About this audiobook
Three young wizards. A magical barrier. Civil war.
The fate of a kingdom rests on the shoulders of three young wizards who couldn't be more different.
Bakari is a brilliant scholar wizard who's more at home in a library than a battlefield. Alli is a beautiful young battle wizard whose grace in battle is both enchanting and deadly. Roland is a counselor wizard with a seemingly limitless depth of untapped power-and the ego to match it.
As the magical barrier protecting the kingdom of Alaris from dangerous outsiders begins to fail, and a fomenting rebellion threatens to divide the country in a civil war, the three wizards are thrust into the middle of a power struggle.
When the barrier comes down, the truth comes out. Was everything they were taught about their kingdom based on a lie?
Will they all choose to fight on the same side, or end up enemies in the battle over who should rule Alaris?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like in the Cremolino Prophecy trilogy, Mike Shelton manages to sweep us into a world full of imagination, adventure, and magic.
There is a conspiracy thriving to push the kingdom into turmoil, and this is closely linked to a barrier which has separated the Elvyn land and the kingdom for 150 years, but which is now coming down.
What will be the consequences?
We have various characters: the good ones, the evil ones, and those on who the verdict is still out.
The chief characters are young wizards, supported by other young people. They need to do something to save their country from civil war. Whose side will they take? Can they be influenced in one way or the other, or are they at liberty to choose their loyalties themselves?
I really enjoyed this novel, it has everything you can wish for, but there is one thing that made me
subtract a star: this story would be very unsatisfying as a stand-alone, and although it doesn't end in a complete cliffhanger, it is clear that it needs more books to fully explain the goings-on.
I hope we won't have to wait for too long for the sequels, and I hope there'll be an audio version at some point, too.
This was an Advance Reader Copy, provided to me by the author. Many thanks. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Dragon Orb (The Alaris Chronicles Book 1) by Mike Shelton is an awesome fantasy tale for young adults but teens and adults will love it too, I know I did and I am 60! There is plenty of action, fighting, intrigue, magic, creatures of all kinds, and a touch of romance. Best of all, a dragon egg! I love the ending but I am NOT telling you that but needless to say, I want the next book! I loved the well developed characters and the many twists in the plot. Wonderful. Great read!
