About this listen

Evil lurks in the kingdom’s shadows. And only an unlikely pair of heroes can stop it…

Thea Flamma has one goal: to bring honor to her noble family by becoming a dragon rider. But her plans take an unexpected turn when she’s paired with Seb, an awkward, scrappy stablehand far removed from the elegance of her world. Their dragon has chosen, and the two must put their differences aside to master the bond that could save the realm.

For Seb, being thrust into the world of dragon riders is as thrilling as it is overwhelming. Gone are the days of obscurity in his poor village, but bonding with Thea proves harder than taming his dragon. Yet despite their rocky start, Seb discovers a connection with their dragon more powerful than he ever imagined.

As whispers of an ancient evil awaken into deadly reality, Thea and Seb are drawn into a desperate race to find the mythical Dragon Stone—a relic said to hold the key to saving the kingdom. But with betrayal lurking in every shadow, they’ll have to decide where their true loyalties lie: in the families they’ve left behind, or in the fragile bond they’re forging together.

Friendship, danger, and fire-breathing adventure collide in this gripping dragon rider tale.

New version coming soon.

Passes the Bechdel Test

This is a phenomenal work of fiction that is on par with Eragon and The Chronicles of Amber. The story is captivating and the narrator does a good job of making sure the characters are able to be differentiated. I could not more highly recommend this series to anyone.

a tale of epic dragons and their heroic riders

I really enjoy this author's tales of dragons and their riders... their growth, their bond, their growth to overcome adversity. she does a good job of character building and world building so you become invested in the characters and their journey. the narrator does a good job with differentiating perspectives by voices and overall I really enjoyed and highly recommend both boxed sets I've listened to. If you grew up on the dragonriders of pern like I did, you will want to check out these books!

Moving along until the halfway point!

Am giving this review in the middle of the book --- which I NEVER do. The story was moving along pretty well and the characters and story line was OK. There is a little difficulty understanding which character is speaking until they say a few lines. There is a male and female lead character -- and the narrator does not do a good job switching between the two with their voice.

The story line is 24+ hours --I am about 15 hours in (chapter 50-53). I think the writer or the narrator has taken a Valium or sleeping pill. Currently in the middle of a long long snooze fest where the story is in perpetual slow motion, way too much explanation and description about scenery, feelings, thoughts etc. PLUS the narrator voice changes are even harder to understand who is thinking, feeling, etc. I didn't know a book could hit a low boring pointfor SO long -- will they ever dig out of this trench? Yawn!!.....

Will write an update after I take a break.

very adventurous

This was a very adventurous series. There was a good balance of action, descriptions, and explanations. The narrator did a good job of distinguishing between the voices.
