Summary
BuzzFeed Greatest Fantasy Book of the Year author
In his magnificent, heroic adventure fantasy, Dragonslayer, Duncan M. Hamilton debuts the first audiobook in a fast-moving trilogy: a dangerous tale of lost magics, unlikely heroes, and reawakened dragons.
Once a member of the king's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevauvais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child. He’s astonished - and wary - when the Prince Bishop orders him to find and destroy a dragon. He and the Prince Bishop have never exactly been friends, and Gill left the capital in disgrace five years ago. So why him? And, more importantly, how is there a dragon to fight when the beasts were hunted to extinction centuries ago by the ancient Chevaliers of the Silver Circle?
On the way to the capitol city, Gill rescues Solène, a young barmaid, who is about to be burned as a witch. He believes her innocent...but she soon proves that she has plenty of raw, untrained power, a problem in this land, where magic is forbidden. Yet the Prince Bishop believes magic will be the key to both destroying the dragon and replacing the young, untried king he pretends to serve with a more pliable figurehead.
Between Gill’s rusty swordsmanship and Solene’s unstable magic, what could go wrong?

I love this book.
I've been struggling to find a good book recently and I've returned a few so decided to try looking at books from narrator's I know I really enjoy and discovered this little beauty narrated by Simon Vance. I love books about dragons and all 3 books have the most amazing cover artwork and excellent reviews so made sense to give it a go. and I loved it. I've already downloaded books 2 and 3 for seamless listening of entire trilogy. will definitely be buying more books by Duncan M. Hamilton.

Superb
this is the forth series I've read from this author and I'm amazed at how he continues to bring to life such great characters! the narrator is awesome as always.... only 2 books left and I've completed all his books within 6 weeks! that's the only downside with great authors and books.

Dragons never fail..
.. To entertain!. Good book. Great characters. Not the most original taking different ideas from well worn tropes, but well written and fun. Simon Vance, as always, is fantastic.

Brilliant Story in true Hamilton Fashion
Having listened to other stories by Duncan I was keen to see if the quality would continue. Certainly not disappointed- that said it felt at times that the stitching together of audio had been quite hastily done and removed the natural flow of speech when reading.
Despite this, I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend as a starter for what could be a great series.
