Dragons Are Right Beside Us: New Fantasy Series “Dragonborn” by Struan Murray Out in Turkish

If you think dragons are left only on the dusty pages of fairy tales, award-winning fantasy author Struan Murray invites you to break this mindset. His new series Dragonborn, which entered the New York Times bestseller list, has hit the shelves with its first book, “Free Spirits” (Özgür Ruhlar), under the Xlibris imprint.

Oxford academic and author Struan Murray, whom we previously came to know through Gods of the Lost World, this time drags us into a secret dragon universe existing right on the boundary of the human world. At the center of the story is Alex, who is trapped among his mother’s strict rules after losing his father and trying to make sense of the strange rage inside him. While feeling different from everyone else, Alex faces a shocking truth: this foreign feeling inside him is not just a metaphor; he is literally a dragon.

This journey, where Alex learns to distinguish friend from foe while seeking his own identity and chosen family, does not merely offer an action-packed adventure; it tells a serene coming-of-age story about accepting the fire within oneself.

Translated into Turkish by Hilal Dikmen, Dragonborn: Free Spirits opens the door to a fast-paced series for fantasy literature enthusiasts. Moreover, there is no need to grow impatient while waiting for the continuation of the series; while the excitement of the first book is still fresh, the second book of the series will meet readers just one month later.
