Some secrets are best left buried.
Desiree Black’s foster family welcomed her years ago, but most of the villagers merely tolerate the 17-year-old’s presence with barely concealed hatred - and fear. Dez herself can’t stomach remembering the strange power that rose up inside her and left her brother with a shattered arm. The only peace she finds from others’ accusing stares is in the misty swamps surrounding the village. Swamps that have long held mystical secrets.
Secrets that are ready to be exposed.
After a narrow escape from the town bully sends Dez deep into the swamps, she stumbles across a glowing, warm stone buried in the muck. Long-hidden truths are divulged when a crazy hag rescues her and sets Dez on an extraordinary new course - to become one of the legendary dragon riders.
Now Dez and her dragon hatchling must harness their magical link on the long journey to join the Rebellion - and avoid the enemy closing in on them. But it’s in the heat of battle where Dez discovers the painful reality of her forgotten past.
And exactly why she can’t be trusted.
Queen of the Dragons Ava Richardson invites you to immerse yourself in a dragon-filled world with epic magic, fearless characters, and, at its heart, the deep bond between dragon and rider.

The narrator had a tendency to sound a bit robotic especially in the beginning. She did smooth out and come more in character throughout the story. though it seemed to falter here and there though.
Still an amazing story! So, don't let the narrating discourage you.

Pieter, her younger foster brother then asked to join the sparring – but on Khan’s side against Dez. He wanted her to show her full strength, make her fight with instinct rather than hesitate and try to hold back. She wanted to fight in the Rebellion to honor her dragon-rider parents and help stop the Spirit King. But once again, her fear of hurting them distracted her and Khan got the points he needed to be recruited for the Rebellion. What she feared was rumors that the Spirit King was sending recruiters this way, too, and if she didn’t leave with the Rebellion now, chances were good that she’d end up a conscripted soldier in Ashimax’s army which would be intolerable! She would have to somehow find another way to impress the recruiter that didn’t involve sparring.
Wandering and thinking about her situation, she was surprised when Jaklin Moild and her pack of bullies came up behind her to mock her about her failure. Jaklin played with a knife in her hands. Dez knew she could fight all of them, but she didn’t want to hurt them. Jaklin threw a handful of swamp mud all over her, then the gang moved in and grabbed her roughly as they hurled her into a deep, bad-smelling bog. Jaklin kicked her hands every time Dez tried to get out of the bog, fearful that alligators would be drawn to the bloody dead duck carcass she spotted. Sure enough, she heard at least two of them and the bullies hurried away, leaving her to fend for herself.
With the alligators in pursuit and trying to cut off her escape, she ran deeper into the swamp until she tripped over a large rock. But the rock had purple veins that were actually glowing. Digging it out of the mud, she found it was larger than she realized and felt warm. Engrossed in her find, Dez did not hear the gator that began to lunge at her, mouth opened wide, until a walking stick smacked it on the head. The old “gator lady” had saved her, surprisingly lifting the rock out of the mud and handing it to her. Then she took Dez home with her to tell her about the “rock” she had found.
Another shock also awaited her when the old woman took off her disguise and told her she was her Aunt Lula Black! She also told her that her parents were the king and queen of Gald before Ashimax destroyed it—and that Dez was actually a princess. Lula was a dragon-rider and when she fell from her dragon’s back, she had a vision that a dragon rider would rise from the southern swamplands and become a great hero for the Rebellion. She knew that Dez would be that hero! And her rock with the purple veins was her destiny -- a dragon egg. Is this what she needed to join the Rebellion? Can she actually become a dragon rider with the help of her Aunt and fight for the Rebellion against the Spirit King?
This book is so amazing! It will grab the reader’s imagination and never let go! It flows so well that it feels as if you are living the story and not just reading it! Grab your copy and follow Dez’s amazing adventure to see if she is indeed the hero who will save the world from the Spirit King!
Amazing Adventure !!!

Narrator's performance is strangely halting. The slow, staccato articulation come across as robotic. I had to speed up playback by 25% to mimic natural, connected speech.
Will not continue with series.
Passable for a YA Novel

For some reason, I usually read books and even series out of order. I did so in this case, listening to The Last of the Dragonriders series before this one. In this world's timeline, this Dragonspawn Trilogy series certainly comes first! I was in no way lost, however. In fact, I enjoyed meeting the younger versions of characters I've come to love. Especially at the beginning of the book, I found it particularly amusing to watch the actions, reactions, and interactions of the sometimes bratty sibling teenagers! But they each definitely had their own growth arc in this book, even if Dez’s was more at the forefront than her brothers. After seeing Pieter so strong in the other series, it felt weird to see him as the younger, often ignored brother, although I loved seeing his meeting and initial battle with Gloriox, his dragon. Dez gets her dragon, too, Nightsoul, which hatches from an egg, and she has to convince it to bond with her by believing in herself and acting despite fear. Watching Dez find a lost family member, learn the truth about her parents, and tune into a particular magic based on bringing up memories was intriguing and enjoyable to listen to. This author certainly has creative types of magic in these books. I liked how Des was not only able to tap into her own memories but also pull from more collective memories; her magic, too, when used to perform difficult magic feats, actually made it so that her memories started to fade or even disappear temporarily, actually making her ill. Intriguing concepts! Loved it. If you enjoy books with dragon warfare, fire- and ice-breathing dragons, powerful tide-turning magic, and teleportation mid-air, you'll enjoy the battle scenes in this book! I've already started listening to the second book of the series, and I'm looking forward to hearing what will happen to Desiree Black, her adoptive brothers, and their fight against the Spirit King.
Personal and Dragon Battles!
