Story4.5 out of 5 stars 422
Aram thinks he’s nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village in a dark corner of the world. As far as Aram knows, he has nothing, with hardly a possession to his name other than a desire to make friends and be accepted by those around him, which is something he’s never known. But Aram is more. Much, much more. Unknown to him, Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and there are others who would twist him to use for their own sinister purposes.

Publisher's summary
Step into an epic world of sword and sorcery, intrigue and betrayal....
The realm of Drinnglennin hangs poised on the cusp of chaos, for Urlion Konigur, the High King, is dying and has yet to name an heir. Rumors abound that the Helgrins, Drinnglennin's bitterest foes, are preparing their longboats to raid the Isle's shores, while the roving å Livåri folk, for whom the island kingdom is the last sanctuary, are mysteriously disappearing. And in distant Belestar, the fabled dragons are stirring from their self-imposed exile.
Drinnglennin's hopes lie with the wizard Morgan, who must gather together and safeguard the king's possible heirs, all of whom are coming of age. Yet a dangerously powerful house seeks the succession for one of their own, even if it means shattering the fragile peace of the realm.
One thing is certain; whoever next sits on the Einhorn Throne will determine the fate of not only Drinnglennin, but of all who dwell in the Known World.

Absorbing, Exciting...Magic & Dragons!
Go on a journey with a wizard, a boy and a dragon linked permanently to the young wizard in training. This compares admirably with epic fantasy such as Lord of the Rings, The Sword of Shannara, or The Belgariad. Well drawn characters and plenty of twists and turns in the plotline. Well done. A great listen. Can hardly wait for the next book in this series.

dragons and magic
the narration was very good adding to the story. The story was entertaining but it is a series that continues in the next book something I personally do not care for. I prefer my books to wrap up in nice little bows but allowing the characters to continue in another book.
