Publisher's summary

A kingdom divided cannot stand. For those caught in the middle, it means death.

For centuries, humans and dragons existed side-by-side in Alveria, bonded by their care of one another. But no longer. After decades with no viable eggs, humans far outnumber dragons, and the survival of the species appears bleak. The outlook for everyday humans is little better as rogue dragons raid and torment villages. Yet it’s far worse for the tamers, beaten and killed simply for serving the noble dragons.

But eking by at the bottom of Alverian society isn’t any easier for 17-year-old Kaelan Younger. Harder still when her loyalty to the dragon crown is no secret. But when her dying mother reveals a horrifying truth about her identity, Kaelan is thrust into a world for which she is ill-prepared.

Faced with a new life at the proving grounds for humans and dragons alike, Kaelan must reconcile not just her past, but embrace the future laid out before her. When her responsibilities as an Akademy tamer collide with her feelings for a powerful dragon shifter, it will take everything she has to prepare for the coming danger threatening them both. The fate of the dragons she has sworn to serve rests in her hands.

Now, Kaelan is no longer an outsider. She’s the enemy.

I warn you, it's very difficult to turn off.

Yes, I listened until after 4 am, I just wanted to know what happened.
So, if you want a fantastic supernatural tale, with Dragon shifters and daring females, this story will fit your criteria nicely.
But, be warned, it's additive!

Took a few to get used to the angle of the book

I have listened to all of the other books in this authors series from first person perspective. It took a while to get used to this authors shift in perspective but once I got used to it I love this book.

A good book

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Although this was geared towards a younger audience, it was still quite enjoyable. My son and I listened to this book together and we both enjoyed it. The narration is done well and the story was well written. I thought the author did a great job world building and the main character had depth. All in all, a great listen and one I would recommend for fans of fantasy of all ages.

By: Ava Richardson

Surprisingly good.

This is a story about a peasant girl with powers of healing and a Prince who is learning his able to transform into a Dragon.
The two meet up on their way to the academy of Dragons and trainers.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. Its categorized as Childrens Audible but I'm 55 and listen to many genres. This is a fantasy book not just for children.

Narrated by: Rebekah Nemethy, did a great job. So many different voice

Excellent Teen Fantasy

This is a new author for me. I’m glad I decided to give this new series a try. The world created by the author is unique and interesting. I was hooked from beginning to conclusion. There is the right amount of adventure, romance, drama, and intrigue.

Narration was well done and brought the story to life.

The characters are well developed and the story did not take long to suck me in. I love having dual narration so I can clearly understand where both main characters are coming from.

I’m glad the author did NOT conclude in a major cliffhanger but wrapped things up a bit and hinted of what is to come. I’m really looking forward to book 2. This is a great start to a new clean dragon series that can be read by any age group.

Interesting

The book is only book one. It has a good solid base with interesting and diverse characters. I really like that females play such a strong role. As a mother of four daughters it is enlightening to read or listen to stories that show women as strong and valued. The story of a young peasant girl who has healing skills come into her own as a dragon tamer is both interesting and exciting.
