About this listen

Everyone knows dragons have been extinct for over 1,000 years.

Everyone is wrong.

At least one dragon remains, and military scientists from the Cofah Empire are experimenting with its blood, using the magical substance to power deadly new weapons that could be used to bring the world to its knees. That's a concern for Zirkander, Cas, and the rest of the Iskandians, but all Tolemek wants is to find his missing sister. The last time he saw her, their father had locked her in an asylum because of a mental illness with no cure. Now the military has taken her. What use the Cofah have for her, Tolemek can only guess, but he is certain she is in danger. He must save her before it's too late. But her fate is inexplicably tied to the dragon's, and he must find it to find her.

Engaging story filled with action and guessing what is going to happen next.
Performance was supurb, using different voices for the different characters. However sometimes the tonality didn't match the flow. Other times it was clear that the narrator had taken a break and then restarted with a voice not matching what preceded.
Though these are very minor feedback and actually this has been the best narration of any audio book with multiple characters. Outstanding job.

Engaging story!

I really love this series. It’s so different to everything else around and constantly keeps me guessing as to what will happen next. The characters are fresh and engaging and make me want to learn more about them. I also love the balance between the male and female heroes. I’m off to the next book in the series now, will you join me?

I have enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first three. Performance was great as in previous books, but the story line was not as great. I kept listening as I liked the characters and the world.

The group from the 3rd book follow the clues to find a lost sister and the source of the Dragon's blood.
off course, there is drama and fighting, and magic. All that keeps the listener on the edge of their seats.
I do enjoy the narrator's reading style for these books. It absolutely adds that sparkle to the stories.

Oh Wow!! A hibernating dagon.
