Dragon's Oath

A House of Night Novella

De: P. C. Cast, Kristin Cast

Narrado por: Caitlin Davies

The first in an enthralling new mini-series of novellas from the number-one best-selling authors of the House of Night, Dragon’s Oath tells the story behind the House of Night’s formidable fencing instructor – the love that will transform him, and the promise that will haunt him.

In early 19th-century England, long before he’s a professor at the Tulsa House of Night, Bryan Lankford is a troublesome yet talented human teen who thinks he can get away with anything… until his father, a wealthy nobleman, has finally had enough, and banishes him to America. When Bryan is Marked on the docks and given the choice between the London House of Night and the dragon-prowed ship to America, he chooses the Dragon - and a brand new fate.

Becoming a Fledgling may be exciting, but it opens a door to a dangerous world.... In 1830's St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, Dragon Lankford becomes a Sword Master, and soon realizes there are both frightening challenges and beautiful perks - like Anastasia, the captivating young Professor of Spells and Rituals at the Tower Grove House of Night, who really should have nothing to do with a fledgling. But when a dark power threatens, Dragon is caught in its focus. Though his uncanny fighting skills make him a powerful fledgling, is he strong enough to ward off evil, while protecting Anastasia as well? Will his choices save her - or destroy them all?

Great

This was a great book. I loved hearing stories about other characters in the story. It feels like your getting the inside scoop.

I’m Disappointed in 🐲

House of Night Novellas #1; House of Night #8.5

This story takes place in the few minutes following the funeral scene in AWAKENED. It’s mostly written as a flashback to when 🐲 and Anastasia first started to get together. It was sweet and gave us HoN readers more insight into who their characters are and what they’re about. I like 🐲 but his response to Nix’s reminder to “Hold to his oath” in AWAKENED bothered me. After reading/listening to this “bothered” has shifted into my feeling straight out disappointment at 🐲’s choices. I understand that we all respond to grief differently however he’s majorly screwing up.

This was a great addition to the HoN world. I’ll happily buy more of these novellas so I can learn more about the secondary characters in the series. What a great concept the Cast duo came up with when they thought of the idea.

Caitlin Davies did an exceptional job with the narration. She easily draws the listener into the story. She’s a wonderful performer.

Love it

Thank god there was no more deaths. I loved the ending and there was no emotional damage in this book.

Listen to or read after book 8!

I felt like it was a great back story about not only Dragon but Anastasia as well! It really helped me build the characters in my mind better. Only suggestion is to listen or read it after book 8, that’s where it really stems from! I do really like Caitlin Davies but do wish for this book they could have had a male reading it but none the less it was still well done!

Great Short

I love this back story. I love hearing about how thing began for the two teachers.

Not a happy ending

Would you consider the audio edition of Dragon's Oath to be better than the print version?

yes - for me, Audio is easier for me since I drive hours each day and listen while I drive. It feels like a have a

Would you be willing to try another book from P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast ? Why or why not?

yes, My daughter is into the house of night and talks about them alot. I also enjoy their books.

Which character ??? as performed by Caitlin Davies ??? was your favorite?

Did not really have a favorite

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no - but I did listen to it all in one day

I really love this book

I really loved the person that read this I love the fact of that he gave dragon the exit or if he had A accent I loved that fact

Great Insight on the Character

This book provided much insight into how Dragon Lankford came to be and the authors told his story quite beautifically. My only criticism is that I wanted more back stories on all of the professors in the series. Which isn't a criticism at all but a compliment to the authors. And a hint for more novellas...

Great book but

Its a great book but should have been set between books 8 & 9 instead of being marked as 9.1 as that is incorrect as the story goes between books 8 & 9.

Great Story Good Performance

I loved this story. Dragon Lankford was a character to me that really could have used more character building in the House of Night. This book fulfill this and really lets you know about him, his love, and how he became the man he was. However I do wish a man would have read his part but overall I did like the performance.
