Dragon Dreams

The Chronicles of Shadow and Light, Book 1

By: Dusty Lynn Holloway

Narrated by: Rob Goll

A prophecy of murder.

An elf hunted by dragons.

One man who risks everything to save her.

Nachal is a human that should not be having prophetic Dragon Dreams. But he does. Every night he dreams of an elf running through flames, trying in vain to outrun the Rebel Dragon Obsidian. Every night he sees her fall. Sees her eyes close. Feels her heart as it slows, and then stops. Every night, through the connection of the dream, he dies with her. It's a spiral that he can't control, and it's slowly driving him insane.

Auri is an elf raised by a powerful human king not of her own blood. Left behind by the mother who perished far from the elven isle El'dell, she seeks to forge her life among the humans. Her journey takes her to the land of her heritage. To a place that holds both a haunting betrayal, and a miracle that just might save her life.

Together, they become embroiled in a conspiracy where destinies are intertwined, love is born in the fallout of ultimate sacrifice, and the only path to victory lies through the searing flames of dragon fire.

What a fun story! Dragons, elves, magic, mystery, romance and plenty of action - what more could you ask for in a fantasy adventure? Throw in the wonderful narration of Rob Goll and you have all the ingredients for a highly entertaining listen. I would definitely recommend Dragon Dreams.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. This review is my honest opinion.

A fantastical tale of war and love

Dusty Lynn Holloway has written a very interesting book. It starts at the end with a dream that is a vision of a rather bleak future. To be honest, I felt a little lost initially, not quite understanding what was happening and who it was happening to.

Then the story meanders through an intricate tapestry of complex patterns with a lyrical flavour. This is a world filled with dwarves, elves, humans, a wolf and dragons in a war between light and darkness. It is filled with love, sacrifice, decisions with deepseated ramifications and much more. As the threads become clearer, the plot picks up momentum, builds and thickens.

It is hard not to be fascinate as a wonderful and terrible world is brought to life. The relationship between the characters are intrinsically tied together in past and present with coincidences that certainly don't feel coincidental. The plot has tremendous potential and I look forward to the next book.

Rob Goll has narrated the story in a way that matches the temperament of the book. He has brought the characters and circumstances to life making the journey enjoyable.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Great Begnning!

Any additional comments?

Murder….. always a good binding force in mystery. Dragon Dreams is a two world story that weaves between the worlds of Dragons, elves and magic and the human world. Told as two intertwined stories there can be some confusion in the beginning. As the story progresses the two parts become easier to understand as they make a whole story. The emotions and struggles keep you wondering what comes next.

Overall it is well written and builds a wonderful world with enchanting descriptions. Dragon Dreams sets a well built stage for a series. I look forward to seeing what comes next, but do hope the writer pays closer attention to the joins between the separate stories if she chooses to continue in this style.

I loved Rob Gall's narration. He gave great voice to the dragon. His voice and narration was a great addition to the book.
