Dragon Defenders of Destia, Books 1-3

Three Book YA Dragon Rider Fantasy Boxset

De: Ava Richardson

Narrado por: Isabella Tugman

An orphan girl and a dragon runt are the kingdom’s only hope…

Eva Thirsk is no dragon rider… She’s just a lonely orphan on an isolated farm. In her hopes of finding a new life for herself—and maybe learning more about her past—Eva enlists in the army. But when she’s put to work, she finds herself relegated to the lowest of jobs—cleaning the dragon stables.

Too small for combat, Perrell is a lowly pack dragon who dreams of flying into battle. But like Eva, she refuses to accept her fate. She senses a spark of courage in the young orphan… the same spark that burns in her own heart. Together, they will form a friendship. But when the warlock Malcolm Venistrare escapes his magical prison, everything changes.

Now, Eva finds herself imbued with strange new magical abilities. With that magic, she’s capable of bonding with a dragon, making her and Perrell the dragon-riding team they’d always dreamed of being. But the magic holds a dark side. There are deep mysteries surrounding the power she now holds, the forces she’s capable of wielding… and the family line she secretly carries.

As Venistrare joins with Destia’s enemies and escalates the war, the whole nation is at risk. Will Destia support Eva as she battles against the warlock—or will they turn against her once the truth is revealed?

Entertaining and Imaginative

This is a delightful adventure fantasy series based on dragons and their magic endued riders. I have read the entire series of the Kindle box set, and I thoroughly enjoyed the many adventures and growth of the main characters. The creative vocalization and narration of the audiobook only heightened my enjoyment. This fantasy series kept my interest from the first page of Book 1 to the final page of Book 6. I highly recommend, not just Books 1-3, but the entire 6 book collection for those who enjoy fantasy tales of dragons and the fight against good and evil.

Dragon Defenders of Destia Books 1-3

Dragon Perrell is the runt of his litter and Eva Thirsk has a secret family line even she is not aware of. When she discovers she has magic and bonds with Perrell, both their lives change. This trilogy is outstanding, the characters are wonderful and the story is very imitative. Then there is the “friendship” with the Noble Dragon Rider Oliver. This series will sweep you in and holds on to you until the very last page.
Ava Richardson is as impressive as Anne McCaffrey I can see why she has inherited the title Queen of the Dragons! She is at the top of my list of beloved authors! This audiobook is narrated by Isabella Tugman who does an outstanding job presenting Ava’s story.

Pleasantly surprised

I missed the fact that this is YA when I chose it. Because of that I thought about skipping it but decided to give it a try. So glad I did. From the first page to the last I was 100% invested. The pacing of the story, characters and plotline kept me wanting to know what would happen next. The story felt like Harry Potter meets Fourth Wing which was a plus as I absolutely love both series. After listening to Dragon Defenders of Destia, I plan to binge more of this authors work. Hopefully, there's more talking dragons because who doesn't love talking dragons?.
