Synopsis

This timeless fantasy debut follows four unlikely heroes—a boy-turned-dragon, his reluctant dragon rider, a runaway witch, and a young soldier—bound by the Fates to save their world, and magic itself, from being destroyed.

Blue, River, Wren, and Shenli grew up on different sides of a war they didn’t start. Their land has been torn apart over centuries of conflict, with humans taught to fear all things magical, dragons driven to near extinction, and magic under attack. But an ancient prophecy has put the four them on a collision course with destiny—and with each other—in a mission to heal the fractured realm once known as Haven. 

All of them must follow the threads of Fate, leaving behind the lives and homes they know to discover the truth about the seemingly endless war—and the truth about themselves. As the barriers between them begin to crumble, can they unravel the lies they’ve been taught to believe in order to restore the balance between humans, dragons, and magic before it’s too late?

“A powerful cast of characters in an epic tale of dragons and magic.” —Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of The Unwanteds and Map of Flames

"There is a song whispered through every creature across the realms. The Fates warned us, but no one pays any mind to the Fates anymore." This is such a cute story, I'm so glad I finally finished it!! I got this book (signed!) from my friend who is friends with the author, so I was SUPER excited to r......more

Goodreads review by A. Minnie on February 06, 2023

This book reads a bit like a YA epic fantasy that got patched for middle graders. There are good things and bad things about that. Caveat: I am an ADULT who reads a lot of middle grade novels, but I am still an ADULT and thus obviously not the target audience for the book. The Good: I can imagine that......more

Goodreads review by Matt on November 19, 2022

HEROES OF HAVENSONG: DRAGONBOY is an immersive epic fantasy debut with complex and likable characters, deep world building, and one of the most unique and interesting magic systems I've ever read. The writing itself is beautiful, utilizing wonderful descriptions without being overdone. The first in......more


Quotes

★ "Reyes has woven together a deeply magical world where fear smells like wood and oranges, hiccups warn of a great danger, and secrets are hidden in every realm....This enchanting novel is perfect for readers who love their fantasies with humor and cleverness. Highly recommended."
Booklist, starred review

"The novel pulls readers in from the beginning with well-thought-out worldbuilding that offers many surprises...emotionally resonant...enchanting."
Kirkus Reviews

"In this complexly plotted adventure told in a nonlinear chronology, Reyes slowly weaves together seemingly disparate narrative threads—some of which take place over the course of several years—and often hints at long-hidden secrets tied to deeper worldbuilding, sowing excitement for the planned sequel."
