"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

"Its emotional storytelling and vibrant world-building blend makes it a notable read, likely to spark discussions and anticipation for future installments. For those drawn to tales of epic battles and deep camaraderie, Maggie Kirton's work promises a rewarding experience." ~ Literary Titan

"Kirton's shrewdness and plotting efficiency shine through with a sharp twist toward the end, changing the narrative direction and laying intriguing threads for the next stories while ensuring this book has a contained conclusion.~ The Book Review Directory

"You will feel its heart and soul as you read along. I guarantee it." ~ Readers' Favorite

In This Side of Eternity, the bond between mortals and dragons is sacred and perilous. When one dies, the other is consumed by grief and destined to die within two moons—a fate that has shaped countless lives and destinies across the ages.

Kessler, a Mortal-Fae, shares this bond with Ilona, a powerful dragon.
When Ilona sacrifices herself on the battlefield to save him, she leaves him with an impossible task— to journey to Dreki Isle and form a new bond with her unhatched son so that he will live. But this new bond comes at a devastating price.

Kessler and Shai, a war-child burdened with the grief Ilona passed on, must race against time, for the two moons are slipping away. Their journey takes them through treacherous lands and tests their resolve against creatures and dangers beyond imagining.

As they push forward, Kessler learns a cruel truth... a dragon can bond with only one Mortal.
If he claims this lifeline, Shai will die from the grief Ilona left behind.

Freedom embraces choice, though not all choices are made freely or without regret.
Kessler must confront his anger, his grief, and the weight of his destiny.

Can he rise to the challenge and fulfill his role as the next Sagaman?
Or will the choices he makes unravel the fragile hope for peace in This Side of Eternity?
