What if a dragon looked into your eyes...and saw into your soul?

Wenlyn dreams of seeing one of the legendary Harpy's Servants up close. As a poor village boy, he can't help but dream of the adventures the dragon-riding protectors of the realm must have. Now, one of them is coming to Tranquil village.

When the Servant arrives, Wenlyn's entire world falls away, and he embarks on an adventure of his own that even his wildest dreams couldn't have conjured up.

Soar the skies with Wenlyn in this short prequel to Dragon Magic, an epic fantasy series. First volume to be released late in 2018.

some good unexpected twists, the reading was ok for a bedtime story but otherwise wasnt expressive enough and was a bit plodding, it took me four tries to get to the ending because it keep putting me to sleep.

decent

I was seriously not ready for this. I enjoyed it... even though it was SOOOOOO SHORT. I did not see the end coming!!! I am seriously looking forward to this series... and the movie (hint, hint).

SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!

I think from this story and the struggles Wenlyn had in his early years that he is most deserving of the gift given to him in this story. I can't wait to read the next story in this series. I was given a copy of this story for an honest review. How lucky for me. I recommend this audiobook/ebook.

Oh, to be Wenlyn, I sigh

Wenlyn is an orphan living in a village. He takes a keen pleasure in causing his master agitation. Then word is that a dragon riding servant is coming to their village.
This is a very short story just to lay the groundwork for further adventures in Wenlyn's story.
Andrew Thacher brings Wenlyn to life as he takes us on this quick journey in the beginning story of Wenlyn.
Fantastic audio and story

This was a fun story to listen to. I've not read many dragon books and I find that this one really grabbed me. I'm ready to try some more, especially by this author. I love all of her books in other genres already.

The narrator was good, which always makes the listen much better and brings the characters and story to life.

I requested this audio book from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

This was a story that we enjoyed from beginning to end, it had great characters and story line, I requested this to listen with my nephew as he loves everything dragons. The narration by Andrew Thacher was good... I would recommend this to others. I received this audiobook review copy from the author and S.O. in exchange for my honest review.

Awesome Short

this short story really has me interested in learning more about this world. it's about how a boy becomes more than just a slave. hopefully the rest of the series lives up to this beginning. no adult content or major violence.
