About this listen
Only one can end the war.
He stands between two worlds, a savior and a destroyer to both. Dragons and aegres will fall. But one can turn the tide.
One who stands in the shadow of kings. Such has been seen by the doomed. The weight of ten thousand lives and all the realm besides now sits on Joran's shoulders. So much has already been sacrificed to bring him to the ancient doors of Drakanan, where he might take on the mantle of Dragon Rider and usher in a new age of heroes.
But a time of dragons is not all that has been seen…
The days are shadowed by the approaching night. The war to devour all wars has come again. He who lies entombed in the dark will rise and the fires with him. Death cannot hold him.
The Skaramangians hold to this, their fingers pulling the strings of war to hide their dark deeds. In past and present, they work towards a future that will reset the world. Evil will be made manifest in that world, and there remains no power in all of Verda capable of preventing it.
And so the few, those who would be heroes, must take the road to madness if they are to prepare for the inevitable war. It is not a road they can all survive…

fantastic
another cracker from Philip. one of the best writers around at the moment. every one of his books is a non stop page turner. Stephen Brand does another top job with the narration. now for the wait for book 3.

Another spell binding listen
Another great story following the dragons and their riders. This time we get a preview of how the dragons and their riders came to be.
Slightly confusing as each chapter skips a time period either 40 years go or the present time for this book. (this happens to be a sort of prequel to the original series of dragon riders). It shouldnt however detect from the enjoyment of the story too much for listeners.

Just couldn’t engage with the 2nd book
Have no idea what has happened enjoyed the 1st book thought it was a good bit of world and character building! Couldn’t wait for the next book but have preserved through it thinking it would take hold of me but never occurred to me. Hopefully it’s just me !
