Scattered across a continent and scarred by their harsh experiences on the path to adulthood, the three dragon siblings are among the last of a dying breed—the final hope for their species' survival.
After being separated by dwarf slave traders who found their nest, the brothers and sister—Auron, the rare scaleless gray; Wistala, the green female; and Copper, the embittered cripple—are reunited. But their reunion is not a happy one, since the three find themselves at odds over the coming human war. Auron thinks dragons should have no part of the affairs of humans. Wistala believes dragons and men can peacefully coexist. And Copper has designs of his own for the world.
And the civilized humans who have turned to Copper for assistance against their savage enemies have just given him the perfect opportunity to fulfill his plans.

"The Copper's tale is a great addition to the stories of his brother and sister. It is interesting to see his perspective and the reasons behind what happened to set all three stories in motion. It will be interesting to see how the three come together in the next part of the series. "
— Marissa (4 out of 5 stars)
“This is an original tale told from the viewpoint of the dragons…As the storyline switches from dragon to dragon, you are carried through by the artfully crafted personalities of each main character. The tale picks up speed on the wings of dragons as they venture aloft, and it carries you with each courageous wingbeat toward the forging of a grand alliance and an exciting new world.”

— Publishers Weekly" Another great read. Interesting how he is bring all the dragons back together. Will their relationships continue to grow or will AuRon and the Tyr fragment more? "
— Tiffany, 1/4/2014" I thought this book made an adequate end to the series, which I thought it was, believing it to be a trilogy! I've now discovered this series continues, I'm not sure how I'll change gears to thinking a trilogy was concluded only to find the series goes on! "
— William, 12/1/2013" I enjoyed this book but not as much as the other 3. I expected a bit more fireworks...even just a bit more when the 3 dragons finally met. It just seemed to be a downfall after all of the hype beforehand. I will still read the 5th book to see what happens next. "
— Susanna, 8/19/2013" Pretty poor climax "
— Alina, 5/3/2013" Keeping dragon names straight is hard. Almost need to keep a list and look over it when reading. good plots "
— Paul, 4/7/2013" Pretty good. Its been a while since I read the first three. There were several things that happened in the first books I didn't remember. Overall a good series of books. Still like the first one the best! "
— Brooke, 7/9/2012" One of the best so far, really could have ended the series here. "
— Aleece, 1/10/2012" The story moves on following the three siblings as their life experiences lead them down different paths. "
— Shannon, 10/27/2011" E.E. Knight writes another captivating dragon story. I expected the Copper to be a more cunning, sinister character and therefore not to like him much; fortunately, that wasn't the case. I did, however, enjoy Dragon Champion and Dragon Avenger a bit more though.. still excited for the next one! "
— Susan, 12/28/2010" This series is beginning to out pace the Vampire Earth series. Very enjoyable. He is keeping this fresh with new characters. Knight could use his own advice back on the Vampire Earth series and give someone besides David Valentine a story. "
— Richard, 7/22/2010" Enjoyable, definitely picks up towards the end. "
