The Wearle

The Erth Dragons, Book 1

By: Chris d'Lacey

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

Master storyteller and NYT best-selling author Chris d'Lacey has woven a brand-new epic fantasy with the story of the first dragons sent to Erth and how their fates became entwined with humankind's.

A Wearle of dragons set out on an expedition from their home planet and was never heard from again. Now a new Wearle, determined to find the first, has come to the place its creatures call Erth. Gabrial, who still has the blue scales of a young dragon, is eager to prove himself and to find his missing father. But when Gabrial causes an accident that results in a baby dragon going missing, he'll have to prove himself worthy of remaining with the Wearle at all.

Across the scorch line, most Hom, or humans, live in fear of the dragons. But a boy named Ren is too fascinated to stay away and will soon find his fate intertwined with that of the dragons. When conflict erupts between the dragons and humankind, Ren does the unimaginable, crossing into dragon territory. Will he be able to gain the dragons' trust and prevent an all-out war?

NYT best seller Chris d'Lacey sweeps listeners off on an extraordinary adventure bursting with majestic creatures and one boy with the heart of a dragon.

Not for the faint of heart

I groaned at first when the book starts with a long list of characters, foretelling a difficult listening. I listened twice. Despite arrogant stupidity among those in charge, dragons are saved by a human boy. This is NOT “How to Train your Dragon”. Lots of death. On to the next book.

A fun simple read

It's a beautiful little romp. written simply but not stupidly. Ive long been a fan of DLacey and his stories hold up well to any listen.

Great performance

Big shout out to the narrator on bringing the dragons to life. the story itself is worth your time with a turn here and there

Fascinating

I love Chris D’ Lacey’s work. I’m still working on reading his The Last Dragon Series. But jumped right into this and loved it! The character development, the clashes between dragons and the Hom and the dark eyes!! Just wonderful. I truly enjoyed this and look forward to reading the next book!

Not bad

It's fine and like it's kinda of exciting I guess but sometime I'm just gets a little boring but it's a good book

Well written fun adventure

This was a fun adventure to listen along to. If you love dragons and bravery this is the series for you! On to book two!

How is this author on the bestseller list?

Convoluted storyline, bare bones descriptions of characters, and did you really just call your horses 'whinnies'?
