About this listen
From the author of The Dragon’s Blade Trilogy and the narrator of The Witcher series, comes the start of a new dragon rider epic combining the best of Eragon and Pern with the hard magic of Brandon Sanderson and Will Wight.
Holt Cook was never meant to be a dragon rider. He has always served the Order Hall of the Crag dutifully, keeping their kitchen pots clean.
Until he discovers a dark secret: dragons do not tolerate weakness among their kin, killing the young they deem flawed. Moved by pity, Holt defies the Order, rescues a doomed egg and vows to protect the blind dragon within.
But the Scourge is rising. Undead hordes roam the land, spreading the blight and leaving destruction in their wake. The dragon riders are being slaughtered and betrayal lurks in the shadows.
Holt has one chance to survive. He must cultivate the mysterious power of his dragon's magical core. A unique energy which may tip the balance in the battles to come, and prove to the world that a servant is worthy after all.

Brilliant book
Came here after listening to, and finishing the Eragon trilogy. This ended up being just as good, if not better. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable adventure to take you back to childhood
There were parts that reminded me of the pern novels and clearly the writer was inspired by eragon also. I really liked the main dragon character ash. Being judged by the other dragons for being different and having a disability was an interesting twist.

Takes a few chapters to get going but enjoyable to relax to
Takes a little while to get into but once it gets going is a great listen to relax to. Has a lot of similarities to other dragon rider books and one series in particular, hoping for a little more variation from the traditional in the sequels. Overall a very enjoyable book, I do listen at 1.15 as reader can be a little slow at times

A fantasy adventure I’ve been waiting for
A truly amazing story with depth and wonder. I was hesitant on trying a new fantasy author but I have never been more pleasantly surprised
