When the Black Dragon seized the Deep of Ylferdun, young Gareth braved the far Winterlands to find John Aversin, Dragonsbane - the only living man ever to slay a dragon. In return for the promise of the King to send help to the Winterlands, Aversin agreed to attempt the nearly impossible feat again.
With them, to guard them on the haunted trip south, went Jenny Waynest, a half-taught sorceress and mother of Aversin's sons.
But at the decadent Court, nothing was as expected. Rebellion threatened the land. Zyerne, a sorceress of seemingly unlimited power, held the King under an evil spell, and he refused to see them. Meantime, the dragon fed well on the knights who had challenged him.
In the end, Aversin, Jenny, and Gareth had to steal away at night to challenge Morkeleb, largest and wisest of dragons.
But that was only the beginning of the perils they must face.

I found I could not put the book down. The story had an arc that kept you curious about the next step.
Thoughts I was thinking about while hearing the book:
I found descriptions of the seeking of magic to be similar to that of other human professions where seeking more knowledge is necessary to advancement. The temperament of the teacher frequently tempers the attitude of the student.
Wonderful visuals and feelings

Awesome Book
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The overall story is good but pacing is very slow because the scenes that move the plot forward are short and far between and the time spent in the main character's head, where she replay's the same events, make up the majority of the book.
I can't recommend it but I did enjoy it and don't regret listening to it. Check it out if you want to feel better about yourself because you'll realize that at least you're not as conflicted as this character.
Meh - Slow Story But Enjoyable
