Based on events leading up to World War 1 as a Lord tries to use his influence and means to prevent conflict.
There are some great action scenes and fights but it doesn't have the humour of the other films. Quite odd at times, serious the next. It's a bit of a mixed bag. Plenty to enjoy but also a few surprises in one way or another.

Having - inadvertently - previously saved the life of Prince Khoosie of the state of Jhamjarh, this novel starts with Bandy travelling to that continent to help them set up their own air force: an air force that is viewed with some misgivings by the (British) powers-that-be, who are convinced that it will be used against them and who refuse to heed any warnings about an uprising that is planned by another Indian state, even going so far as to take their side against Jhamjarh.
As things turn out, of course, the British government have it all backwards …
As I've said before, I found the quality of these novels to have declined in direct proportion to their settings: for my money, the earlier books (set during and just after WW1) are far superior to these later instalments. Having said that, I did find this one to be more enjoyable than its immediate predecessor, with a few laugh-out-loud moments and a further insight into just how Bandy's First World War experiences have affected him

Called by Dragons Song ( Return of the Dragonborn book 3)
By N.M. Howell
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dragonborn and sorcerers unite in the face of war. Arvall has finally accepted the dragonborn and their dragons, and the University is finally set to re-open in a time of relative peace. But in not so distant lands, the enemy prepares to strike. For where one hopes for peace, two more hope for revenge. Revenge on the dragonborn and their dragons, and the magic born to their blood. So long as the enemy lives, the world cannot find peace. Uniting with the citizens of Arvall, Andie and the dragonborn face their most dangerous enemies of all. And their existence in the modern world hangs on the outcome of the war.
The best was saved till last! I’ve loved this series well what’s not to love it has Dragons!! The journey these characters have been on has been a rollercoaster of joy, devastation and excitement. This book was no different the loss of characters was felt by all as well as the joy of reuniting with friends that we thought were lost for good. Definitely recommend if you love dragons and magic.
