Publisher's summary

This is the story of Stavin Kel'Aniston. A boy trained as a warrior, he serves his people as a caravan guard to obtain gold for their community. Stavin earned dragon-scale armor from the dragon on the mountain for his bravery, but the gift of the dragon comes at a price.

Thieves, brigands, and ne'er-do-wells of every kind are attracted to Stavin. As the summer passes, Stavin fights for his life and the honor of his name.

I've always loved this book.

This is one of those books where the underdog almost has superpowers. His superpowers don't necessarily come from being stronger faster better than everyone else. To a degree he is better because of his own personal struggles. I just find myself really liking the main character. His morals, integrity and overall character make this a fun book.

Honest Review

If you like violence and a straight forward plot you will like this. No stupid MC just action and consequences.

All That Glitters

The book and series are the best, I have ever read. The author's excellent story telling combined with her sense of humour turns out a delightful and intriguing tale. Not only are you breathlessly turning every page, you are already thinking about the next book in the series. You will be swept away by the magnificent warrior's courage, honor and sense of duty.

great story

narrator is absolutely spot on. I could listen to him reading a dictionary. Story is great, and character development is very nice.

Great story. Good narrator.

Many of the Male voices sound almost the same but it's rarely an issue. Overall the narrator is really good for sure.

This book is really good.
Main character is not necessarily OP, he's more of an under-dog but even then not really because his skill with his choice weapon is unrivaled. He's just short and skinny.

Also he has dragon armor that's really OP!
No weapons can penetrate the armor. And it's lightweight, so that's cool right.

Start of a great series

A coming of age epic fantasy book. I'm glad I stumbled on this. It's about a boy, Stavin, who conquered his fear by facing a real dragon. The dragon awarded his bravery with indestructible armour and weapon. Being bullied at an early age, Stavin went on to become a formidable fighter. He has dragon luck amassing a great fortune. If you like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series, Kel Kade's King's Dark Tiding series, then your search is over for In this series you'll find much of the same type of Epic Fantasy. Even though these series are a shorter novella than the aforementioned It's a delight to listen to and you better have 6 credits left to enjoy these.
