Dragon's-Eye View: The Wisdom of Dragons #1 Kindle Edition
Tyber has never been all that impressed with dragons. He’s too busy with more important things, like trying to keep his family fed. But when he’s caught stealing, he's presented with a choice: join the King’s Royal Academy of Dragon Riders or go to prison.
Which would you choose, right? The king's war had taken a turn for the worse and new recruits are desperately needed. So much so that a bonus is offered to those who complete the first round of training. At least joining the academy would be a way for Tyber to help his family.
It sounds like a golden opportunity, but first Tyber must face the mysteries of the academy, endure its trials, and learn to serve a king he blames for his family's poverty. None of these tasks, however, will be as difficult as winning the loyalty of a young dragon named Rius and accepting the wisdom of dragons.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2022An enchanting story of a young mans journey and discovery of his life's purpose. Filled with the fantasy of dragons, this is a perfect read for the young at heart.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024I enjoyed the story very much. It is well written and appropriate for all ages. It follows most dragon fantasy tropes. I am looking forward to reading more in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021Tyber doesn't care much for dragons. Actually, he really doesn't like them at all! He has more important things to worry about, like helping to feed his family... Then something happens and he ends up at the Kings Academy of Dragon Riders! There he will be able to earn money to help his family, make new friends and meets Rius, A beautiful young blue dragon! But will Tyber stay or will he leave after the first training sessions? He has some serious decisions to make for his future... This is the first book of The Wisdom of Dragons series and I found myself totally immersed from the beginning. With strong characters and excellent plotting, I was carried along with Tyber and what he is going through. I was totally entertained and can't wait to read the second book...
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024Another masterpiece for Vickie and Danny Knestaut! I love the way this story alludes to Trysten and her weyr. I.read all of Trysten's story so far. Now to see how she is affecting the hopes and aspirations of Theola and Tryber. An insightful coming of age story. I highly re commend for all ages!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023You are taken on a crazy journey for a young man to keep himself out of jail and serve the king. The author did a great job with the book you can't stop reading the book.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2022Sadly for me this is the first in a series. It is week written and the characters are compelling. You can really relate to the teenaged main character. This books talks with insight of the challenges of growing up poor. The wrier understands how the day to day assumptions we make to live constrain our choices and our future barring a significant emotional event. Tyler has that event and it changes everything. I can only hope that in the rest of the series it changes for everybody in the family and the city.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023I wish the book was longer. I enjoyed reading this and feel like I should have started with this series first.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022Dragon’s Eye View (#1) is a simple story about simple people—that I enjoyed very much. The hero starts in poverty and then is whisked away into a new life—with DRAGONS! I would recommend this book for any reader. I’m an old man and thoroughly enjoyed it.
