Bestselling author Stephen R. Lawhead's Dragon King Trilogy--now available in one volume.

In the Hall of the Dragon King

Carrying a sealed message from the war-hero Dragon King to the queen, Quentin and his outlaw companion, Theido, plunge headlong into a fantastic odyssey and mystic quest. In his valiant efforts to save the kingdom and fulfill his unique destiny, he will cross strange and wondrous lands filled withbrave knights, beautiful maidens, a mysterious hermit, and a deadly, giant serpent.

The Warlords of Nin

It has been ten years since Quentin helped the Dragon King battle the monstrous sorcerer Nimrood. Since then, there has been peace in the land of Mensandor. But everything changes when an urgent message summons Quentin to the dying king. The brightening Wolf Star is an omen of impending evil that might just herald the beginning of the end of mankind.

The Sword and the Flame

The Dragon King who now rules the land of Mensandor is none other than Quentin, whose courage and heroism have slowly transformed him from an orphaned servant into a war hero, respected leader, and a fierce man of faith. Shattered by the death of a dear and trusted friend, the abduction of his beloved son, and the loss of his enchanted sword, Quentin finds his faith tested like never before.

Loved this

Really good story with good characters. Love the Christian symbolism and I was sad when it was over.

Zoned out

It was easy for my mind to wander and skip chapters. A lot of fluff to the few points of action.

All time favorite

Great story with deep meaning and challenges! Every time I read or listen to this series I am challenged to be a better person. This version is wonderfully told.

Good Characters and clear morality.

The author portrayed his morales very clearly and the characters reflected their desires and twisted morality in powerful ways. The story itself was good, but not as good as some of Lawhead’s other titles. The emotion through the first two books was lacking but the third really picked it up.

Good morals but lackluster prose.

Definitely not anywhere near the writing of Tolkien but I kept getting reminded of The Lord of the Ring’s series by the plot, which was actually annoying. Had the author simply created his own fantasy and left out the sense it was thought up after reading Tolkiens books, it would have been easier to listen to. Overall, I only listened because I appreciate that it’s a Christian book with a good message. This review was written after only listening to the first book in the series.
