Our story begins with 16 year old Jenka stalking his prey, a large buck. The young man’s ambition was to follow in his father’s footsteps as a King’s Ranger. His pursuit of the buck ended in a ravine. It was getting late so Jenka built a fire and settled in to wait for the morning light. Out of the dark sky, a dragon swooped down. Jenka ran in fright but returned. The young dragon was under attack from trolls. Although dragons were considered dangerous the young man could not resist protecting the beautiful creature. The trolls turned their anger on Jenka. When he regained consciousness the dragon was speaking to him. A bond was formed between the Jenka and Jade. The pair would meet again.
The trolls were planning a war, and the dragons wanted to help man to defeat their common enemy but the King was too stubborn to recognize the danger was from the trolls not the dragons. Would it be too late by the time the King accepts the truth?
Mathias is a master at characterization. The dragons are magnificent in the story. I also enjoyed the characters of Zah and Jenka. The Royal Dragoneers is book one in the The Dragoneers Saga. The plot is action is fast, furious and never ending. The plot is intricately woven with twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing. The story has a mythical quality. Fans of fantasy will not want to miss this one.
