Front cover flap synopsis:
Death comes from above in the plateau world of Ae’leron, where griffins and dragons prowl the sky. Those who escape becoming prey—or enslavement in the Drobin Empire—hide in secret villages. Surviving in the depths of the Thornclaw Forest, the people of Cliffton live on the edge of the Void—an abyss of clouds that surrounds the plateaus and blocks the view into the Underworld.
Guardians work tirelessly to protect each village, and Drake, along with his pair of guard dogs, is Cliffton’s most dedicated and vigilant. When two Drobin warriors appear outside the gates, he is forced to confront his most hated enemies. But the secretive Drobin hide the true nature of their journey and why wyverns hunt them.
Drake’s world becomes a whirlwind of change as he leaves his true love and guides the Drobin on a suicidal journey to the lair of the dragon king. He must do this, for if he doesn’t, war will consume the world and destroy everything he loves.

My thoughts:
Everyone knows how much I LOVE dragons!
So when I heard about this book my first thought was 'ooooh Dragons!'
Then I got lots of other books and put off buying this book forever.
Last year at LTUE I met the wonderful author and he gave me a great deal on book one and two.
Now, the first thing you need to know about this series is that
the whole thing is the dragon is the villain of the story. . . but, but, but I love dragons.
Why would I want to read a book about dragons being the villain?
Well there is nothing to worry about! I love people too but that doesn't mean all people are good right?
And I always love a good villain!
This books is AMAZING! Well written, beautiful detail, dialogue and description. My ONLY complaint revolves around one seen with mention of possible adult content. Nothing actually happens.
Do I recommend this book? YES!
For what age? 13-18+

What no comments? Well then allow me to be the first. Only 4 1/2 notes? That is because the dragon is the villain right? I gotta admit that was kind of a downer for me too but I still could not put the dang book down.
ReplyDeleteThe Golden Cord is a fantastic book and I am actually buying book 2 of the series from Paul in a couple of days because I have to know what happens.
Since I met Paul a year ago he has been a true inspiration to this brand new, and somewhat terrified, author.
He is not only a very talented author but even though he is extremely busy he will always take time to help out.

As a dragon fan, it is a bit of a bummer if the dragon is the villain. Heard good things about this book, though.
