The Dragon King's Egg

Charassi's Fae Queen, Book 4

De: Ava Richardson

Narrado por: Mago Weston

A new hope for dragons. A new danger for the world…

Ophelia, High Queen of the Fae, is ecstatic when Sunny, her bonded dragon, announces that he and his mate are expecting a new egg. After all their trials and tribulations, a dragonling is more than welcome in the realm of Charassi…until a prophecy reveals that the new hatchling may bring about the end of the world.

Other dragons demand that the egg be destroyed. And some within the fae kingdom agree, including a mysterious sect determined to capture the egg at any cost. When they succeed, Ophelia will do anything to get it back. Even if it means putting her safety on the line by infiltrating the Wild Hunt.

But Ophelia’s fierce determination puts her at odds with her co-ruler, King Corrin. And their relationship is not the only thing showing cracks. A sinister power is rising that threatens to tear a rift in magic itself. With enemies and disaster looming on all sides, can Ophelia protect both her friends and her kingdom, before it’s too late?

Pivoting to New Problems

Book 4 in this series takes a dramatic turn away from the previous three books. The last book ended when the evil queen (mother of the hero) was vanquished in an epic battle. In this book, the hero, heroine, and their supporters are facing two challenges: first, dramatic and disastrous natural events seemingly caused by a specific celestial alignment, and secondly, the dragon couple (the dragons of the high king and queen of the fae, the hero and heroine), finally brought together at the end of the last book, has gotten horrible news about their beloved egg. Are all these things connected? What, precisely, does the dire prophecy for the dragon's egg mean? A band of fae wants this egg so they can keep it from hatching, hoping to prevent more bad things from coming to the realm. Do they get it? Will that be the case? We're left hanging about most of these questions at the book’s end.

The hero and heroine, who'd been so well aligned before, also have a more personal struggle. He's trying to deal with the natural phenomena while she's helping the dragons with the egg. They're spending much time apart, and when they come together, they're both feeling the pressure of what's going on and don't feel like the other is being supportive. They’re often at cross-purposes, neither understanding the full situation from the other’s perspective. The dragon king and his lady are amazing in this book! They are just so sweet together and clearly care so much for their little egg that is causing so many problems (and potential problems). You could feel their devastation when they learned that their child was foretold in the ancient, terrible prophecy. The author did a great job showing that they're not just dragons, him a bit grumpy normally anyway, but hurting potential parents who already care about their would-be child. Very empathetic!

I'm really enjoying this series, and unlike others I've listened to by this author, I don't have the complete set as a single audiobook. I'm very much looking forward to listening to the next one. An excellent series by a fantastic author. I certainly recommend this book, but you definitely need to start with the first book of the series so you will understand everything better. The author actually does a pretty decent job catching you up, but you will have a deeper appreciation and care more about the characters and creatures if you listen to this series from the beginning. Highly recommended.

Doesn’t disappoint

Love this series. Sunny and River are so excited that they have an egg until they take the egg to the scorched lands to get the name. What a fast paced exciting listen. Love the characters and story line. Hard to stop listening. You can’t go wrong with this series. Highly recommend.

Still Going Strong

This series keeps the suspense and excitement going throughout. Book 4 continues to be enjoyable, leaving you interested in what comes next. Mago Weston's narration is solid and does a good job of bringing the story to life, with no issues to mention.

Adventure fantasy

The dragon King’s egg is the fourth book in the series or the second if you have Charassi’s Fae Queen 1-3. Ava Richardson and Mago Weston did an excellent job on this book well. The drama and adventure is very well done. It’s entertaining, engaging, enjoyable, interesting and fun. The story was given to me free for an honest review.

Another Great Addition to the Series

This was another great addition to the series. The characters and story line were well written and kept me entertained.

Mago Weston was able to breathe life into this story and made it a fun listen.
