    About this audiobook

    Three years of strife have passed since Kale and Bardon freed Paladin's knights. Now, fiery dragons scorch their beautiful countryside as an evil husband-and-wife wizard duo fight for supremacy. The people of Amara just want to be left alone, hoping the conflict will disappear. But Paladin is dying, and Bardon and Kale - now married - must accept fateful, separate assignments if their land is to survive. Can their efforts turn the tide against their adversaries?

    Kale's responsibility is to find, hatch, and train an army of dragons by working side-by-side with the dragon keeper father she has never known. As the Amaran countrymen seek escape, she must gain a greater understanding of her gifts to overcome her doubts. And as the end draws near, with friends and family in serious jeopardy, both Bardon and Kale must face their greatest trials yet.

    Prepare to experience breathtaking adventure and mind-blowing fantasy as never before in this stunning addition to Donita K. Paul's popular Dragon Keepers series.

      One of my favorite books, the world was realistic and detailed enough to entrance me, the characters were my friends! Such a good book!
    • 4/5
      Much to Kale's dismay, Paladin is ill. Worse, he's splitting her and Bardon up! Sending them on separate quests, that is. Quiss, fake mordakleep, fire dragons, and apathy are dreaded enemies in this installment of the Dragonkeeper series. To underline just how badly the people of Amara have forgotten what's important, one questing party encounters a fellow so old he doesn't hardly remember his own name...but he remembers clearly how to win an upcoming battle. It's never made clear why he sent his minor dragon with them or if he got her back, which was bothersome to me as a reader.The other questing party got derailed from their quest less than a chapter into it. What they did end up doing was worthwhile, etc., just not precisely what they were instructed to do. Oh, and they defeated one of the more powerful villains of the story. Accidentally. The story's a bit haphazard, but easy to enjoy because there's not a dull moment throughout.

      Three years have passed since the final chapters in DragonKnight. Sir Bardon, an o'rant and emerlindian knight in Paladin's service, has married Kale Allerion, a wizard and Dragon Keeper. When the novel starts, they are standing in the remains of a village destroyed by fire dragons, flying weapons of warfare. Bardon has his hands full as he tries to prevent Kale from entering the partially destroyed inn. But Kale feels the pull of her DragonKeeper talent towards the crumbling building. After Bardon forces her to think through a plan, she enters the decrepit structure. Accompanying her is Ardeo, a white and grey minor dragon that glows in the dark and Pat, a chubby brown minor dragon whose talent is repairing things. They make their way to the inn's basement, Ardeo lighting the way and Pat slowing Kale's headlong rush into the rickety remains.

      But greater danger lies outside. When Kale exists the unstable building, Bardon is gone. Dibl, another one of the DragonKeeper's minor charges, informs Kale via mindspeaking about a small group of bisonbecks that entered the inn's yard while she was inside. By the time she locates her husband the fight is almost done. Bardon has downed two of the bisonbecks and the minor dragons with him have blinded another one with the caustic spit. She flattens one of the two remaining fighters and Bardon knocks out the last bisonbeck. Kale uses a vine to immobilize the only conscious prisoner and Bardon begins to interrogate him. The bisonbeck, a soldier in Crim Cropper's army, gives Bardon some useful information, but not much. The husband and wife duo head on their way, determined to carry out their original task—finding Regidor and his wife, Gilda, rare meech dragons. Gilda is dying from an evil spell and Bardon and Kale think they've found the cure. But will they reach their meech friends in time? And what has happened to the outside world while they've lived in isolation in the bogs? From the devastation left by the fire dragons, they suspect war will soon come to Arama. A war whose outcome will determine if their homeland lives free under Paladin and Wulder, or falls to Pretender and his forces.

      DragonFire is the fourth book in the DragonKeeper Chronicles and continues the high standards set in the previous three books. Award winning author Donita K. Paul has built a complex storyworld for this series, populated with dragons, wizards, kimens, bisonbecks, emerlindians, mordakleeps and knights, just to name a few. All the characters, from the most powerful wizard to the tinest dragon, have personalities that crackle and snap across the pages. So much so that I really missed some of my favorite characters from the earlier books-a librarian named Librettowit and the wizard Fenworth. He's a hoot!

      Summer 2008 brings the series to a close with DragonLight, the final book in the DragonKeeper Chronicles. While I'm sorry to see this series end, I'm looking forward to visiting Arama and its inhabitants once again.

      In DragonFire, the fourth book of the popular The Dragonkeeper Chronicles series by Donita K. Paul, the story begins in a dark scenario that just gets even more morbid from there. The war that had begun at the end of the previous book has been going on for three years at the beginning of this volume, with the forces of the evil wizards battling the Pretender for supremacy, and laying waste to Amara in their struggles. The deaths, injuries, fear, and turmoil are bad enough themselves, and have lead to something much, much worse. Paladin, the chosen representative of Wulder (God) on Amara is dying. Wulder is Creator of all things, and is self-sufficient, but His representative needs the faith of many people to survive. Not because Wulder makes mistakes, but because people need to take responsibility for their actions. And the actions of much faith or little faith effecting Paladin's health, and thus how well he can protect them, is just one example. With their leader's health deteriorating, the lack of faith in Wulder causing such deterioration, and the threat of an ever-expanding war claiming even more lives, the servants of Paladin undertake a strategy to reverse the trend and defeat evil, if Wulder is willing. DragonKeepers and Wizards Kale Allerion and her father (who is also a knight in Paladin's service) go in search of dragon allies to do battle against the evil mortal and demonic forces; while Kale's husband Sir Bardon, mother Lyll, friend Sir Dar, and other allies engage in a separate mission to defend the countryside against further violence while Kale and her father are busy at their job. As events unfold, they appear to be about to succeed, but the cost could be too much, up to and including the lives of many of our heroes, and maybe even their souls.This book flummoxed me in my efforts to decide what I thought of it, or even if I liked it or not. Some of the more clumsy moralizing I disdained from the third book continued at first, but became less obtrusive and more subtle as the story progressed. So that was sort of a draw for me. But the dragons concerned me even more. For the dragons are portrayed as morally superior beings from another world who might flee through portals to escape the dangers, and leave the Amarans to deal with the chaos alone. Apparently, the dragons have long fled the sins of the high and low races, and view the unrest as solely the problem of the Amarans. That smacked of the problematic (at times) attitudes of the Elves in Tolkien's Middle-Earth mythology, or the Ogier in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time universe. This would have been fine, but the lack of the nobility and loving nature of the larger dragons as a whole compared to the kindness and grace of the said groups from other works, really rubbed me the wrong way. At the point where I learned of these morally perfect, yet seemingly selfish, dragons, I was ready to write the story off. Then the dragons as a character type had more complexity introduced, and indeed, I again couldn't decide what to make of this. With just one more book in the series, how does Paul intend to resolve some of the ambiguity which still remains at the end of this fourth tale. Because even with the dragons choosing to stick with the Amarans and serve Wulder, there is much to be resolved without leaving the audience confused. In general, this was a great tale, and gets some benefit of the doubt, because of the difficulty of the type of story that it is. As a stand-alone tale, it is a good read, but not nearly as good as the others. As a story designed to set up the final tale and fights of the series (which it clearly is, as far as I can tell), it works great. I look forward to reading the final entry in this wonderful series. Despite my criticisms, I really do enjoy Donita K. Paul's works and hopes she writes more stories set in this wonderful and fascinating universe. Highly Recommended.
