The Ring of Five Dragons by Eric Van Lustbader

Description: The Kundalan people have suffered for a century under the viciously oppressive, technologically-superior V'ornn invaders, and they can't understand why their goddess Miina hasn't saved them. In the resulting crisis of faith, Kundalan religion falls under the control of evil forces from within who pretend to have no magic of their own and forbid the teaching of traditional sorcery. The V'ornn's mysterious leaders, the Gyrgon, search for the lost Ring of Five Dragons, the key to the door of the fabled Kundalan Storehouse, and perhaps to Kundalan sorcery as well.

Misused, the ring could trigger annihilation for V'ornn and Kundalan alike. Now, from among the oppressed, the hero of prophecy must arise, the Dar Sala-at, who alone can wield the sorcerous power to save the world.
