About this listen

A YA Dragon Fantasy Adventure With A Reluctant Hero Who Must Rise To Save His Fractured Kingdom

A kingdom divided. A reluctant hero. A choice that could seal its fate.

Neill never wanted to lead. Once a simple foot soldier for his father, he now faces an impossible mission: unite the fractured Middle Kingdom against the rising threat of the rogue sorcerer Ansall and his dragon, Zaxx. Doubt weighs heavy on Neill’s heart as he questions his ability to lead an army—especially with the lives of so many depending on his choices.

Duty calls Neill to lead the Dragon Riders alongside Char and their dragon, Paxala, but the path to becoming king is fraught with new enemies and dangerous temptations. When the mysterious Dark Prince arrives with a perilous offer, Neill’s resolve is tested like never before.

As Ansall’s power grows through dark magic, Neill must make a harrowing decision: follow his own desires or sacrifice everything for the kingdom. The fate of the realm rests in his hands—will he rise to the challenge, or will darkness consume them all?

Expanded and republished in November 2024, Dragon Mage returns with even more epic battles, magic, and heart-pounding adventure.

Listening to this action-packed story grabbed and held my attention. I loved the awesome characters, detailed description, and intriguing story line. The Abbot and Zaxx have been plotting their revenge, and gained an army. How’ll Neill, Char, Paxala and the rest of them all, survive against them? I wouldn’t count Neill, Char and Paxala out though. They can come up with some pretty good and creative ideas, that may just work! This action-packed audio is filled with danger, dragons, Abbot, Zaxx, Monastery, soldiers, flying, Prince, traitors, determination, missions, chaos, swords, loyalty, family, friends, shadow warriors, training, battle, and war.

This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I love these dragon books! I love most dragon books but these I feel I get to know the dragons and the riders personally. The action, excitement, intrigue, thrills, danger, and so much more all rolled up in these books. This is a great series. What is better than a young sorcerer and a dragon?
The narrator is awesome and performs the voices well and makes the emotions flow with her words. Wonderful job!!!

Exciting and Thrilling!!!

It felt like poor Neill kept getting thrown into situations he didn't want to be in and then no one was noticing how he felt, yet he always came through when he was needed just like in the first 2 books.

This book is a great ending to the story, and these books definitely need to be listened to in order.

There's lots of action and old enemies keep coming back. The story is creative and I enjoyed the twists that it took. With dragons a wizards it's not surprising that there's not a dull moment.

The character voices were great and the delivery was well paced and conveyed the emotions of the characters and scenes.

“Dragon Mage” is the last book in The First Dragon Rider trilogy. Neill (the first dragon rider) has been one of my favorite characters and I enjoyed him in this book. The tension increases as the final battle looms closer. The Monastery changes and we begin to see the beginnings of the Dragon Academy that is featured more in Ava’s Return of the Darkening trilogy.
Ava Richardson writes amazing stories. Not since Anne McCaffrey, have I found such an interesting and exciting author. She writes intelligent, fascinating plots, characters and excitement in the stories. I’m really looking forward to her next book.

Another great addition to the saga and it gets even more intense where it culminates in the battle between the good and evil. I am happy the good wins in the end, but at what cost. Listening to Neill battling with all the insecurities broke my heart, those around him never saw it and sometimes made it worse. It ended well for him though, realizing that Char is the one meant for him. Loved the dragons, their interaction with the riders and how they are integral to the whole story.
I recommend this book, the series to listeners of all ages.

I enjoy listening to Ms. Williams' voice and her story-telling style making for an enjoyable listening experience.
