Fourteen-year-old Icabus used to dream about dragons. That was before the nightmares about the man in the well began- before the red ships came. Now, Icabus's island village is under siege by the Authian king, Furius, and Icabus must abandon everything he knows to answer the hundred-year-old mystery of what happened to the dragons of Apenninus. But time is against Icabus, and he must act quickly before everyone he loves is transformed into monsters to serve the mad king. Only the mysterious dragon knight, Nubis, can help Icabus find the dragons, but to convince Nubis to help him, Icabus must first prove himself to be more than a boy or a man. Furius, King of Authia, is dead. Armed with only his father's sword and an ancient dragon pendant, Dagan, the son of the King, flees into the Highlands, where the dragon, Aurifer, rescues him. But Dagan's relief is quickly shattered when he accidentally injures one of the dragon younglings, Corylus. Faced with the loss of his kingdom and the shame of his act, Dagan vows to heal Corylus and quests for the healing spring of Apenninus. But standing between Dagan and the spring are the Twelve Kingdoms ruled by the ruthless Praetor Marius. To fulfill his promise, Dagan must face his father's killer and choose between the oath of friendship and revenge.

This is one of the best books I read ever for his first novel

I pretty much started and never really stopped

What I really love is maps to know where every place is.

Even better who drew the Maps knew what they were doing.

Man, this book was a wild ride. It's been a while since I found a book that was enjoyable from start to finish. The world was interesting and had many cool creatures. My only main issue was at the start - it took a while for me to be interested in Icabus. It felt like he didn't get a lot of time until about a quarter way in. Still enjoyable, though.

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019
Icabus dreamed of dragons than his dreams turned dark and true. His village was over run by these awful men and they were going to kill Icabus, so Icabus ran in to the woods the one place he was always forbidden to go. He made it past what ever the evil thing was and ended up in another land where he needed to find the dragons to save his village and world.

This was a good book filled with action and suspense. The only part I had trouble with was getting use to all the characters especially the ones with names that were so close to each other. The audio narrated by the very talented Fred Wolinsky with his many voices for all the characters is well worth it. Mr. Wolinsky can make you feel as though you have been transported right there fighting besides Icabus or the towns people, he really brings this book to life for the listener.
