Story
Seventy-five years ago, the dragons fell from the sky. We thought they were just meteorites - six terrifying explosions rang the world like a bell. When the dust settled, we went on with our lives as though nothing had happened. More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small and weak. They kept to the shadows, working in secret to persuade people to do their bidding, offering magic as payment and reward. Years passed...and still we didn't notice the evil growing in our midst.

From the moment Dara of Westwood spied the Silver Headed Raptor nesting in Rundeval Peak, the precocious redheaded 12-year-old girl was enchanted. The youngest daughter of the Master of the Wood lived in ramshackle Westwood Hall, in the independently minded Westwood estate of Sevendor. Her determination to capture a baby falcon and train it wasn’t hampered by the fact that Dara had never climbed a mountain, had never been trained in falconry, or even remotely had permission from her father to do it.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

A very good read
Book two continues the story and introduces new characters. By the end of the book I thought there was too many characters and that spoiled it a little. Although overall it was still fast paced with a decent story there was several times when it became a little too "samey" and I found my mind wandering, which, with this book was no good as new characters were popping up to often and I had to rewind to find out who they were for it all to make sense.

I like how this book pulls you along. Frank will get his in the next book. so just close you eyes and picture this world in your minds eye and you find that you don't want it to end. this author makes you feel the story. but to be honest he could have developed the supporting cast better. but the story is all about Ben.

The Dragon's Codex by David Wells
Another great book by a very note worthy author. Complicated information as usual by this author, who seems to know an awful lot about Dragons and Magic!! Enjoyed it tremendously and am looking forward to the next one!!!
