About this listen

This academy’s about to go up in flames.

I’m Sorcha McMurphy. I thought magic didn’t exist until I found a stolen dragon hatchling and got a letter of acceptance to a supernatural school for dragon riders.

I’m literally flown away to a college that teaches sword fighting, magic casting, and general ass-kicking. Here, the dragon clans are at war, and there’s an evil that threatens to destroy the riders forever.

They think I’m the chosen one destined to save the clans, but I’m no hero. If only I could stop myself from loving the cursed guy in my dragon keeping class long enough to save the world.

Dragon Academy is a magic academy YA/NA paranormal fantasy novel. Contains one strong heroine, one smoking-hot book boyfriend, and a plethora of dragons you won’t be able to get enough of! Eragon meets Harry Potter in this fiery fantasy series.

Fulfill your destiny - buy the audiobook to begin the adventure!

Definitely one for young teens

So many inclusions of memorable things from other stories. If you have not read many fantasy books then this will be good.

Narration was a performance, I found this annoying as I wanted the book read to me not acted out. Listening through headphones you really notice someone talking loudly then quiet and it's hard to know who to adjust the setting for. Some lines were repeated and you could hear other things picked up by the recording machine.

Beautifully written

The dragons are so beautifully written I could picture them clearly in my head. This is such a gripping story I couldn't stop listening until the end. The narration is brilliantly done. I can't wait to listen to the next book.

An Exciting Read,Focused On Friendship & Bonds!😍

Dragon Academy: Dragon Riders Academy, Book 1
Audiobook – Unabridged 🎧
A.K. Thorne (Author)
Kim Reiko (Narrator)
Gryfyn Publishing (Publisher)

Sorcha is living with vile, abusive Foster Parents because of being in a car accident that cost her her real Parents & all of her memories!!💔😭 She's desperately squirrelling away all the money she earns at her coffee shop job to attend Nursing School, she can't wait to get away from the spiteful & neglectful couple! While at work with the owner & her one true friend, she goes into the basement to get napkins & finds the most bazaar thing - A baby Dragon!🐉😍 She thinks she's losing her mind.😵 He's so cute though & she feels such an instant bond with him, he snuggles into her arms & licks her face like he loves her already!😍🙏💜

Over the next couple of days her life changes drastically. She helps heal someone that would've died from a brutal murder. Then she receives a letter telling her she's expected to start at 'Dracon Academy' with her Dragon, in a couple of days, to start her training as a Dragon Rider!!😱 It doesn't have any other information though so she still plans to go to Nursing School, that is until a huge, raging storm rolls in. She's been staying at her bosses apartment when she hears a crash downstairs & goes to investigate, she's attacked!😳😡 They throw the bag she's got Toryn, her Dragon, hidden in across the room, grab her hair & smack her in the face!😳 Its her Foster Parents 😟😥 They're mad because she hasn't been home & her housework is piling up, like she's their darn slave or something!!😡 When she fights back the beating gets out of hand, the door crashes open & her boss screams at them - Get your hands off of my sister!!😱 Aisling gets them out of there & takes her to small cottage, grabs her hand & tells her not to let go then drags her with Toryn in to a painting.🙈💥

On emerging she finally fills Sorcha in. They're not from Earth, they're from a Dragon Rider Clan & an Evil Rider is after Sorcha. It's believed she's the prophesied return of the great Mother Of All Dragon's who is the only one who can save them from the greatest evil they'll ever face - the guy who wants her dead!!😱😵💥 She left their world for their protection & hers and insisted they wipe her memories so she couldn't risk them, now it's time for her to return & train so she can beat the bad guys & oh yeah, her Parents might still be alive!🙏💕 It seems too incredible & too much.

From stepping into the pool that shows your power, at the Academy, everyone knows who is. She's watched, talked about & judged!😕 Nothing is really what she thought it would be.

This is a lively, often fun and fast paced read. I thought the Narrator did a good job, she kept it interesting & had a good variation of character voices.👍 I found Sorcha a bit annoying at times. Oliver & Ember were interesting, he was especially intriguing!😍 Above all I adored the Dragon's!💙💖✨
Definitely worth a read/listen!🎧 A 4.25 Star Read🌟

Definitely NA - good academy-style book

Due to the language which was fine for me - I would say this is a good NA paranormal romance for dragons and riders alike. Sorcha and Oliver's story leads a trail of breadcrumbs to book 2 which I confident you will be curious enough to pursue. Narration was mostly fine.
