For centuries, Prince Maesa of the nomad clans has wandered the Mortal Realms. Exiled from his people for the crime of loving a human woman, Maesa's woes were compacted by bereavement—for human lives are but brief sparks compared to those of the aelves. Ever since his beloved Ellamar's death, Maesa has quested tirelessly in search of a means to return her to his arms. Now, accompanied by his spite companion Shattercap, Maesa nears the end of his quest—single-mindedly daring the deserts of Shyish, the fury of slumbering demigods, and the wrath of daemons to revive his true love.

It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

In the beginning there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness - and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death bringer. These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn't until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari.

A great story made better aloud!
Prior to listening to Veil of the Dragon; I had already read Veil of the Dragon for the Kindle, so having enjoyed the written kindle edition, I decided to give the audiobook a listen.
This audiobook came alive for me in a way the author's written words could not achieve for me. I began to visualize the Evarun series like never before. I became enthralled as the story unfolded in a series of thoughtful lines, eloquently spoken by the narrator.
Before long, I began to read those lines along with the narrator, and I saw Tom Barczak's genius like never before, and became a fan. I highly recommend this great story made better aloud through the spoken word.

Veil of the Dragon sings a lyric song of discovery
What made the experience of listening to Veil of the Dragon the most enjoyable?
This story is sensitively written but full of pathos, adventure and risk. The narrator, Neil Hellegers, never overdoes the narration or voices the lines so that they feel staged, or even recited; rather, you feel as if the voice and the story are one.
What did you like best about this story?
I love Barczak's writing. Here he pairs his unique vision and almost poetical gift for description with a plot that shows both to best advantage. He is a father, an architect, an artist and writer, and all of these other skills and experiences enrich his storytelling. The death of Chaelus, Roan Lord of the House of Malius, dies a the beginning of the tale, overcome by the Dragon's Sleep, only to be snatched away from death by the hand of a young boy.Resurrected or redeemed, Chaelus sets out on a quest to divine his own nature. As in all books worth reading, this one makes a point. This point is about faith and trust in an adventure where nothing is as it seems, and the mystery of the Dragon can only be found of Chalus can overcome his fears.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene where the boy saves Chaelus is my first favorite scene: it shows that gentility with which Barczak can create a thoroughly harrowing scene, taming us, making us fall in train with his vision right from the outset.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I tried to listen in one sitting, but the book is more than seven hours long. I listened over two days.
Any additional comments?
Meet your own inner dragon while reading Veil of the Dragon.
