Synopsis
On craggy slopes above the cliffs, nests of untidy timber house the Natural dragons - with no fire or magic. Nearby live the Charmed dragons, whose magic guards the fortress. But no magic is strong enough to resist the onset of a new era as the world changes.

Refreshingly different
I have read all the books in this series and enjoyed them all immensely. They are refreshingly different in that the story does not revolve around human characters interacting with dragons - it is all told from the dragons' point of view. Having said that, the dragons are very anthropomorphic, thinking and behaving like people rather than animals (they have such concepts as murder, government and war), but the characterization is very good.

The plot is complex and interesting with rarely a dull moment, keeping you gripped all the way through.

The only complaint I have is that, as any cryptozoologist will tell you, the author's "natural dragons", having only two legs, are in fact not dragons but wyverns!

amazing!
This book is among one of the best fantasies i have ever read, it is wounderfully detailed and captures the imagination marvellously. It is very different from other fantasies as there are no human or human resembling characters, making it a refreshing and interesting read. If you love the work of Tolkien, then this book is a must read! The author guides you through a world of tragic misunderstandings and the changing of the world as it is known The events have unfortunate but not devastating effects, with new hope and understanding between the mysteries of charm and the seemingly dullness of nature being born, and a new race of dragons, with a new future. Once picked up it is immpossible to put down, and after reading this I have gone out and bought the second and third in the series. If you have a wild imagination and a love for dragons, this is the ultimate book to own.

Amazing!
This book has been really underrated! It's fast paced, so you're always interested, and it's long enough to give you enough to read. It's completely different to any other dragon books I've read, is fairly priced and very good value for money. There are no human characters - they're all dragons, so it's a gem of a book for dragon maniacs like me :)
