From the author of The Dragon’s Blade Trilogy and the narrator of The Witcher series, comes the start of a new dragon rider epic combining the best of Eragon and Pern with the hard magic of Brandon Sanderson and Will Wight.

Holt Cook was never meant to be a dragon rider. He has always served the Order Hall of the Crag dutifully, keeping their kitchen pots clean.

Until he discovers a dark secret: dragons do not tolerate weakness among their kin, killing the young they deem flawed. Moved by pity, Holt defies the Order, rescues a doomed egg and vows to protect the blind dragon within.

But the Scourge is rising. Undead hordes roam the land, spreading the blight and leaving destruction in their wake. The dragon riders are being slaughtered and betrayal lurks in the shadows.

Holt has one chance to survive. He must cultivate the mysterious power of his dragon's magical core. A unique energy which may tip the balance in the battles to come, and prove to the world that a servant is worthy after all.

Ascendant is absolutely riveting—I found myself completely hooked from the very beginning. The pacing is relentless in the best way, constantly pulling you forward with high-stakes tension, emotional depth, and vivid world-building. Every chapter feels purposeful, layering intrigue and character growth in a way that makes it nearly impossible to pause. Honestly, I can’t stop listening to it; it’s the kind of story that stays in your head long after you’ve stepped away. If you enjoy epic fantasy with heart, momentum, and immersive storytelling, this one delivers in a big way

How does book 1 in a series "continue to improve" ? Listen to it again and you'll understand. Moving on the my second listen of book 2 and I am as eager as I was the first time. Simply packed with great characters and foreshadowing of challenges. Among my favorite dragon series ever.

Continues to improve!
