Publisher's summary

Jakkin, a 15-year-old bond boy, works with many others in Sarkkhan's worm farm/nursery on the desert planet Austar IV. Jakkin plans to steal a baby dragon from the farm to raise, hoping to train the dragon to fight and earn him enough money to buy himself out of bond, as well as the dragon's freedom.

Eventually, with the help of Akki, a girl at the nursery, he succeeds and names his dragon Heart's Blood. After a year of training and growing, Akki arranges a way for Jakkin and his beautiful red dragon to engage in their first battle.

Still fun after all these years

There are a few themes in this story that may not have aged very well, but it's still fun. I enjoyed it in the 6th grade, and I enjoyed it now many years later.

One of the first books I ever read

I found this book when I was a freshman in high school over 30 years ago. At the time I found the 2 others and really enjoyed them. Over the years I tried from time to time to find the books again and I could only find the first 2 to add to my collection. On a whim, I checked Audible and found there was a 4th book!!! I can't wait to go through all of them again. It has been over 20 years since I read them and want to enjoy the FULL story this time from start to finish.

Dragon's Blood (Pit Dragon Chronicles

This was one of those kindle books that come with a free audible. The narration was great with each voice distinct amazing for a woman. And this is a Dragon tale off the beaten path. A former penal colony where dragons were natural to the planet.

Also a coming of age too. A fast read, if you have KU notice that the little headphones grove on over to Amazon.

good writing

I liked the pacing of the story. I thought it was very short for a complete book.
