A Tale of Heroes, Omnibus edition
Book 1: Of Children and Dragons
DeFrantis is a young human girl living on the streets, trying to eke out a living in the sprawling city, and she has problems. First, after a botched attempt to steal a chicken, she’s on the run. Second, for some reason, someone other than the City Guard is trying to hunt her down. Finally, the poor kids she was trying to feed got sold off to slavers. She has to save them, but first, she has to find them!
Along the way, she gets help from Antonerri, a soldier turned heretic - Thissraelle, an elven mage girl; Granthurg, the studious giant; and Karendle, a half-dwarf wizard wannabe
Book 2: Of Wizards and Dragons
Thissraelle is a high elf but she’s lived among the humans of Twynne Rivers her whole life. She ran from her home in the Wizard’s Guild Hall so she could find her heritage in the elvish city of Emberfire. But now an old saint is visiting her dreams and telling her to go find someone he called Heathrax, her friends want to go back to Twynne Rivers, and her father, the Guildmaster, is trying to bring her home.
All the while Tonklyn and the dragon Kirraxal are laying a plot to bring the kingdom to its knees, and Thissraelle is trying not to get caught in it!
Book 3: Of Dragons and Kings
Deep in the mountains, the heir of an ancient line of dragon kings lurks, gathering his cultish forces and impatiently making his plans. The only thing he’s afraid of is a magical blade that kills dragons.
Eddiwarth’s in love with a girl from a family of strong wizards, but he barely knows how to control his own magical fire. If he can earn his name and prove his worth, maybe they’ll let him marry her. Finding the dagger and stopping the dragons would surely earn him that respect, right?
Tonklyn, the Chancellor to the ascending dragon king, also wants that dagger so he can prove his loyalty and bring all of his plans for power to fruition.
Can Eddiwarth and his friends find the dagger and can he learn to “Be the Flame” before the kingdoms of Wynne fall burning around them?

A Delightful Listen
This is a very long audiobook, weighing in at over 40 hours. It's classic dragon-inspired fantasy. I think the most enjoyable aspect of it was the narrator. I'm of Irish descent myself, with family from both Northern Ireland and the Republic, and frankly, I can listen to that accent all day! It might be just me, but I love when anyone from Ireland, England, or Scotland narrates fantasy. Perhaps it's because I've seen too many fantasy movies with British Isles characters that I associate those accents with good high fantasy. It puts me straight in the mood to be transported! This audiobook would be absolutely perfect for an extended family trip, as it will entertain tweens, teens, and adults alike who enjoy well-written and well-narrated fantasy. There's certainly a coming-of-age aspect, hints of romance, but nothing that isn't family-friendly. It could certainly spark discussion if your family likes to talk about books and is just so imaginative that it might just inspire some family members to pick up the pen themselves for a little creative writing. A heck of a lot of fun and highly recommended.
I received a free digital copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
