Return of the Darkening: The Complete Series

De: Ava Richardson

Narrado por: Tiffany Williams

Evil lurks in the kingdom’s shadows. And only an unlikely pair of heroes can stop it....

Thea Flamma has one goal: to bring honor to her noble family by becoming a dragon rider. But her plans take an unexpected turn when she’s paired with Seb, an awkward, scrappy stablehand far removed from the elegance of her world. Their dragon has chosen, and the two must put their differences aside to master the bond that could save the realm.

For Seb, being thrust into the world of dragon riders is as thrilling as it is overwhelming. Gone are the days of obscurity in his poor village, but bonding with Thea proves harder than taming his dragon. Yet despite their rocky start, Seb discovers a connection with their dragon more powerful than he ever imagined.

As whispers of an ancient evil awaken into deadly reality, Thea and Seb are drawn into a desperate race to find the mythical Dragon Stone—a relic said to hold the key to saving the kingdom. But with betrayal lurking in every shadow, they’ll have to decide where their true loyalties lie: in the families they’ve left behind, or in the fragile bond they’re forging together.

Friendship, danger, and fire-breathing adventure collide in this gripping dragon rider tale.

The thrilling boxset, Return of the Darkening: The Complete Series, was expanded and republished in November 2024—now with even more quests, magic and epic battles!

Another Good Dragon Adventure

Ava Richardson impresses me so much because she consistently writes wonderful Dragon adventures. Her writing is clever, and the characters she creates are fun, loyal, and heroic. This audiobook series had my attention from start to finish. The narration by Tiffany Williams is creative and really brings the story and characters to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and highly recommend it.

The New Dragon Riders

Sebastian Smith, the overworked son of a blacksmith and Thea Flamma of the House of Flamma, a noble were both chosen by the crimson red dragon, Kalax. A mismatched pair as cadets, they nevertheless become worthy dragon riders.

When Seb and Thea become full dragon riders, it’s during a time of a mysterious darkness that overtakes everything in its path.

This trilogy was full of adventure and danger as each rider learns the meaning of family.

Final stories of the first dragon riders, Neil Torvald and Char Nefretti top of the third book. This was as entertaining and mesmerizing as the First Dragon Rider series, and worth a five star review.
