The Dragon Gate

The Dragon Gate Series, Book 1

By: Randy Ellefson

Narrated by: Brad Derry

He swore an oath to protect all life. Now he must kill to survive. Being a knight at the Renaissance Festival is easy, but when Ryan is magically kidnapped to another world, the quest might leave him dead. Mistaken for a dragon-slaying knight, he must kill the dragon queen to be sent home.

At least he is not alone. Three of his friends are kidnapped beside him, all of them mistaken for the Ellorian Champions. The real heroes have been missing for years, but they may hold the key to keeping everyone alive.

Good story and performance

The plot and theme are variations on the popular modern kids transport to fantasy magical world and saves the day. The story is well written. However, I was lost a few times probably because I wasn’t tracking the character names. Performance added to the story.

Good plot

Pretty good plot, fun characters. There is growth within the characters. Kind of nice that they aren’t totally flat. Definitely an enjoyable lesson.

Intriguing characters and a compelling plot!

I loved this

This was a forgotten gem from my library. A new author for me & I was pleasantly surprised. This has Wandering Inn vibes so I was instantly hooked. The prospect of being transported to another realm in the blink of an eye always intrigues me.
We start out with 4 friends, Eric, Ryan, Anna, and Matt. The group was looking for Anna's necklace that she lost. It was given to her by her mother and it had strange words on it that nobody could read but nonetheless it was important to her. In the blink of an eye, they were suddenly somewhere else and being called Hero's called The Ellorian Champions They became four different people

A reluctant knight in shining armor with brother issues
An eager wizard wannabe with a glowing staff
A healer with serious faith issues
And last but not forgotten a rogue/jack-of-many-trades,

They are given a quest by the Queen to close the Dragon Gate and get the dragons back through the Gate before closing it. They had no idea what they were doing and were quite scared. Not sure if they will triumph or not they risk their lives because that’s the only way for them to get home and they know danger awaits them. They must find courage or be trapped here.This was a forgotten gem from my library. A new author for me & I was pleasantly surprised. This has Wandering Inn vibes so I was instantly hooked.
