Resumen del Editor

A legend from the past is a kingdom's only hope....

Cora knows her grandmother's stories of the noble dragon riders by heart, even though most people consider them just a myth. But for Cora, the legends are a pleasant distraction from her concern for her ailing father and the enormous debt they owe to the king's garrison.

Desperate to help her father, Cora becomes a scale scavenger, risking life and limb by entering the territory of the deadly, feral dragons to gather the highly valuable scales. But her first attempt nearly ends in tragedy when she’s trapped by an angry dragon. They are both stunned when she unlocks the secret of communicating with him.

As Cora and the dragon, Alaric, grow closer, they uncover more secrets from the kingdom’s past. There was a dark conclusion to the dragon rider legacy, brought about by a malicious force that sought power at any cost. That force still holds the kingdom in thrall—and has no intention of allowing the dragon riders to rise again.

Can Cora and Alaric reignite a legend from the past, before it’s too late?

DRAGONS BEGUN

THIS IS A FANTASTIC START OF A SERIES! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE REST OF THE SERIES COME OUT ON AUDIO!

Wonderfully written!

Loved it! It was a fun twist to the dragon tails! I enjoyed it greatly.

great start to the series

This book was a great start to this dragon rider series. the heroine is well written and I like to hear her thoughts and history as to why she reacts to situations the way she does. The narrator did a great job voicing all the characters.

Loved it

Received free and enjoyed every moment of this story. The idea that humans and dragons could be a bonded pair, talk to each other and be mutually beneficial. Hoping there is a second book I can purchase to hear more.

Forgotten history mystery

If you like forgotten history mysteries, dragon riders, outcast overcoming, and forbidden magic you will enjoy it.

A Simple YA Dragon Fantasy

A young woman grows up with tales of dragon readers from her Nanna while everyone else knows they are just a myth. That is until Cora meets a dragon face to face and is surprised that she can understand them … sort of. The story is a YA that is fairly par for the genre, so there is little nuance or complexity to the characters; even the plot is pretty straight forward and predictable. And like many teens, Cora can be overly dramatic, whiney and stubborn … traits that lead to several remarkably questionably decisions with consequences most of us could see coming. However, this is the first of the series, so our heroine has a lot of room to grow, World building is solid if somewhat basic. Character development is limited to the MC more or less, with almost basic caricatures of villains (from a teenager perspective at least). Although it follows nearly every dragon rider storyline that I have previously encountered in the broad strokes, there are still a few purposes and interesting twists that combined with a solid narration make this a little better that it would be on its own … and wholesome enough to maybe retain its relative feel good aspect throughout the series. I enjoyed it enough to look at the sequel.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Always an amazing ability to drag you into it.

Memorized after the first few chapters can stop listening. Fantastic from start to finish.

Very cute middle grade story

I did get a copy of this book for free.

Very sweet story about a girl and her bonded dragon. A story about friendship and family.

For parents: there is some death and mention of ale but no drunkenness, romance, or assault.

The reading was a bit slow for me, but probably a good pace for a young listener. A nice story to listen to together.

More of a Preteen Read

The main character comes across quite nieve and trusting that everything will work out fine. Which is more of a preteen additude then a Young adults, also MC comes across as quite young. This is a fairly good story and I will read the next book in the series. Narrator does a good job with the characters and Storyline.

Great YA Dragon Story

If you are a fan of How to Train Your Dragon, this book is perfect for you! The world building was simple and easy to follow. We learn a tale of a girl who only wants to help her father, but stumbles upon something much bigger than she could ever imagine-- cue the dragons!
The narrator did a wonderful job, and she did distinct voices with different characters, which makes it easy to distinguish between characters.
This is a wonderful book for the younger side of the YA genre, seeing as there is no vulgar language, romance/intimacy, etc.
