Summary

Tomkin Thornhewn, youngest son of the Duke of Marshwell, has a problem: He’s not heroic.

Regardless of his aspirations, the bookish, untrained young man is better suited to recording the deeds of heroes than being one himself.

Which becomes an obvious problem when he finds himself clinging to a ledge above a sleeping dragon. And instead of wielding his family’s great sword with valor and skill, he drops it - onto the dragon.

The problem grows immeasurably worse when Tomkin himself falls off the ledge - also onto the dragon.

And his problem reaches its peak when Tomkin, after being captured, discovers a maiden locked in a tower. But this is no sweet damsel. Not only does she refuse to be rescued, she refuses to even admit she’s in distress.

It’s too bad for the people of Marshwell that Tomkin is the only thing standing - or falling - in the dragon’s way.

JA Andrews introduced the world to the magic-wielding, world-saving, story-telling Keepers in A Threat of Shadows. Now you can enjoy one of the Keeper’s most-beloved tales: The story of Tomkin and the dragon, in this engaging, lighthearted novel.

A Keeper's Tale: The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon is a stand-alone story. The Keepers in The Keeper Chronicles are, among other things, storytellers. This is the retelling of one of their favorite tales. It can be listened to at any time with respect to The Keeper Chronicles.

Waited so long to purchase this 🫣

I’ve waited forever to hear this tale………. I thought I’d get used to the narrator but no he made the story fall flat on its face and truly couldn’t get into the story. Lessons learned better not set expectations so high

Must listen

After hearing about Tomkin and the Dragon throughout the Keeper Chronicles, I was curious, and after actually hearing the story, I am so glad I got it. The narrator was great and story fantastic.
