About this listen
BuzzFeed Greatest Fantasy Book of the Year author
In his magnificent, heroic adventure fantasy, Dragonslayer, Duncan M. Hamilton debuts the first audiobook in a fast-moving trilogy: a dangerous tale of lost magics, unlikely heroes, and reawakened dragons.
Once a member of the king's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevauvais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child. He’s astonished - and wary - when the Prince Bishop orders him to find and destroy a dragon. He and the Prince Bishop have never exactly been friends, and Gill left the capital in disgrace five years ago. So why him? And, more importantly, how is there a dragon to fight when the beasts were hunted to extinction centuries ago by the ancient Chevaliers of the Silver Circle?
On the way to the capitol city, Gill rescues Solène, a young barmaid, who is about to be burned as a witch. He believes her innocent...but she soon proves that she has plenty of raw, untrained power, a problem in this land, where magic is forbidden. Yet the Prince Bishop believes magic will be the key to both destroying the dragon and replacing the young, untried king he pretends to serve with a more pliable figurehead.
Between Gill’s rusty swordsmanship and Solene’s unstable magic, what could go wrong?

Great characters, ripping read!
I think this is now my favourite of DMH’s books so far. An older, flawed hero almost past his prime and glimpses of a rich history and backstory make for a compelling yarn. The dragon lore is intriguing and we learn more about the Fount through an engaging female mage. A very enjoyable read and pitch perfect delivery from one of the best fantasy narrators around.

Good old fashioned story telling
Gill’s rusty swordsmanship and Solene’s unstable magic, what could go wrong indeed!! I loved this book - Simon Vance is always a win in terms of narration, but Hamilton's storytelling was good old fashioned fun with great characters too! Onto the next book!

Really enjoyed it!
Simon Vance is the best narrator. I first heard him on the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks and he helped turn those books into some of my favourite fantasy novels. I don't know if it this book itself is great or if Simon's skill just brings it to life and brings out the humour, but I recommend it particularly if you like your novels with a bit of wry humour.
While it wasn't anything ground-breaking , it was a thoroughly entertaining story with entertaining characters and I'm looking forward to listening to the next one.
