Publisher's summary

The battle for Torvald begins.

As the young heir of a noble house fallen into decay, Bower has reluctantly shouldered the mantle he was born with - that of Torvald's rightful king. It is his destiny to throw off the shackles of King Enric and lead his people to freedom, or so he's been told.

With the help of the wild and untamed Dragon Rider Saffron, he hopes to unite his downtrodden people. It will take an uneasy alliance with a rogue band of Dragon Riders and their charismatic leader, Ryland, to challenge the Dark Mage king, but distrust threatens to tear apart the force that he's risked everything to build.

Now, on the eve of battle, Bower will have to fulfill a mystical prophecy and become the leader he was born to be or risk his future kingdom falling apart. Surrounded on all sides by deadly foes, he must face not only the evil king but his deep doubts about himself.

Dragon series.

Enjoying the series in total. Individual reading would be fine; one just gets the complete picture with the series.

an amazing story, a great follow up to the first!

a bit ago I posted a review on the first book in this series, I swore it was amazing and I said I was looking forward to reading the second and third books, well I've just finished the second book, and my opinion has not changed. the second book in the series was most definitely a good follow-up to the first, and I can just imagine the third will finish everything up nicely. this is a definite must read for everyone who enjoys fantasy and especially who enjoys dragons! looking forward to the third book!

Fantastically beautiful

Absolutely loved it , it was captivating with a twist of fate at the end

breathtaking and such an Adventure.

could barely stop listening to The Saga unfold. cannot wait to listen to the adventure in the next installment

Great Book

love it. she. is a great author. and I love the two readers. thank you.

A real coming of age story

A great story, good speed and cleverly structured, I miss Tiffany as narrator though but well done

odd pacing

it is a rather entertaining story, though the pacing is odd and very little is explained about the world

Richardson’s Great Storytelling Hits Again

Young Bower living with Saffron and a den of dragons is destined to be king, and Saffron just doesn’t see it. She trains him to fight because she knows the terrible enemy Bower must someday face, but despairs of his ever being ready.

No one does coming of age stories better than Ava Richardson, and she does hers with dragons! This is more than a boy becoming a man, he is becoming a king and a leader of men and dragons!

Evil Enrick has turned Torvald against dragons and has turned his magic on Saffron. Bower and Saffron will need all the help they can get to fight the evil of Enrick and the Iron Guard.

You can read this as a stand-alone, but you can’t go wrong with any of Ava Richardson’s dragon trilogies.

The audible performance on her books are usually good. This one was good enough to distinguish the characters most of the time, although I did get confused a time or two.

A great read

Now the story gets interesting. The author creates very intricate worlds and ferocious battles. There is also plenty of dragons.
Bower now has to face his destiny and that is Torvald’s rightful king but he still doubts himself. Enric is still after Saffron and planning on ridding the world of dragons. The group now has to find more dragon riders so they went looking for the Three Rivers Tribe. Once they found them they discovered they did indeed have dragons but were horrified at their treatment. They were chained & collared. There was no bond of any kind with their riders. Ryland their leader challenged Bower. He said he wouldn't follow Bower until he passed a challenge. The challenge was to mount one of the wild chained dragons. Again Bower doubted himself but knew he had to do it if he had any hope of claiming the title of king. He would also have to unite the wild dragons with some riders if he had any hope to defeat Enric.
