About this audiobook
"I'm sorry, hatchling. You are an outcast. You must learn to overcome on your own..."
Such was the welcome the young, nameless Copper dragon received upon breaking free of his shell. Crippled while battling his brother for dominance in the nest, he is all but ignored and discarded by his mother and father-the last of a dying breed. Forced to fend for himself, he learns the hard lessons of survival. When he's captured by vengeful dwarves, he buys his own life with the lives of those who rejected him-and pays a price he never imagined.
Fleeing his guilt, the Copper finds himself far from all he knows. Rescued by unlikely, bloodthirsty saviors, he makes an extraordinary trek to the last bastion of free dragonkind. In this secret civilization, he finds a new family. They too are wary of the crippled, wild-bred dragon, but this time he's determined to prove himself equal to any enemy, on four legs or two, from the highest mountaintop to the deepest cave, as he pits his strength, wit, and courage in a contest for the survival-and domination-of dragonkind itself.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was impressed. We've recounted the same events at the beginning first with Auron in book 1, then Wistala in book 2, and finally the Copper in this book. I'm going to tell you though, I was at the end of my rope with hearing the same story retold at the beginning, I was almost burnt out because I thought it wouldn't add to the story that much, but I was wrong. The Copper faces considerable adversity compared to his siblings lives even after the egg shelf, towards a society that mirrors the beginnings of Silverhigh. Although, it was not without its drawbacks; from chapters 11 through 20 the book slows down to establish this new environment but it contains a lot of political minutia that, at first, almost compares to filler, but it all ties up brilliantly in the end where our underdog dragon earns his own marked by the gradual disappearance of his lisp into true drakehood! And trust me, that was a relief, halfway through the book I almost couldn't bear the narrator being so faithful with supporting the lisp until I truly saw that it was a device designed as a means of marking the Copper's true progression.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Strong entry. The war between the races continues. The world of the Dragons is changing -- differently in different places. A story of how the physically weakest can become the strongest.......
