About this listen

Tomkin Thornhewn, youngest son of the Duke of Marshwell, has a problem: He’s not heroic.

Regardless of his aspirations, the bookish, untrained young man is better suited to recording the deeds of heroes than being one himself.

Which becomes an obvious problem when he finds himself clinging to a ledge above a sleeping dragon. And instead of wielding his family’s great sword with valor and skill, he drops it - onto the dragon.

The problem grows immeasurably worse when Tomkin himself falls off the ledge - also onto the dragon.

And his problem reaches its peak when Tomkin, after being captured, discovers a maiden locked in a tower. But this is no sweet damsel. Not only does she refuse to be rescued, she refuses to even admit she’s in distress.

It’s too bad for the people of Marshwell that Tomkin is the only thing standing - or falling - in the dragon’s way.

JA Andrews introduced the world to the magic-wielding, world-saving, story-telling Keepers in A Threat of Shadows. Now you can enjoy one of the Keeper’s most-beloved tales: The story of Tomkin and the dragon, in this engaging, lighthearted novel.

A Keeper's Tale: The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon is a stand-alone story. The Keepers in The Keeper Chronicles are, among other things, storytellers. This is the retelling of one of their favorite tales. It can be listened to at any time with respect to The Keeper Chronicles.

wonderful

absolutely loved it. favorite in the series only wish it was longer or there were more of these stories by the keepers. I was worried if would not hold up to all the hype since it's named as the most requested or favorite story multiple times in the keeps chronicles but it did not disappoint.

Not thrilled with narration, but enjoyed the story

I listened to this after Chronicles, so comparison to narrator made accepting this one difficult. But nice story!!

the story from the story

*Audiobook Review*

Tomkin and the Dragon is a story that is referenced multiple times throughout J.A. Andrews Keeper Chronicles. This is the definitive version of that story.

I have to say I did not expect a novel based on a reference in another novel to as interesting as it was. Clearly there is a reason this is the most requested story in Queensland.

Tomkin is an intelligent and impulsive hero who is actually good at solving his problems with diplomacy over force. I love how resourceful he is and really wish more fantasy stories emphasise this kind of bravery more.

The narrator is the same as the one who narrated three books in The Keeper Chronicles. He does a great job and I love that Keeper Will is instantly recognizable as the same character by voice alone.
