Length: 7 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's Summary

I want to protect him...no matter the cost.

After uncovering a threat to dragons everywhere, my mission was simple - find the mage with the evil magic book, and bring him back home to Emberwood Weyr. There we could figure out what he knew...and what we could do about it. 

Finding him was easy...but protecting him is hard. 

The more I get to know Daniel, the more I realize that he’s another victim in all this - hunted, afraid, and so beaten down he can’t even recognize a helping hand when it’s offered. He tugs at my heartstrings even while his out of control magic threatens to burn the world down around us. 

Good thing I’m fireproof. 

Ashes and Flame is a 77k word novel featuring dangerous genies, a mysterious sentient book, uncontrollable magic, and explosive, fiery passion. With a mage too broken to believe in victory, and a dragon determined to save him in spite of it, this third in series is best listened to after book two: Ashes and Grave.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Nice story

Story was well developed and thought out. Daniel and Rez are the MC’s of this book. The narration was good and not dead, which I liked. I recommend this book as a listen

Definitely enjoyed

I really liked this story it kept my attention throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed the Magic’s aspect of it all. The narrator did a good job at bringing it all to the forefront. Definitely a recommend.

Good

This is the third book in The Dragon Magic Series. A captivating book with good writing. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters charming. The characters were developed and thought out. Daniel and Rez are the MC’s of this book. The narration was good and not monotone. I can recommend this book as a good read/listen. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

So Good

Accidentally Perfect...
Daniel's has a habit of setting things on fire, but for Rez that's not a problem. They are perfectly suited for each other.

Theron LaFountain did an excellent job with the narration.

Ashes and Flame

This was the first book I listened to in this series and it was really good! I am definitely going to go back and listen to the previous ones but I was still able to follow and enjoy this story without having listened to those. I loved that Daniel was a mage who wasn’t the best at controlling his magic and would at times accidentally set things on fire but his mate being a dragon that was alright. Hard to set a dragon on fire and all that. And Rez is pretty great. I loved this couple so much! This story had a lot of action and kept me entertained the entire time!

Great addition

To this series. I listened to the first but missed the 2nd. I didn't feel like I missed out though I will go back and listen to it now. This story was so much better to me than the 1st one. It kept you interested and the story and world is more appealing and intriguing. LaFountain does the narration well overall it's a good listen.

Amazing!

Ashes and Flame is book 3 in the Dragon Magic series and should be enjoyed in order. I love this book. Daniel is a mage that can't control his magic and tends to set things on fire. Good thing Rez, a dragon shifter, is fireproof. Rez is sent to find this mage who also has a magical book and has a Djinn after him. This story is action packed. It drew me in from the very beginning and has become my favorite in the series so far. Rez and Daniel just fit so well together. Theirs was a long hard journey and I love how protective Rez got of Daniel. This book does have the tiniest bit of daddy/boy kink that only adds to their dynamic. I highly recommend this book and series.
Narrator Theron LaFountain does an amazing job.

Loved Nix and Mikhail!!

I loved Nix and Mikhail!! I really liked the first story in this series, but I loved this one! Nix was the leader of his dragon weyr and Mikhail is a necromancer. Nix’s weyr has a “ghost” problem and has need of a necromancer. The story line of this one was so much clearer and more concise. The twist and turns in this were heart breaking at times. But it was so good!! The narration was well done!

intriguing!

The saga continues! Rez is sent on assignment to find a mate who has unstable magic, fire to be exact, and he is fire proof! Daniel tries to get away from the being stalking him but doesn't want anyone hurt. The assignment leads them to a place in my home state, Loup City, Nebraska. This story is so awesome! I can't wait until the next one!

Great listen

This book is part of a series but works as a stand-alone. I've listened to book two but not one and am not confused.

I really like these guys and their story. I loved checking in with old friends. The whole idea of glitches in magic was fascinating to me. I also like the dragon non-dragon pairings. These guys had a twisty turny road, but one they gladly took for each other.

I'm really looking forward to going even more in-depth in this world. I recommend.

Theron did an excellent job with the narration.

WOW!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story really seemed to change from the prior books. This one seemed very much to stand apart, even though the dragons and mages from the prior books were involved. Ivan and his plot are mentioned many times, but the book doesn't necessarily seen to be the instrument of evil I thought. Maybe it is more like it is neither good nor evil, but what you use it for that determines its effect. I liked the appearance of Eros at the end, but it sure did create more questions. This book didn't seem as self-contained as its predecessors, because the story of Res and Daniel is obviously not completed. I hope the next book continues their journey or I will be very disappointed. I loved this story, and the way Daniel and Res's relationship went from sow-burn to burning hot (literally).

The narration was excellent, especially for Daniel and his emotional angst and insecurity.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Loved it

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook.
It was a very entertaining story that had me engaged from the beginning.

Another wonderful book in the series!

The plot is getting more complex as the series advance because even if each book can be read as a standalone, it Is much better if the series Is read in order. Another story full of action and danger, in a world of magic and dragones. of course when you added a love story in the mix and a smooth voice, great acting and general performance with Mr LaFountain' s narration, you'd get an amazing book 3. Loved It!

Still magical

Jill Haven and Aiden Bates have added a great story to the series. Theron LaFountain did amazing work with the narration. A very addictive series.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Plot threads connecting all over the place

This is the book in the series where all kinds of problems that have been bubbling in the background all decide to explode at the same time. You have magic books that won't reveal their secrets, mages who can't control their magic and dragons trying to hold the world together while finding their fated mates. Lots of things going on here and it is a real roller coaster ride. Can't wait to see where everything goes from here in the next volume. I love the way this series brings in all the characters we have come to know and love from previous volumes and gives them more than just walk on parts. The performance by Theron LaFountain fit with my imagination of the characterizations and kept me avidly listening.

Rez and Daniel

Rez is a Dragon who is to find Daniel and retrieve Ivan's magic book. He tracks him down to find out Daniel is his mate and has been on the run for 12 yrs. Beautifully written and narrated
