A powerless mage. Camouflaging Dragons. A Steampunk Army. Traitors at every turn. See why Amazon reviewers are comparing this intelligent dark fantasy to Elaine Cunningham, Andre Norton, Ursula LeGuin, Fydor Dostoevsky, and J.R.R. Tolkien!

When Shadow, a powerless mage, chose exile to preserve family honor, he didn’t expect a mysterious call to defeat telepathic, camouflaging dragons or to uncover the secret behind magic's evolution. Nor did he expect that after stumbling through treachery, illusions, and an unexpected romance, his only solution might risk the annihilation of his people.

The depth of these characters is amazing! I could not put this book down. I've read other stories by Drew Briney and they always suck me in until the very end! … I can't wait to see what comes next. Definitely recommend!

If you love books that leave you continually guessing about what is happening next, you will want to read Unproven. As for the finishing scene . . . you could never guess.



Bethany Sturgeon



This excellent book is sort of a collision between Ursula Le Guin and Fydor Dostoevsky. … The book ... never drags.
