Realm of Dragons (Age of the Sorcerers, #1)

by Morgan Rice

Those with the scale sickness, the stories said, eventually transformed into things that were anything but human, and deadly to those who remained.

Sooooooooooo the same scale sickness from GOT? Got it 👍🏾

She could see an egg though, sitting in the middle of the clearing, rolled onto one side on the grass.

Ah shit. Uh Grey I think we found that clutch you were so worried about

If she did that, the odds were that something would simply come and eat the egg, destroying the creature within.

It's a DRAGON it'll be fine

Nerra shuddered at the thought of the egg being dissected by scholars of the House of Knowledge. Even Physicker Jarran would probably want to take it apart to study it.

I feel like this is gonna bite her in the ass later, but if she wants to be miss savior then please be my guest

she didn’t want to take her prize somewhere it would be in fresh danger.

This living creature is your *prize*???? Also: how did everyone in the beginning miss this huge ass egg in the middle of this forest? Hell how did they miss the huge ass dragon flying around?

Princess Erin

Hiiiiiiii, Erinnnnn

Her father would probably be angry with her for coming out without an escort.

Why is it always so easy for princesses and other important folk to just leave without being noticed by anyone in EVERY fantasy i read?

“We might need to offer a dowry for her.” “Then we will. Gold, a dukedom, whatever is most suitable for my daughter.”

The whole concept of a dowry is fucking sexist and stupid. Ugh, i hate it. And besides, youre marrying a PRINCESS. Take your good luck and leave!

Erin had strode to her room to gather her things: her staff and her clothes, a pack full of supplies. She had sworn to herself then that she wouldn’t be coming back.

As you should girl! That family is whack AF!

That was also why she was taking this route, through parts of the forest long thought dangerous.

This is going to end badly

He stepped out, dressed in rough-spun clothes and holding a hatchet. Two more men stepped out from the trees behind Erin, one holding a long knife, the other an arming sword that suggested he might once have fought on behalf of a nobleman.

Hiiiiiiiiiii

“Barely worth it,” one of the others said. “Hardly a girl at all.” “You’re complaining?” the leader shot back. “The things you’ve done with boys as well?”

We love to hear it 🥰 N O T 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

The man’s leer of triumph quickly turned to shock as the blade stopped, caught with the sound of metal on metal. “Taking off a coat of mail is hard work,” Erin said.

Oh? 👀

Even as he died, the man flailed another blow at her, and Erin struck it aside, already moving on.

Congrats! You've killed your first man!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

She’d been overconfident,

The audiobook I'm reading along with this has so many errors that the producers just decided to keep in and i hate it. I can literally edit out audio on my cheap smartphone, you can too!

set a foot on his back, and dragged it out. Lifting it, she brought it down sharply on his neck. “That’s as much mercy as I have today,” she said.

As you should bestie 😌💅

She threw up. She’d never killed anyone before, and now the horror and the stench of it were almost overwhelming.

And.... There it is

She’d killed men, and she’d done more than that. She’d proved herself. The Knights of the Spur would have to take her now.

Eh, debatable

Renard

*sigh* more people for me to forget about Hiiiii, Renard

For a better ending, we really need a cunning but handsome thief to sweep in and take it all from under his lordship’s nose.” “Ah, now that would be a thing,” the sailor said. “But that don’t happen in real life.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

“I am dashing, and handsome, but not—” “Pretty,” Yselle said firmly. “Pretty as a maiden, though we both know you’re not that. Now, did you want something?”

Period 💅

it was an awful, awful lot of gold. Probably even enough to be worth all the risks.

I doubt it

“Is everything in order?” “Everything is in chaos, thanks to you. An extra feast wasn’t just food, it was time as well, so now we’re trying to deal with everything at once. Then there’s the fact that half your children aren’t doing any of the things they should be to help, your sorcerer is wandering around doing strange things no one can fathom, and Finnal’s family is making things more complicated.”

My family when we try to make plans

“Aside from spearing the largest of the boars this morning?” his son countered with a confident look. His followers had cheered when he’d done that, clearly impressed.

His character is a Gaston/Avenant body with a 10 year old brain

All the king had been able to think of was what might have happened if the boar’s tusks had gored his son, his heir.

You'd be fucked cuz you suck at parenting your other two. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Honestly, Godwin didn’t know what it would take to ever make his youngest son smile, and he wasn’t sure he had the energy to care.

A depressed prince. My kinda guy! Wanna hit of my SSRI, my dude? 😎

“If you wish me to help with the wedding, then perhaps I could assist the players with composing—” “No,” King Godwin said. “You’ll do work that befits a king’s son, and a nobleman.”

I bet he would make some fine music 😌👍🏾

“There is the small matter of when and how your daughter’s dowry will be paid,” the duke said.

Wait wait wait what??? You're discussing this now???

if he messed up any one of them, he suspected that his daughter might not be getting married after all.

I still hate the dowry stuff but why wasn't this discussed waaaaaayyy earlier??

Vars could feel the shame rising up in him,

Ugh 😣

“My half-sister sits as far removed from the succession as you could imagine, yet she gets a wedding worthy of a queen.”

Cuz she is one, thank you very much 😌👑

“You’re going to use my sister’s wedding as an excuse not to bed me?” Vars demanded. He could feel the anger continuing to rise.

Oh boo who

“None so lovely,” Vars admitted. “And you know it.” “Yes, I know it,” Lyril agreed.

Ok Lyril, I see you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Taking the cards you want and knowing how to use them. If you weren't in line with such a lump of burnt toast I almost respect you

The House of Sighs

Sounds fun

“Your highness, please be gentle…” Vars struck her, hard, with the flat of his hand, sending her tumbling to her knees.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Suddenly, he saw him there, standing in the middle of the hall, staring back. Master Grey’s eyes locked with his, and Devin was sure there was a moment of acknowledgment, of understanding, of connection.

Creepy ass MF

And what could only be a dungeon.

Welp

Greave didn’t understand how anyone could have celebrations

Ayyyye a Greave POV chapter. Heck yeah!

He plunged into the stacks, hunting for medical tomes the way Rodry might go into a forest after a boar.

Love a man with determination

Her voice was as beautiful as the rest of her, seeming to sing with the notes of the country far beyond the city. “My name is Aurelle Hardacre.”

Competition for Greave's affection i see 😈

For someone who worked with the dead and the dying so much, he always managed to sound more cheerful than he had a right to.

YouTuber morticians are always so happy outside of work. You'd be surprised how much empathy they have and how grateful for life they are.

“Well, I wanted to know more about dragons generally,” Nerra said. The more she could find out, the better. “Where do they come from? How do they grow? What do they eat?”

Nerra: the epitome of the dont be "Dont be suspicious" tiktok trend

“That of all the attempts to halt the scale sickness, only one cure has proved certain: cracking a dragon’s egg and consuming the yolk within.”

Oof

“I’m saying that you’re in, girl. For now. You will be a squire here, serving with the knights. You will learn, and if you learn, you will stay. If you fail, you will be sent back to Royalsport. It is that simple. Do you understand?” “Yes, Commander Harr.” He nodded, a certain gruff acknowledgment in the movement. “Very well. Welcome to the Spur.”

That was easy. Hell, besides the speed part i could be accepted into the Spar too. Alright, Erin lets how this goes with your dad.

Lenore’s breath caught at that. “You’ve brought a… a whore into my chambers?”

Her work is probably paying for half your wedding expenses. Besides not everyone can be born a princess so STFU🙄

“Simply this: your pristine, loving, faithful husband-to-be? He was in my establishment last night, surrounded by beautiful girls… and boys.” Lenore froze.

Period 💅

“He spoke about you, dear, about how he wished he didn’t need to marry you, but that his father was insisting, for the connection to royal blood. Apparently, they’ve argued about it.” Lenore shook her head. “No.”

Lol he literally wants every other person in this kingdom but her apparently

Lenore went to slap her, her anger getting the better of her, but Meredith caught the blow.

Awww she mad 😂😂😂

Lenore said. “I have a maid who hangs around with whores? What were you doing in the House of Sighs?” She paused. “It’s obvious that I cannot have a maid to whom scandal will attach so easily. You need to go now. Go, and do not come back. You are dismissed from my service.”

Lol what a spoiled bigot™

“We will not speak of this, or of her, again,” Lenore said. “Ever.”

She's so salty 🤣😂🤣😂
