About this item

Dive into a dragon filled adventure! When scruffy Seb and noble Thea are paired as dragon riders, they never imagined they'd be the Kingdom's last hope.

High-born Agathea Flamma intends to bring honor to her family by following in her brothers' footsteps and taking her rightful place as a Dragon Rider. With her only other option being marriage, Thea will not accept failure. She's not thrilled at her awkward, scruffy partner, Seb, but their dragon has chosen, and now the unlikely duo must learn to work as a team.

Seventeen-year-old Sebastian has long been ashamed of his drunken father and poor upbringing, but then he's chosen to train as a Dragon Rider at the prestigious academy. Thrust into a world where he doesn't fit in, Seb finds a connection with his dragon that is even more powerful than he imagined. Soon, he's doing all he can to succeed and not embarrass his new partner, Thea.

When Seb hears rumors that an old danger is reemerging, he and Thea begin to investigate. Armed only with their determination and the dragon they both ride, Thea and Seb may be the only defense against the Darkening that threatens to sweep the land. Together, they will have to learn to work together to save their kingdom or die trying.

The unlikely duo forged an unbreakable bond, but now with dark stirrings in the south their bond will be put to the ultimate test.

Seb discovers Lord Vincent has returned and he wants to unleash an ancient evil that will destroy the lives of everyone in the kingdom; The Darkening. In order to defend the realm against unspeakable foes, Seb, Thea, and their shared dragon, Kalax, set out on an arduous journey.

When Seb and Thea are chosen by a dragon, they are both determined to become dragon riders. They will both incur lots of obstacles and will be tested to the max. They realize the Darkening has returned and the devastation it is causing. They need to help find the dragon stones and prevent more harm from coming to the villages. Seb and Thea go out on their own without permission but not without grave consequences. They each are learning they need to work together to accomplish what needs to be done. Seb and Thea continue to encounter more challenges in trying to figure out where the dragon stones are and who is taking the memories from the dragon riders and their dragons. Seb dragon affinity is getting stronger, and things are starting to happen to him. Thea knows something has changed within her since they used the healing stone on her. Lots of unpredictable moments. The Darkening has returned, and Lord Vincent wants to recover the Dragon Stone and become all-powerful, and rule all the lands. Seb and Thea and their companions come together to go in search of the Dargon Stone, but they do not realize the power that it has. Allies will be gained but friends will be lost. Great trilogy and a real page-turner.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Story

The three books in this set are a fast paced adventure. The story is interesting and the characters are acceptably developed. However, the author has problems has problems with time. Reading along thinking a few story days have passed and the author indicates that almost a year has elapsed. Despite the problems with time, I recommend this book.

The power of family and love. Family is not always a birth family. Great characters. Fun storytelling. A good read for those, who like adventure.

This is the story of Thea and Seb, teenagers chosen to be dragon riders. Thea, as the daughter of a noble, was expected to marry and have children. She had always wanted to be a dragon rider but girls were hardly ever chosen. Seb, the son of a blacksmith with a sever drinking problem, loved dragons and always dreamed of becoming a dragon rider. Being from the poorest part of the city, he thought this was an impossible dream, until one day a beautiful red dragon chooses him as one of her riders.
Faced with impossible odds, they are tasked with finding the dragon stones before Lord Vincent and destroying the darkening before it can destroy the kingdom and everyone in it. Can they do it, find the stones and destroy the darkening? Only time will tell.

The world of dragons was created among humans and like many worlds there were the ones who desired power and control despite the damages to society. Then came magic and with it came once again those wanting to control the world but created evil instead. It takes great power of light to overcome the darkness of evil. Greatbread
