- Dragonsphere is the first book in the series The Fallen King Chronicles.
Blurb:
The soul of a powerful dragon has escaped its magical prison.
The creature's wrath knows no bounds and spreads across two enemy kingdoms, forcing an unlikely alliance.
Calderon and Velkyn, the two young men charged with the safeguard of the sphere that held the dragon captive, must leave everything they've known in a quest to recapture the beast before it takes physical form.
Will they be able to stop events beyond their power, or will both kingdoms be destroyed by the dragon's rage?
Written by Richard Fierce (me!)
Narrated by Andrew McDermott

I've never been a listener, always a reader and I've tried. I wanted to find an audio book to try again and found yours. The narrator drew me in immediately and I could see the cave and feel the sigels. Thank you gentlemen for a lovely experience, my hats off to you both!!
Thank YOU for the compliments and for listening. 🙂
Sorry so long ,but yes ! His accent caught my attention,and then the book. 🥰

It's why audiobooks are the best form of entertainment when done right. Like many movies cannot capture a great book, and the audiobook elevates the book even more. Like the bad Martian movie compared to the great audiobook.

When I realized the Author and the youtuber were the same, I subscribed, liked, and commented!
Awesome, thank you!
As the great granddaughter of a silversmith I have to say I love Demetrius's character. ❤
Oh wow, that's awesome! I'm glad you like him. 🙂
I'm honestly surprised that you're not more widely known. You are an excellent author and every book I have read of yours competes greatly with the likes of Piers Anthony and even the great Steven King. Though, thank God, you don't take 3 pages to describe a flower like King. Lol. Great book.. can't wait to continue the journey.
Oh wow, thank you so much! That's quite a compliment. I appreciate that and thank you for checking out my books. 🙂
It's a really good saga, and the narrators voice eventually finds his flow and it stops being so off. Will definitely listen to them all again at some point in the not to distant future
Thanks for your comment Brian, I shut it off after a couple minutes thinking I wouldn't be able to handle the reader. Ill give it a go
betting it’s the terrible narrations. i love a good accent, especially Scottish, but the weird intonations and cadences put me Right off.
@@alphalpha123ify it's his voice that drew me in,lol. I love his accent and then the book was great as well !
Really enjoying the book so far, I appreciate you sharing this. I've struggled for a few weeks find a good book another cracking story thank you.
You're welcome! And I'm glad you like it. 🙂

I've been searching for someone who writes as magically as Sir Terry Pratchett .... and PRESTO-YOU!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing imagination with us ✨
Oh wow, that's an amazing compliment! I appreciate that, and I'm glad you're enjoying the products of my imagination!
Terry Pratchett is absolutely great isn't he these stories are quite good too
@@jamesjenkins6324 He was a legend!
Someone really needs to remaster his audiobooks. Some of them are quite difficult to listen to.
Just started listening to this. The narrator has a wonderful storytelling tone and his accent is compelling. Looking forward to the story.
I'm glad you like Andrew's accent. 🙂 Thanks for listening!
I enjoyed dragon series am loving your writing perfect for listening in the still of the night. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for listening! I'm glad you're enjoying the things that come from my imagination. 🙂
Great story. But im shocked at the way the monks handled the security of the sphere. Its was very vulnerable.
Even the strongest and wisest make mistakes. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites Amen!
What a blessing. Thank you for sharing! It’s truly appreciated

This Irish narrator is so lovely to listen to !
I think so, too! Andrew is a joy to work with. He also did my Dragon Riders of Osnen series if you haven't listened to that one. There's 14 books and they're all on here.
I think it's very fukkin faaak
I like very much the english akcent of scotlands. Is my favorite! Thank you and greetings from Bulgaria. I found this book very interesting.
Andrew is Irish, but he often gets mistaken for Scottish. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Thank you for listening!
I'm usually not the type of person that's into these books but I was bored one night and I decided to give this one a chance it's really cool I liked it so I'll be looking for more just goes to show you that it's okay to try new things this is cool. 👍🏼👍🏼✌🏽
Thanks for giving it a try even though it's not your usual read. I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Thank you for all the great books love them so much!

I love working with Andrew, and I'm glad you like the story. 🙂
Wow! Love the accent :) And the story, thank you for the opportunity to enjoy it in audio!
You're welcome! Andrew's voice definitely brings the story to life. Book 2 is coming in February, and he also narrated a 10 book series I have on here. Thanks for listening! 🙂
Thank you for this. You and Andrew makes my otherwise nights of living he'll more than bareable( I spelled that wrong didn't I). I am curious about the 10 books that you mentioned, that Andrew also have narrated. What is the name of those please. Thank you again🌹🌹
@@yvettelefeu9073 I'm glad I can ease your suffering with stories. The other series is Dragon Riders of Osnen, which is also here on CZcams. Just go to my channel page and check out the playlists available. 🙂
The narration drew me in, the accent is awesome ! I love fantasy and dragons, so it caught my eye, great so far and I am just getting started. It's enticed me with his voice ,his wonderful accent, it paired perfectly with the story . Thank you for the upload, I will check your other books ,I love to buy paper books. 🥰
I'm glad you're enjoying the story and Andrew's accent. 🙂 I offer paperbacks on my website store or you can get them online through Amazon, etc. Thanks for listening!
This is beautiful. Thank you for the story, it is emersive and really has drawn me in.
You are too kind! Thank you for listening!
The book is my favorite ✨✨
Yay! I'm glad you like it so much. 🙂
An awesome gift to us, thanks a lot.
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank u so much for sharing really love your writing
You're very welcome! And I'm glad to hear that!
Good plot, sir. Interesting characters. I also enjoyed some of the side characters, and evil ones.
My main respectful critique would be
A. Less "he questioned". Asked and said is fine.
B. "Suck" and "messed up" are modern words of ours. Using is it in a story like this rips the reader right out of the story.
Fair points! This was the first novel I ever wrote, so I don't make such rookie mistakes anymore, ha!
No worries, your first novel is 100% better than the majority of peoples nonexistent novels!
it was nice of you to put this on youtube for us to enjoy for free. i cant wait to give it a go later !!
You're welcome! Enjoy!
Thank you so much, what a treat for the ears really! 😍
I'd like to recommend the audiobook Noara: The Last Moon.
It's THE most accomplished audio production I've ever heard. Everything is perfect - the cast, the voices, the soundscape - it's fascinating!
Enjoy!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the good book
You're welcome!
'its most important we eat them, before they eat us.' What I tell myself everytime I meet a new crush.

A.D.N. I am loving this Authors stories!!and I think the narrator is Irish, love his voice !!!
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying them! And yes, Andrew is Irish. 🙂
Great books thanks for posting. cheers
I'm glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for listening!
I'm going to start listening to this series
Awesome, thanks for checking it out!
Thanks a Million!!!
You're welcome!
Great work Sir thank you
Thank you! And thanks for listening!
Loved reading this book and am sure to read the other ones from you. Plus good narration really enjoyed it
I'm glad you liked it! I have plenty of other books on here, too. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites I am a blind person and I am very grateful to you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your books in the audio format. The narrators of all your books have done a superb job.
@@viplanka I'm glad you enjoy them! Thanks for spending your time listening to them!
Just started this series, and love it!. I am on team dragon.
Awesome, thanks for listening! I've also got 2 dragon rider series on here, so there's plenty to keep you entertained!
Almost three hours in and I’m loving the story line and the narrator, I’ll definitely be listening to all your other books as well. Thanks for sharing such a gem! And, never stop writing!
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for listening!
Love the book. Love the reader 🏴🏴
Awesome! Thanks for listening! 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites no thankyou for the free reading! I love reading/audiobooks and often can't afford it. 🙏
@@yvonnegriffiths7856 Well I'm glad I can provide some entertainment for you. 🙂 Book 2 is coming in February.
@@RichardFierceWrites Brilliant, can't wait 😁🏴❤️
I love a good accent. That said, the narrators accent is lovely but his cadence of speech is making me crazy 😤 I'm gonna push thru b/c my fellow listeners swear it gets better... We'll see.
You could try speeding it up and see if that's better for you. 🙂
A big Merci from France.
I like your stories, as a fan of Médiéval Fantastique since my childhood.
A special waow for the narator with his lovely accent ( scottish ?)
Hey, thank you for commenting! I'm glad to hear you like the story. Andrew is Irish. 🙂 I have plenty more books on here, too, and I hope you enjoy them!
Not Scottish. Northern Ireland
Love the Irish accent. Just started listening and I'm gonna keep on.
I'm glad to hear that. 🙂 He also narrated my Dragon Riders of Osnen series. You can find those books on here as well.
@@RichardFierceWrites Are those books from the same world as this one? I have just found this book and, although I am only a short way into it, I am really enjoying it. Being Scottish, the accent and intonation of the narrator are very pleasant and easy to understand. Makes a huge difference to listening to American narrators and cringing at the way they pronounce some words. 😉
@@Loki-and-Thor They are two separate series in different worlds. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites I look forward to checking them out.
The accent is fine, the words are pronounced distinctly.
The narrator adds a little flair to the story with that accent
Everybody just enjoy!
Agreed! Thanks for listening!
I love this guy🤗🤗
As do I. Andrew is a great guy in general, and a talented narrator as well.
Some times I forget I have ADHD. Then I listen to something at normal speed and there it is.
You should be able to speed it up in the options. Hope that helps!
I always do n at 2× it sounds normal to me but then I leave CZcams and come back to wonder why everything sounds like it's in slow motion.
My good man Richard, I'm back :) I've finally processed my backlog (that sounds worse than what it actually means-simply put, finally I've got some spare time again) and guess where I started to look for new material? HERE. :D And to my utter delight, it's narrated by Andrew McDermott whose *Irish* accent (and voice/style) I've grown so fond of. Feels right at home, so to speak. I'll let you know what I think of this story as soon as I think that I'm able to voice an opinion. I hope you're doing fine and that you'll eventually manage to find some spare time again like when you visited Disneyland. Take good care of yourself and catch you soon, I hope :)
Glad to have you back on my channel!
I spent the past 3 days at a local-ish convention speaking on panels about writing and selling books in person. It was a fun time, but now I've got to back to writing!
@@RichardFierceWrites good to be back! And I'm glad to know you had a good time at the convention and it's nice to know that you were given the opportunity to speak and promote yourself there. I wish you success :) And enjoy writing. I am aware of hard times that may prevent you from writing so I hope remembering episodes like that convention and interacting with readers who truly appreciate you will get you back on track and help you acquire the motivation necessary for this job. Naysayers are typically a minority but at the time much louder than those who (silently) support you. You seem to be energised right now, so hold on tight to that and write away! :) Thank you for your prompt and friendly replies-that is also something I really appreciate and it motivates me to give you the best possible and honest feedback. Alright, thank you for sharing your work and thoughts :) Take care, Richard.
@@ArtBlade You are too kind! Thank you for the encouraging words and support. I truly appreciate it!
Finally I found an audio book read in the Scottish accent! 🤩🤩
Missing Scotland so much.
Coming from the EU sadly I was not allowed to work and stay there.
And no company ( even NHS!) church or wealthy family was willing to sponsor me as an O.T., voluntary worker or personal assistant...😢
I miss the Highlands, the islands, the nights singing at the pub, the people and their different accents so much... 💔
If Scotland wants to be independent- why don't you let people in that WANT to work and pay taxes etc.!?
Why letting refugees in but not people who are sick of the EU-tyrannies?
Scotland! Wake up! For hundreds of years you want to be independent from England! Which is fine. But DON'T make the mistake becoming dependent from the corrupt EU! -lead by Germany and France!!!
My heart's in the Highlands... I keep you all in prayer, hoping to come back soon and finally become a part of this beautiful people and country! 🙏💓💓
Andrew is actually Irish. 🙂
Just realised that according to the comments it is more an Irish accent. 😅 Was already wondering which part of Scotland the narrator is from. The Scottish Glasgow, Perth, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Oban accents definitely sounded differently 😂...
Anyway: I'm drawn to this nofthern British dialects and still would love to come back north - Ireland or Scotland! 😘😂
@@teresafelice No worries, ha! I'm jealous of your travels. I would love to go to Ireland or Scotland. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWritesYou should definitely go there! 😀
But be warned: Although at the beginning the nature and people seem to be a bit boring ( not fancy and colourful like in Italy f.e.) - it gets you in the heart!
Not because it's peaceful. That's only one side of the coin. Especially in Scotland: lots of broken and desperate people, many forests gone - the hills are plain - very sad!
But still - their hearts are open and strong... Can't explain it...
@@RichardFierceWrites thank you for the hint!😂
And sorry, Andrew, for my ignorance. 🙏
It's like German with all it's strong and different dialects and then someone asks if you are from Austria. 😂 No! It's NOT the same, I know! 😅
Please forgive me 😀.
Still prefere this accent than the English ones 😉
Great story, New sub here, more please ❤👍
I'm glad you liked it! Book 2 is up and book 3 is being recorded. 🙂
Lots of good reviews and I am grateful for a free book but the narration is so slow in some places that it is hard for me to follow the story. It's good, I'm still listening, half wishing that I had never started.
You can speed it up in the settings if that helps. I hope you're enjoying the story even if you find the narration slow.
Love this story also first time hearing an Irish narrator and I really enjoyed it.
Yay! This series isn't as popular as my other ones for some reason. I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites now I cant wait to explore the rest of your work 👍
@@ispymyi There's plenty on here for you to listen to. Enjoy!
@@RichardFierceWrites do you switch up narrators or is the Irish chap your main one? Sorry to bother you with questions 😁
@@ispymyi You're not bothering me at all. Andrew did this series and my Dragon Riders of Osnen series. Kevin E Green (English accent) did my Marked by the Dragon series, and Max Simshauser (American) did my space opera series.
The narrator has a neat accent. What country?
Ireland! 🙂
Sounds like a Scottish accent to me
@@andrewmoon4282 It's not Scottish. It's Irish, sounds like a County Donegal one to me.
Sounds Irish.
He's Irish.
You got falcon hoof again huh xD
😂 I didn't know the reference before, but Andrew (the narrator) sent me a video of who you're referring to. That's funny.
@@RichardFierceWrites it’s good shiz
@@saltedraisins7098 Thank you!
I too am very much liking the story and am also enjoying the narrator...for the most part. His voice is very pleasant and accent perfect for the story. But his habit of lilting up at the end of practically EVERY sentence is quite honestly driving me nuts!!! Dude! it is a nice effect but you're wearing it the fuck out! Nothing personal, still gonna listen....
I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Thanks for listening!
I hope you read my entire comment.
@@scottkuhn7428 I did. And I left it up because it's your opinion and you weren't completely rude with stating it. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites Thank you very much. It was not my intention to be rude, just stating an observation. I do think you are doing a fine job and am continuing to listen to this story. Take care.
@@scottkuhn7428 Of course. I'm the author though, not the narrator. 🙂
I’m 21/2 hours in and it feels like it’s all been a long prologue. When does the actual story start? Is there an arc? It’s hard to follow how much time has gone by and what is the relativity of the different people places and times.
The first few chapters about the creation of the sphere is the "prologue." The main story starts with Calderon and Velkyn.
Is this chapel "in" Hermiston OR,?
Lol
I could make an actual pilgrimage
Haha, no. It's funny that's an actual place!
I see a lot of questions about the narrators accent! Northern Irish. Belfast.
Close! Andrew is from Bangor, so not too far off. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites ah, well I suppose I'll have to be happy with close! Haven't been in years. Looks like I need to go back.. 😆
you from derry andrew
Not Derry but I grew up near Belfast. I live a bit further south from that now.

Very perceptive! 🙂

I just don't like nairators I would rather listen to the people talk about themselves.
Thank you
Do you mean you'd rather listen to the author read it? Or what do you mean by you would rather listen to he people talk about themselves?

Chapter 3 45:28
I like beer nuts
That was a fun scene to write. 😂
Sounds like a vikings voice
I've not heard that comparison before, but I like it!
I have no problems with the accent of Northern Ireland but .... the cadence is difficult. He reads rather like someone declaiming poetry.
I think it's just his style of reading. 🙂

WOW...THAT NARRATOR....I am done...
Andrew's accent isn't for everyone.
Love the series, would be better with a different narrator, the Irish accent is a bit off putting. His intonation and sentence structure is very wrong.
Glad you like the story!
I agree, it is a near constant inflection and it's distracting
Not relaxing when you have to put so much effort into comprehending the words of the narrator.
His accent isn't for everyone but if you can get used to it, I think you'll enjoy the books he's narrated. 🙂
Alot do like it though. I love it. Not that hard. With a accent that gives a feel to the world and the period. There is a wide world out there. Do things go with the flow to be ordinary like everybody else. This is how to stand out,to be better than the rest.
@@mtoddrosen6295 Well said!
Something happened in the last few decades to the spoken and written languages across the globe. Commercials, slogans mems altered the meaning somehow. Fewer and fewer books can convey clearly the narrative and the rushed reading clearly mirror our modern society (in a rush for the next thing). So far I love the book and the narrators lilting clear pronunciation and voice. As I close my eyes and listen I can see it in my mind. Thank you for the treat.
@@katieszabo4927 I'm glad you liked it!
I want to listen to this, but the narrator inflects on almost every sentence. It sounds robotic and monotonous. I think I'll try the paper version
Sorry to hear his narration isn't to your liking, but I do hope you check out the ebook! The paperback cover is being rebranded, so it should be available in the next few weeks. :)
I don’t know what it is, but I just can not get past the narrators voice. I find it very grating on my nerves I’ve tied toolset to this book3 times. Im sure it’s a great story, and I may look into an actual copy to read. But I can’t listen. Im sorry, really.
No worries!
Too heavy of accent for me..sad.
It'll grow on you if you keep going. 🙂
@@RichardFierceWrites I just can’t understand all the words..But maybe I will see if there are subtitles available🌞
I'm sure I would have enjoyed your tale and I tried for 40minutes, but the narrator has such severely clipped diction there is no flow and sounds unnatural.
His accent and style isn't for everyone, but I appreciate you giving it a try!
@@RichardFierceWrites
I really appreciate how you’re standing by your narrator. He does a good job. It is a bit slower paced than some. I did end up putting it on one and a quarter speed which fixed it right up without being distracting at all.
This guy is even faking or varrry varrry stooooned
Neither. Andrew is from northern Ireland and his brogue is heavy. 🙂
Such a terrible speech... 🤮
Andrew's accent isn't for everyone.
The narator sounds disinterested. Zzzzz
Far from it, actually. His style isn't for everyone. 🙂
Good story. Narrator put me to sleep. Boring
Not everyone likes Andrew's accent. Nothing wrong with that. 🙂
