Synopsis
The once peaceful kingdom of Torvald has been ravaged by evil magic, forcing Riders to forget their dragons and their noble beasts to flee to the wilds. Now, anyone who dares to speak of dragons is deemed insane and put to death.
Into this dark and twisted land, Saffron was born sixteen years ago. Cursed with dragon affinity and magical powers, she has been forced into a life of exile and raised by dragons—secretly dreaming of a normal life and the family she lost. But as her powers become more uncontrollable, Saffron knows she must find her family before she hurts herself—or worse, her dragon clan.
Scholarly and reclusive, Bower prefers to spend his days reading about the legends of the Dragon Riders—even if being caught means death. But as the son of a noble house on the brink of destruction, it falls to him to fulfill a mysterious prophecy and save his kingdom from the rule of the evil King Enric—yet all he wants is to be left alone to read. When fate brings him into contact with Saffron, Bower gains a powerful ally—but one whose wild, volatile magic threatens their very lives.
Their friendship might just have the power to change the course of history, but when the Dark Mage King Enric makes Saffron a tempting offer, their alliance will be shaken to its core.
Review
Wow, a wonderful put-together story of friendship, betrayal, hate, and hope. Ava Richardson has woven a fantastic world of magic and dragons for us fantasy fans to get lost in. If you love dragons, then you will absolutely love this.
Dragons of Wild is the first book in the Upon Dragon’s Breath Trilogy. It’s a fast-paced, action-packed young YA dragon fantasy adventure that will have you hooked from the first page.
What I absolutely love about this book is the bond between one of the main protagonists, Saffron, and her dragon Jaydra is brilliant. The story is rich in history, from the get-go. The world-building and setting are excellent, great character development, and lots and lots of dragons.
The City of Torvold has been under a dark spell for sixteen years, ruled by an evil king and sorcerer Hacon Maddox, who murdered the previous royal family, the Dragon King and Queen. But his brother brother betrays him by saving the young princess from the same fate.
To speak of dragons and magic is a death sentence in Torvold. Our two main protagonist Bower has a love of books, reading about dragons and dragon riders that will adventually lead to his arrest but escapes Torvold.
Saffron is cursed with the ability to see and communicate with dragons, since been forced into a life of exile as baby and raised by wild dragons secretly dreaming of a normal life and who she is and who her family were. But as her powers become more uncontrollable, Saffron knows she must find her family before she hurts herself or, worse, her dragon clan.
A chance encounter between Bower and Saffron as they search to find out who they are will change their lives forever. If you’re looking for fun, read, and wonderful storytelling, then I very highly recommend…😁💙🐲
