Publisher's summary

In the mystical place between the world of magic and the domain of dragons, a young spell caster finds himself poised for an extraordinary destiny. Bound by an ancient and powerful connection forged from the very life essence of a dragon, he embarks on a quest that will mark the beginning of a destiny long foretold.

Within the fragile balance of the dragon realm, a dire threat looms, threatening the very existence of these majestic creatures. Their only hope rests upon the shoulders of this unlikely hero, tasked with the retrieval of a priceless artifact, the key to preserving the Dragon World.

A malevolent young king, driven by greedy ambitions, has stolen this invaluable treasure for his own dark designs. With it, he seeks dominion over all magical realms, vying to ascend as the ultimate ruler. Guided by Nilrem, a wise and ancient dragon, the young spell caster embarks on a journey to the distant realms' outermost reaches. Their mission: thwart the king's sinister plans before the very barriers separating the realms crumble, shrouding the land in eternal darkness.

Prepare for an epic odyssey where destinies entwine, magic collides, and the fate of worlds hangs in the balance. In a race against time, the young spell caster and his draconian mentor must confront the darkness and defend the realms from impending doom, forging a bond that will determine the destiny of both magic and dragons.

AudioShelf welcomes Dragons

We thoroughly enjoyed this short novella. We were enthralled with the story and plot. We think everyone should try this book out because the last word in this book will throw you for a loop--in a good way!! Geraldine Allie is a terrific writer!! Can't wait to listen to the rest in this series!

The story was very bland, very predictable and didn't even try to be original.

I was super excited based on the title and description and there was so much potential but it fell flat. I was not impressed at all. At least the narrator wasn't terrible or I would have quit listening. Boring!

I received this book free in return for an unbiased review.

Rather short but exceptionally clever, more than enough to keep you happy, this is an amazing book. Filled with magic and dragons. A young spell caster saves a dragon, he is then chosen to be their ally. This book does not take it's self to seriously but in a good way. This book has me looking forward to diving in the the rest of the series.

I love this story! I usually don't leave reviews for my daughter's books - I just screen them before she listens but this was a great little twisted tale!

Great short story

This book is a fantastic and magical prequel to a classic tale. I really enjoyed the learning about how the spell castor came into his position of power and to be know as Merlin. I was also really entertained by the interactions between the spell castor and the dragons. The story was adventurous with a bit of humor thrown in.
The narrator did an amazing job especially with the voices of the dragons. This was a great production of a short story.
