Publisher's Summary

The world is falling to the burning shadow of the Possessed and only the power of a battle mage can save it. But the ancient bond with dragonkind is failing. Of those that answer a summoning too many are black. Black dragons are the enemy of humankind. Black dragons are mad.

Falco Dante is a weakling in a world of warriors, but worse than this, he is the son of a madman. Driven by grief, Falco makes a decision that will drive him to the brink of despair. As he tries to come to terms with his actions Falco follows his friends to the Academy of War, an elite training school dedicated to martial excellence. But while his friends make progress he struggles to overcome his doubts and insecurity. Even Queen Catherine of Wrath has her doubts about Falco's training.

While the Queen tries to unite the Kingdoms against the Possessed, Falco struggles to overcome his fears. Will he unlock the power trapped inside him or will he succumb to madness and murder like his father?

editing

Good story, editing is the only downfall. I enjoyed the performance pity there is no more books.

Enthralling

Little slow to start, but once you’re into it, you can’t put this down. I found an emotional rollercoaster. Very enjoyable.

Grim Dark Dragons

Slow start, but builds up the world and characters well to a satisfying conclusion. This is a dark fantasy world where humanity is losing a war against hell. A great one shot in a world full of epic high fantasy trilogies.

zero to hero

A story about a sick and weakly boy that over came the odds and became the hero that no one but his best friend thought that he could be.
I laughed, cried and cheered for joy countless times.
the book doesn't just follow the story of the main character but of the side characters and their adventures which helps to futher immerse you in the world and allows you to experience the story from multiple perspectives.
i can't wait to listen to this epic again!!

Fantastic Book!

No matter how many times I have listened to it, I'm always keen to listen to it again. The characters are quite vivid and the story very appealing. It is also in one volume, so you aren't left hanging to see what happens. The narrators performance is also pretty awesome, I have found there are some narrators that you have to listen to for a while before you get into listening to them, not the case this time. Would recommend this book to any who like a good story, any fans of David Eddings, David Gemmel, Robin Hobb, Robert Jordan etc, should enjoy it!

Great story. Just ignore some audio editing

The story is a great story. Charged with emotion and well told hero coming of age and overcoming adversity.

Some audio glitches but not enough to make you want to stop listening
