Raiders Never Die - by Jackson Ford (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Get ready for the conclusion to the story of the Rakada: an edge-of-your-seat, action-packed epic fantasy series, where a wild band of raiders harness the power of gigantic, fire-breathing lizards to defend their homeland.

A huge army has invaded the Tapestry, aiming to enslave its people and take the land for their own. Great. Sayana and the rest of her band known as the Rakada really can't catch a break...

Despite having giant fire-breathing lizards to ride into battle, the raiders can't fight the invaders off this time--and that's before one of their own is taken prisoner. As if things couldn't get any worse, Sayana also has to contend with not one but two warring gods stuck in her head, both of whom want her to give in and be their avatar so they can rule.

There's only one way for the Rakada and their fellow disorganised raider clans to actually face down their enemy and salvage this hot mess: more fire-breathing lizards. MORE LIZARDS.
