Yet something about her life changed that day, and she can't put her finger on what. She forces herself to move on but can never shake the inexplicable emptiness she feels.

These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

This was a story that we enjoyed from beginning to end, it had great characters and story line, I requested this to listen with my nephew as he loves everything dragons. The narration by Andrew Thacher was good... I would recommend this to others. I received this audiobook review copy from the author and S.O. in exchange for my honest review.

Fun Fantasy
This was a fun story to listen to. I've not read many dragon books and I find that this one really grabbed me. I'm ready to try some more, especially by this author. I love all of her books in other genres already.
The narrator was good, which always makes the listen much better and brings the characters and story to life.

Such a Tease - 2 stars for lack of follow through
This short story prequel of sorts was flushed out, not incredibly complicated, enjoyable enough, and a complete tease. The MC is likable and things don't end (or pause) where you'd expect for a typical "dragon rider" type story. Beyond that would be too much for such a short listen. I first listened to this more than a year ago, possibly 2 years ago for all I can remember or dig out of history and despite stumbling onto hints that the author was going to continue it, so far nothing. 4 Stars, if it didn't taunt me every time I saw it in my library...2 stars. I recommend it...but maybe when she's done the next one.

OMG I absolutely LOVED this story. Wenlyn is such a character and the fact that he loves to irritate his master made me laugh. This short story was such a good prequel to give me just a glimpse into Wenlyn's upcoming adventures. I can't wait to see what Wenlyn gets into.

This was my first experience with Liesel K. Hill's work and I really enjoyed the short tale. This story has sparked my interest in continuing on with the series once it is written.

More please
This is the first time that I have read/listened to Liesel K. Hill it won't be the last. I really hope that this is a prologue and there's more in store for the adventurous young Wenlyn. This is very short coming in at under 3/4 of a hour. I'll probably listen to it again.
The narrative brings the story too life.
