From the Publisher

Read the complete Dragon Riders of Avria series.

One boy, one egg, and a journey that will change everything.

Other children were running back into the cavern now, jostling him as they gathered near the nest around Will. They talked together excitedly, pointing and nudging one another as they waited for the egg to crack. Will barely noticed them.

“Come on. You can do it. Break the shell,” he whispered, balling his hands into trembling fists.

A scratching, clawing noise came from inside the egg as the tiny dragon scrabbled against the inside wall. Then a small crack appeared.

The other children grew quiet. A hushed murmur came from the people in the stands.

Will held his breath.

The crack widened as the baby dragon pushed from within. A fragment of shell dropped into the sand. Then a tiny pale claw appeared.

“What color do you think it is?” a boy whispered next to Will.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s a yellow,” a girl next to him said.

Little claws scratched at the widening crack in the eggshell, scattering a shower of gleaming fragments over the dark sand like glitter. The dragon inside let out a tiny frustrated growl. Then with a sudden jerk, the egg split in two.

A Fantastic Start to a Series

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

This was a delightful YA Fantasy book to read. The author knows how to write well, and I was engaged the entire time despite not liking most portal type fantasies. This one drew me into a world of new creatures set on an undiscovered island where the MC was the "chosen one" for a rare dragon. Young adult readers who are male will particularly enjoy this tale as it portrays a young boy looking for excitement and a mom who always worries he will end up hurt. Lol. Probably relatable to most adventurous boys. Enjoyable to read, and I would gladly read book 2!

Great story!

This book has elements of the familiar...dragons, coming of age stories, bullies, etc...but it somehow manages to be unique and so SO gorgeous. The author's writing style is clean but so descriptive that it's easy to see everything in your mind's eye. Can't wait to read the next one!

Fun Fantasy Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

When Will and his family get shipwrecked, they run aground in a strange pre-industrial world they've never heard of, where Will shows an aptitude for caring for the giant birds that serve as steeds.

Will's expectation of egalitarian treatment rubs some important people the wrong way, though, and he further annoys the merchant who took his family in (and exploited them) when he finds an unusual dragon egg.

That's when Will gets to prove what he's made of--and how his modern, Florida upbringing can stand up to the pressure of a true challenge.

Will is a great character, and his friends are well-drawn also.

The world, especially the culture around the dragonriders, is more than a little reminiscent of the Pern stories, but there are enough differences to make this its own thing, and well worth reading.

Incredible book, will definitely be checking out the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed Secret Of The Dragon Egg, I still wonder what happened to Will's Cousin John, did he survive.

The part where the boy stole his dragon egg was really shocking, but I was pleased to see that Will managed to get it back, even with extreme risk to do so.

I was happy to see that the dragon egg did hatch for him and chose him to bond with, will be looking forward to seeing what comes in the next adventures with Will and Vortex.

A Great Book for Middle-Grade Readers

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

As mentioned in my headline, this is an excellent book for middle-grade readers. However, even as an adult, I enjoyed the magical world N. A. Davenport created. The characters were well-developed, and the writing was enchanting.

This book envelops you in a way that allows you to join in on the adventure the main character, Will, embarks upon. I’ll be looking out for some more writing by this author.

Egg...celent!!! I love the book! The next thought is when is it coming out in paperback or hardbound? And 2nd when is the next book coming out! This is a great adventure of finding out how much one can endure when you really, really want something special for yourself and especially others. Loved it! As soon as it's out in Paperback or Hardbound it is going onto the 2 elementary school's libraries where I work!

This book is great for kids and tweens. There’s plenty of fantasy and imagination in it and it’s easy to read. For older teens tho, there might not be enough conflict or adult themes

I have been an avid reader of all things dragons my whole life. I love this book, can't wait to read

Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2022

My journey in to the world of dragons began with The Dragon Riders of Pern, and continues to be my favorite reading material to this day. Davenport has written the beginning to what promises to be an epic tale spanning many volumes to come. The writing style is perfect, natural, and easy to read. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this book. Hurry up and bring in the next one please!!!

Boring & Bland

Couldn't finish reading it on account of its snail's pacing, unimmersive story and disengaging characters.
