BuzzFeed Greatest Fantasy Book of the Year author

In his magnificent, heroic, adventure fantasy, Dragonslayer, Duncan M. Hamilton debuts the first audiobook in a fast-moving trilogy: a dangerous tale of lost magics, unlikely heroes, and reawakened dragons.

Once a member of the King's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevauvais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child. He’s astonished—and wary—when the Prince Bishop orders him to find and destroy a dragon. He and the Prince Bishop have never exactly been friends and Gill left the capital in disgrace five years ago. So why him? And, more importantly, how is there a dragon to fight when the beasts were hunted to extinction centuries ago by the ancient Chevaliers of the Silver Circle?

On the way to the capitol city, Gill rescues Solène, a young barmaid, who is about to be burned as a witch. He believes her innocent…but she soon proves that she has plenty of raw, untrained power, a problem in this land, where magic is forbidden. Yet the Prince Bishop believes magic will be the key to both destroying the dragon and replacing the young, untried King he pretends to serve with a more pliable figurehead.

Between Gill’s rusty swordsmanship and Solene’s unstable magic, what could go wrong?

another great book

Duncan M. Hamilton never fails to enthrall me and Simon Vance as always a great performance looking forward to the next two books

Duncan Hamilton is a wonderful fantasy writer!

An excellent plot, well developed, feasible characters without the foul language and slease of so many.

Well Done

I have enjoyed several series by Duncan M. Hamilton now. I haven't finished this series, only the 1st book, yet so far it is my second favorite series. Like other reviewers, I wish a bit more of the dragons perspective was shared.

Good story, but narrator editing could be better

The decision to edit out or shorten the pauses between sentences made this really hard to follow sometimes. Let the man speak, don't Fuck with his pauses.

Another awesome addition

You can’t help but love the pace and method of writing Hamilton utilizes. Without giving anything away you will find love for the characters and their adventure.
