“Has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal. It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re The Sorcerer’s Ring) “The beginnings of something remarkable are there.” --San Francisco Book Review (re A Quest of Heroes) From #1 bestseller Morgan Rice, author of A Quest of Heroes (over 1,300 five star reviews) comes the debut of a startlingly new fantasy series. REALM OF DRAGONS (Age of the Sorcerers—Book One) tells the story of the epic coming of age of one very special 16 year old boy, a blacksmith’s son from a poor family who is offered no chance of proving his fighting skills and breaking into the ranks of the nobles. Yet he holds a power he cannot deny, and a fate he must follow. It tells the story of a 17 year old princess on the eve of her wedding, destined for greatness—and of her younger sister, rejected by her family and dying of plague. It tells the tale of their three brothers, three princes who could not be more different from each other—all of them vying for power. It tells the story of a kingdom on the verge of change, of invasion, the story of the dying dragon race, falling daily from the sky. It tells the tale of two rival kingdoms, of the rapids dividing them, of a landscape dotted with dormant volcanoes, and of a capital accessible only with the tides. It is a story of love, passion, of hate and sibling rivalry; of rogues and hidden treasure; of monks and secret warriors; of honor and glory, and of betrayal and deception. It is the story of Dragonfell, a story of honor and valor, of sorcerers, magic, fate and destiny. It is a tale you will not put down until the early hours, one that will transport you to another world and have you fall in in love with characters you will never forget. It appeals to all ages and genders. Books two--THRONE OF DRAGONS--is also now available! “A spirited fantasy ….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.” --Midwest Book Review (re A Quest of Heroes) “Action-packed …. Rice's writing is solid and the premise intriguing.” --Publishers Weekly (re A Quest of Heroes)

‘Reading' the audio-book version.
Prior to starting this book, I had read numerous reviews regarding the introduction of multiple characters that seemingly didn't appear to be related - with many reviewers abandoning the book at around the Chapter 10 mark.
I am not sure if the written/e-book version chapters align with the audio version - but - by around the Chapter 20 mark - the characters started to develope & I could see there are several stories about the familes happening at once. A bit of ‘politics', love, espionage and good old skull-duggery develope and the various plots thicken - YES - Plots. There are several happening at once - from different perspectives.
This is the 3rd series I have been ‘reading' from Morgan Rioce - and her writing style can be a little off-puting; jumping from 1st to 2nd to 3rd person narratives - but it is probably easierr in the audio-book version to wrap ones head around this quirk.
As an audio-book, I haven't seen the grammer or spelling errors others refer to either.
The narrator for this series is well on-point, and able to engage different tones & accents for the different characters as well - making things a little easier to follow (I guess)
I am really enjoying the story line/s and have just cranked into Book 2
