Part 2 of 3 from "Reign of the Ancients" from the Fantasy-Adventure Series "The Onis Chronicles"

The Dragons:

Broken and shattered after her confrontation with the Great Silver Monarch Dragon, the young elf maiden is forced to put the pieces of herself back together. Realizing that healing the land of Onis will require a much greater effort than facing one dragon, the friends must devise a plan to strengthen their efforts and recruit whomever they can to join their cause. They embark on a journey that will take them to the far reaches of Onis and the far reaches of their minds as they grow into the beings they were meant to become while discovering why they were drawn to the strange young elf to begin with. As the elf maiden struggles to recover from her encounter with the Great Aeris, she must now race against time to learn how she can become the powerful Omi Méa that Onis needs her to be without losing herself in the process.

Reign of the Ancients Series:

A war between the ancient dragons of Onis and the elves has been raging for nearly a millennium, but the dragons' hatred of the two-leggeds is spilling over to all the races, including the humans, dwarves, and drow. As the tyranny of the ancient dragons terrorizes all the two-leggeds into hiding, the very land of Onis is dying around them. After a thousand years of war, a prophesied elf with great power is sent to confront the ancients and restore the land in a quest for peace between all the races. Will she overcome the dragons' hatred and fulfill her destiny? Or will the land face an even greater danger yet to come?

An Arduous Journey & An Exciting Tale

I enjoyed book two as much as the first one. I was amazed by the complexity of the worldbuilding. I enjoyed the creative and unusual creatures which populated this detailed fantasy. I liked Laila and her friends. I felt for the group of friends as they traveled throughout the whole of Onis and struggled to recruit others to their cause. I admired their courage and their drive to succeed in spite of all the obstacles they faced. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I was entertained by Aaron Smith's narration as his performance kept my attention. I appreciated R. E. Davies' additions to the narrative performance. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
