????? “With an action-packed narrative, Maggie Kirton delivers a fantasy tale that will have you on the edge of your seat for most of the book. This is epic fantasy at its very best.” ~ Readers’ Favorite
????? “Kirton’s prose is so easy to read, so beautiful in its simplicity that I simply fell in love with her writing style starting with book one. Some reviewers say her series compares to other masters of this genre. But I assure you, this series does not compare to them and yet it has earned the right to stand among them. The Sagaman Series stands completely in a light of its own, separate from them. It’s a new take on a brutally tested genre.” ~ D.K.M., Stanford University, Retired English Lit Professor

In This Side of Eternity, the bond between mortals and dragons is both a blessing and a curse. When one dies, the other is doomed to follow–consumed by grief within two moons. It is an unbreakable law of their world, shaping the fate of all who dare to forge such ties.
Kessler, a Mortal-Fae warrior, carries this burden. Bound to Ilona, a mighty dragon, he watches helplessly as she gives her life to save him on the battlefield. But before her final breath, she leaves him with an impossible task–travel to Dreki Isle, find her unhatched son, and forge a new bond… or perish.
Ilona gave a portion of Kessler’s grief to Shai, a war-child, and with him by his side, Kessler races against time through dangerous lands, facing beasts, magic, and enemies who would see them fall. But as Dreki Isle draws near, so does a terrible truth — a dragon can bond with only one mortal. If Kessler claims this lifeline… Shai will surely die.
Freedom embraces choice, though not all choices are made freely or without regret.
The path to becoming the next Sagaman is stained with blood, burdened by sorrow, and shaped by impossible choices. In a world that has yearned for peace for generations, one man must face a painful truth–every bond demands a price, and some sacrifices can never be undone.
The fate of This Side of Eternity hangs in the balance.
