Prince of Authia

The Dragons of Apenninus, Book Two

By: James Agapoff

Narrated by: Fred Wolinsky

Furius, King of Authia, is dead.

Armed with only his father's sword and an ancient dragon pendant, Dagan, the son of the King, flees into the Highlands, where the dragon, Aurifer, rescues him. But Dagan's relief is quickly shattered when he accidentally injures one of the dragon younglings, Corylus.

Faced with the loss of his kingdom and the shame of his act, Dagan vows to heal Corylus and quests for the healing spring of Apenninius. But standing between Dagan and the spring is the 12 kingdoms ruled by the ruthless Praetor Marius. To fulfill his promise, Dagan must face his father's killer and choose between the oath of friendship and revenge.

Prince of Authia

King Furius is dead and his son has fled with only his father's sword and a pendant of the dragons. He thinks it might be OK when a older dragon rescues him, but poor Dagan hurts a young dragon accidentally and nothing he can do will win the dragons back. But Dagan refuses to give up and proceeds on the most dangerous trip anyone, human or dragon, might undertake. He is going to find a way to heal the young dragon if he dies trying and that is a definite possibility.

This is such a wonderful book and series, with the never ending action and stay up late with a flashlight under the covers reading to find out what happens next. If you are lucky enough to get the audio narrated by the wonderful Fred Wolinsky than you are really in for a treat, and it is well worth the money at 18 and a half hours long that will go by in a blink. Mr. Wolinsky can transfer you right in to Authia and you can be part of Dagan's small group, all with his voice, oh and what voices he can come up with for each character. This is such a wonderful story no matter which format for you choose, and I hope you love it as much as I do.

Wonderful Fantasy Adventure

While this is the second book in a series, it can be read/listened-to as a stand-alone. There are two fantasy stories that intersect, all with dragons, magical worlds, and high stakes adventure. I really enjoyed the characters, the humor, and the plot which was full of twists and turns. The narrator does a great job at bringing each character uniquely to life and dramatizing the story. It is a long book, but it kept my interest throughout and did not lag. I would highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys fantasy, adventure, and dragons.
