In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic.... The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful. It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.

Unbeknownst to mortals, the gods had been summoned together, and among them was Mystra, grown proud and willful in the passing eons. With the others, she was about to be stripped of her godhood.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 84
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.

Publisher's Summary
Azoun IV, in the twilight of his years, is still a shining hero to most of his subjects, and to all but the eldest, the only king they've ever known. He's led them capably out of dark doom before.
Yet Cormyr has never faced so many mighty and mysterious foes at once. Demonic ghazneths, ancient curses, weird trees of foul magic, goblins and their kin on the rise in the northern wilderlands, a blight upon the land, rebellious mutterings, dying war wizards...and a dragon the likes of which no living eyes on Faerun have ever seen.
The Purple Throne doesn't seem so unassailable now. It could well shatter under the weight of a gigantic dragon - or the secrets and follies of the last of the Obarskyrs.

Great book, Great story, not so great narrator.
Would you consider the audio edition of Death of the Dragon to be better than the print version?
I would say that it's almost identical.
What did you like best about this story?
Continuing the stories of the Dragon thrown, and the Forgotten Realms.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of J. P. Linton?
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...
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
At most parts yes, but, it does have a couple slow parts.

I loved every minute
after first encountering cormyr in few of elminsters books, and hearing of royal magician. I was interested to hear their stories. this final chapter delivered anticipated ending, but the road there was full of excitement and I'm glad I listened to this.
