being hunted, Task Force 141 is about to discover that the terrifying legend they’ve heard whispered in taverns and war camps is real. And the hunter in the darkness may be far more dangerous than anything they’ve faced before.
