SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The second novel in the Iron Dragon Series by author Paul Genesse has been released by Five Star Books. The first novel, “The Golden Cord,” became the best selling fantasy book that Five Star has ever had; and book two, “The Dragon Hunters” (ISBN: 978-1-59414-659-6), has received much advance praise from reviewers. In “The Dragon Hunters,” the last of an order of dragon hunters must track down the dragon king’s daughter and stop her from getting the Crystal Eye, an ancient artifact that will cause the destruction of their world.

Iron Dragon SeriesPublishers Weekly writes: “Genesse stresses the necessity of trust between races and cultures and the perils of bias and dissension, and the keeps the plot moving quickly….”

“Taut suspense and fantastic imagery make The Dragon Hunters a tale no fantasy fan will want to miss,” said Michael A. Stackpole, New York Times best selling author of the Star Wars novel, I, Jedi.

“In the midst of a fantasy, Genesse weaves in realistic themes of family and honor, prejudice and hate, love and redemption,” said Elizabeth Vaughan, USA Today best selling author of The Warlands Trilogy and Dagger-Star.

About book one, The Golden Cord, “This is a story that’s worth your time. It’s almost like going back to that first fantasy novel that totally captivated you and you read it over and over again.
