It can lay low a dragon or heal a wounded warrior. It is the most sought-after magical power in all Faern. And it is in the reluctant hands of Shandril of Highmoon, a young, orphaned kitchen-lass. Now she's on the run from half of the evil sorcerers in the land, not to mention their relentless minions. But with the help of a handsome young wizard, some rough-and-tumble Knights of Myth Drannor, and a certain old mage of Shadowdale, she just might manage to stay alive. At least until tomorrow.

Renegade dragon hunter Dorn hates dragons with a passion few can believe, let alone match. He has devoted his entire life - a life spent in the twisted body of a half-golem - to killing every dragon he can find. You might feel the same way if one of them had killed your entire family in front of your eyes, bitten you in half, and left you for dead. Killing one dragon at a time is hard enough, but when the irresistible impluse to slip into feral madness begins to overcome not one but every dragon all across Faern, civilization's only hope may lie in the last alliance Dorn and his fellow dragon hunters would ever accept.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Anyone who reads the Forgotten Realms definitely needs to read this series.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Eric Michael Summerer or Victor Bevine would have been great.Linton just has to low of a voice for this, and overly pronounces T,S, and P's. Reminds me of a quiet movie, then LOUD commercials...
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Dragon ThroneGreat book, Great story, not so great narrator.
