THE WORLD OF VALADAE AWAITS …
Welcome to the official website of fantasy author N. R. Eccles‑Smith. Here you will venture into Valadae—a fantastical realm of eleven conjoined kingdoms and the heart of the epic noblebright fantasy:
Dragon Calling is a five‑part fantasy adventure following Laeka’Draeon, the last of the dragons, as he journeys across Valadae in search of the others of his kind. Written for Upper Middle‑Grade readers (ages 10+), the series also offers plenty for adults who enjoy light epic fantasy filled with a colourful cast of creature-characters and a sweeping quest-based plot.
LATEST UPDATE:
The Second Editions of Kin Seeker (Book One) and The Beacon Thrones (Book Two) are now available for PRE-ORDER!
FOR BOOKS, PRINTS, PLUSHIES, AND EXTRA MERCH … CHECK OUT THE DRAGON CALLING STORE!
ALSO check out the fully illustrated children’s book, LONELY THE WOLF!
A Dragon Calling Wiki is also underway, featuring pages on the books, main characters, creature‑kinds, and key settings. New entries will be added regularly, so stay tuned. And feel free to send through any requests or suggestions.
Another wonderfully fun resource to explore is TV Tropes, where Dragon Calling has pages filled with hundreds of story and plot devices. There, you can dive into the many conventions and creative elements woven throughout the series—from individual character trope folders to heart‑warming moments, surprising bits of trivia, and even the darker entries that fall under the nightmare‑fuel category.
You also have the wonderful opportunity to explore other areas of creativity and literary ponderings in the form of an illustration gallery, comics, blogs and short stories, so don’t hold back from satiating your curiosity!
Go ahead and see what adventurous path your wandering takes you.
READ AND BE ENRICHED, FELLOW FANTASY ADVENTURERS AND DRAGON-SEEKERS!
