Can a young man confined to a wheelchair become a hero and fight against sorcerers and elemental beings? Perhaps—if he happens to meet a strange elderly writer of fantasy books and discovers a hidden door leading to a world different from our own.
As “He Who Does Not Die,” a powerful sorcerer seeking immortality, threatens to annihilate the people of that world, the young man and his companions—the Lady of the Night, the beautiful warrior Amaranth, the priest Shadowstricken, and others—are drawn into a desperate struggle that can end only in victory or death.
Seven heartbeats are required for the Dragonborn to awaken. Each heartbeat drives the heroes of the story deeper into magic, struggle, and love.
