About this listen

Seventy-five years ago, the dragons fell from the sky. We thought they were just meteorites—six terrifying explosions rang the world like a bell. When the dust settled, we went on with our lives as though nothing had happened.

More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small and weak. They kept to the shadows, working in secret to persuade people to do their bidding, offering magic as payment and reward. Years passed...and still we didn't notice the evil growing in our midst.

The war began suddenly. Survivors called it the "apocalypse"—nine billion people killed in an afternoon. Then the dragons revealed themselves, burning huge swaths of what remained, taunting and mocking and murdering the survivors.

Four leaders arose: the Wizard, the Dragon Rider, the Monk, and the Dragon Slayer. Allied with the rebel dragon, they waged war for years until they, too, were defeated, scattered, or killed.

When the war ended, only one dragon remained...but that single dragon was enough to plunge the world into tyranny.

I find Derek Perkins’ voice very easy to listen to, a real pleasure. However, this story jumped about a bit and therefore didn’t flow as well as others of David A Wells.
So, ok but not my favourite

Enjoyed………. but

Although having read and loved all the other books written by David A Wells, I put off reading or listening to this series because, in my mind, dragons aren't meant to be evil. I was mistaken; once I started listening, I couldn't stop and finished the trilogy in less than a week. It has great character-building, with the plot being fast-paced. Derek Perkins is an excellent narrator.

Excellent Story
