Dragon Tongue

Rise of the Dragon Riders, Book 1

By: Ava Richardson

Narrated by: Amy Hall

A legend from the past is a kingdom's only hope....

Cora knows her grandmother's stories of the noble dragon riders by heart, even though most people consider them just a myth. But for Cora, the legends are a pleasant distraction from her concern for her ailing father and the enormous debt they owe to the king's garrison.

Desperate to help her father, Cora becomes a scale scavenger, risking life and limb by entering the territory of the deadly, feral dragons to gather the highly valuable scales. But her first attempt nearly ends in tragedy when she’s trapped by an angry dragon. They are both stunned when she unlocks the secret of communicating with him.

As Cora and the dragon, Alaric, grow closer, they uncover more secrets from the kingdom’s past. There was a dark conclusion to the dragon rider legacy, brought about by a malicious force that sought power at any cost. That force still holds the kingdom in thrall—and has no intention of allowing the dragon riders to rise again.

Can Cora and Alaric reignite a legend from the past, before it’s too late?

Loved it! It was a fun twist to the dragon tails! I enjoyed it greatly.

great start to the series

This book was a great start to this dragon rider series. the heroine is well written and I like to hear her thoughts and history as to why she reacts to situations the way she does. The narrator did a great job voicing all the characters.

Forgotten history mystery

If you like forgotten history mysteries, dragon riders, outcast overcoming, and forbidden magic you will enjoy it.

Loved it

Received free and enjoyed every moment of this story. The idea that humans and dragons could be a bonded pair, talk to each other and be mutually beneficial. Hoping there is a second book I can purchase to hear more.

Nice story

Good story, likeable MC. Side characters are a bit flat but seeing as the MC kept to herself that might have been intentional. Overall it was a good story but nothing particularly captivating. I'd still consider listening to the second one to see if it picks up.

GREAT STORY. OOVED IT. WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

ACCEPTABLE FOR PRE-TEENS AND UP. MOSTLY CLEAN.

NARRATOR ARE GREAT, WELL SPOKEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Very cute middle grade story

I did get a copy of this book for free.

Very sweet story about a girl and her bonded dragon. A story about friendship and family.

For parents: there is some death and mention of ale but no drunkenness, romance, or assault.

The reading was a bit slow for me, but probably a good pace for a young listener. A nice story to listen to together.

More of a Preteen Read

The main character comes across quite nieve and trusting that everything will work out fine. Which is more of a preteen additude then a Young adults, also MC comes across as quite young. This is a fairly good story and I will read the next book in the series. Narrator does a good job with the characters and Storyline.
