Dragon Untameable (Alveria Dragon Akademy's Untameables Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 574 ratings

When Alveria is plunged into a pitch-black darkness, can a dragon-shifter labelled as "Untameable" and the dragon-hunter sent to kill her, bond together to save their world?

Laini Unclaimed, a maid at the Alveria Palace, thought supervising a kid's birthday party of young dragons was going to be the hardest part of her day. Then a never-ending darkness falls across Alveria, and an army of monsters are unleashed from the underworld. As attacks on humans and dragons rise, there’s little the royals can do to protect the people from creatures impervious to magic—and many think Laini is to blame.

She's one of the first to face the terrifying monsters when she saves Prince Cade's life at the palace. After a lifetime of rejection, all the orphan wants is to find her place as an accepted member of Alverian society. But when the realm plunges into eternal night, her uncontrollable—unheard of—power awakens: the power over light and dark.

Despite whispers of suspicion and blame, Laini denies responsibility for the darkness—how could it be her when she doesn't even understand her powers? Under the king’s guidance, she's sent to the prestigious Alveria Dragon Akademy to learn control of this newfound magic with a mis-fit group of other Untameables. But even the strong Akademy walls may not keep Laini safe, for a young dragon hunter lurks in the shadows, watching Laini and biding his time.

Now Laini must discover the source of her powers and banish the darkness covering Alveria—before whispers become a cry for her death. But as the truth emerges, she learns that it is far more than her own life that's at stake, it's all of Alveria.

Return to the Alveria Akademy in an all new dragon fantasy adventure!

"Another GEM! This fast paced book is filled with mystery, magic and mayhem. I loved every moment and can not wait for the next in the series." -★★★★★- "OMG! Talk about totally rocking this bad boy from start to finish. Ava really brings it together in this amazing tale. Such depth and individuality. Strong characters, amazing storyline with an outstanding plot keeps you immersed till the end. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few glitches and scrapes really bring this bad boy bursting to life flawlessly. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it's easy to get drawn into this incredibe work of art. Remarkable job Ava, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us." -★★★★★-"This fast paced book is filled with mystery, magic and mayhem. I loved every moment and can not wait for the next in the series. I found myself fast reading ahead all caught up in the story!" -★★★★★

    As normal, Ava brings a new series to life with a continuation of previous characters, but with a twist in the plot of the story. Here, the main characters are viewed with suspicion and fear, even though they are not what they appear to be. Excellent read.

    Untameables was the first of Ava Richardson's books that I read. Total enjoyment, an escape from this reality that takes you to so many places. I liked them so much that I have now purchased and read most of her Dragon Stories. I have a few left and will add these to my list to be re-read periodically.
    You cannot go wrong reading the books in in the Dragon Akademy World.

    Would recommend this if you love magic, dragons and mystery.
    Great characters, love the untameables. Sad name for them, as just need more time to get control.
    At least they have solved the darkness on their own. Love the Queen, she is amazing.
    So looking forward to the next book and finding out what happened to the gods?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting continuation of the story
    Reviewed in Canada on August 25, 2023
    While I enjoyed this book, and while it did progress the story in an interesting direction. The story felt too similar to the last trilogy. It followed the same "outsider at the akademy, falls in love with someone she shouldn't." While the overarching story was new and very intriguing, the character interactions -especially between Laini and Tyr- felt much too similar to that of Kalean and Laraso (I hope I spelled those right lol) from the last trilogy.

    That aside, I very much enjoyed this installment and am looking forward to the next!
