Dragon Ascending

Vanir Dragon Series, Book 1

By: Amy Beatty

Narrated by: Christopher Dukes

"Extraordinarily entertaining and innovative." (Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game)

A perilous quest, to find the missing king, and win the heart of a beautiful princess. What could possibly go wrong?

Edrik, son of the murdered Drake regent, never gained his dragon magic and cannot shapeshift into his dragon form. Unfit to marry his love, the Princess Lissara, Edrik embarks on a dangerous mission to prove himself worthy. He seeks Lissara's missing father, the dragon king, before an enemy usurps the throne.

Unfortunately, the search for the king brings Edrik to a dungeon located in human territory. Inside the prison, Edrik discovers the missing king, whose captors are unaware of his true identity. Edrik must rely on a grubby young dungeon keeper to help them escape without disclosing that his companion is the dragon king. But the dungeon keeper has a secret identity as well, one that will change Edrik's destiny forever.

Super cute love story!

I was hooked right away and even though I figured out the first major twist right away I was delighted when I discovered I was right. Charming characters, interesting world. I'm looking forward to the sequel!

Romance

Romantic adventure. Lots of conversations. Some action. Lots of drama. This is a bit mislabeled. it is focused on the guy and girls interaction. the adventure only happens while they struggle into romance.

Great Take On Dragons A Bit Too Much Romance

The world that the author is creating in this book is one where dragons have a human form and can "ascend" into dragon form. I thought the book started off a bit slow but it picks up around chapter 6. A bit too much romance for my liking but I stuck it out since I enjoyed the story overall. I thought the narrator did a good job of giving each character a distinct and compelling voice. However, the narrator did repeat lines but this only happens 2-4 times at most from what I remember, so it didn't affect the overall flow of the storyline. I think this series has potential and if you like dragons and romance I'd recommend it.

fantastic book fantastic narrator

I devoured this book nearly in one setting.IT is EXCELLENT!! I seriously don't have a single comment beyond that. Everything about it was well done, entertaining, imaginative and heart rending. and I typically dislike stories about dragons. You all should read this.

Delightful!

This was such an entertaining story! So many surprises and outstanding character and world development. The narration was so superb that when he read the credits at the end it jarred me a little to hear his real name as he was so convincing as the voice of the characters. Can’t wait to read the next one!
