After the bitter war they have just come through, the young dragon rider Pieter is having a difficult time adjusting. His dragon, Gloriox, will do whatever possible to help him heal, but it seems things just won’t settle down. When they travel to Chamenos, they discover that the troubles have already begun. Gloriox’s niece has been captured, and all of the other dragons are gone. Now the search is on to find Gloriox’s niece. They will have to face the tyrant king’s dark magic and this time Pieter may be the only one who can stop him. Is Pieter ready for another battle? Will his weak magic strengthen to meet the challenge?
I just love dragon stories! Gloriox has quite a personality and, of course, he is my favorite. The narrator for the audiobook version is Amelia Hugh. She does an excellent job with the voices to make it easy for the listener to get an accurate idea of what each character is like and to feel the tension of the storm raging around them and the difficulties they encounter. It helps to set the mood and is an enjoyable, hands-free way to “read” the exciting book.
