Soul-bonding with the dragon, Holt gains access to its magical core. Only through training and perseverance can he cultivate its power to stand a chance in the battles to come. For the riders are preparing for war. Undead horrors are rising across the land. Kings and riders alike die in their strongholds. Order is crumbling. And Holt faces a terrible decision. To do what is expected and maintain order, or do what he knows to be right and cause only chaos?

Dragons ☑️ Adventure ☑️ It had a similar feel to Eragon (which I really like), but still a unique storyline.

As a commoner, Holt will never qualify to join the order and fly a dragon. So he steals an egg that would have been destroyed because of a suspected weakness in the developing baby. Then Ash is born blind. Together Holt and Ash learn to overcome the assumptions others make about them.

I enjoyed the epic adventure feel of it all. ⬇️

Zuhkeeyah I struggled with the idea that Ash and Holt call each other “boy”. To my mind, it‘s a term used when speaking down to someone. I know the author was trying to write in an American accent instead of his native British, but I feel like an editor should have adjusted this. 2y
