Product Description

Product Description

At nineteen, Delcan wants nothing more than to break the bonds of what the world expects of him; winning the tournament at the Flarian Festival and earning a place as a squire is the only way he knows how. When he discovers his own father's secret past and his role in the kingdom's history, Delcan's life as a squire suddenly becomes complicated; when he falls in love with the princess, Aria, it turns deadly.

Dragon Fire is the story of a farmer's son and a princess who dreamed of becoming a knight. It is a coming-of-age tale set in a world where the young have no hope and the old no longer believe in magic. With compelling characters and vivid language, it is an action-packed story of romance, hope, sacrifice, and the most unlikely of heroes.

Fascinating story which is very well written and had me intrigued from the start. Credible characters and a fast pace added to my enjoyment of this book, will happily re-read this one, I hope the author writes many more - I like his style.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I liked it.
Very well researched and the characters so believable - I almost beleived it was a true story.

I also liked the pace of the book - so many books drop off in the middle - this one didn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRAVO FOR DRAGON FIRE AND PEDRO ALVAREZ 16 Feb 2012
By Marty Priest - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This fantastic story flows seamlessly like a waterfall in paradise. It is colorful, refreshing, and every bit as powerful. The characters, places, and plot demand your attention in a world of make believe that leaves you entertained and fulfilled. With names and places like Delcan (of course he can) and Twilight crossing (one of my favorites) Alvarez takes you on a journey from which you will never want to come back. Rugged and sensitive, something here for both sexes. Once opened, this book reads itself to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Fire 13 Feb 2012
By Jacqueline L. Hines - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Pedro L. Alvarez has done a great job of holding the reader's attention throughout this amazing story. Dragon Fire is well written, has a spell binding plot and excellent characterization. The ambitious Delcan strives to become far more than just a farmer's son. He sets his sights high and in the process, falls in love with Princess Aria. The writer manages to weave a love story into a suspense novel and does so with strong characters and plotting. Well written, good story. I gave this one five stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Imaginative but Needs an Editor 6 Oct 2012
By G. Cox - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
It seems I must be the dissenting opinion. I read the other glowing reviews of this book and wonder. Maybe I have an earlier version (March 15th, 2012) and the reviews were written about a newly edited version that I haven't seen? Maybe there's something else I don't understand? If this was written by someone in early college or high school, it is an awesome book, but to take its place beside professional fantasy novels, it needs some attention from a talented editor experienced in content editing, line editing, and copy editing, and maybe even a little consistency checking.

The story is wonderful. The author's imagination is fresh and vibrant. The characters are done well. The plot and action are also done well with a few places that are truly fresh and surprising. I would never use the word "formula" to describe this fantasy book.

There are some passages that are truly beautifully written, but then there are lots of others that make my teeth grind, especially when the word choice is just plain discordant. That's when I put the book down and go read something else for a while. It's a beautiful story that would benefit from some general cleaning up that an editor's eye could bring to it.

I find myself very conflicted about my opinion of the book. On the one hand, I couldn't wait for it to be over so I would cease to come across those messed up passages, but on the other hand, I couldn't just stop reading because I had come to care about the characters and the land of Paraysia enough that I had to know how it ended.

All in all, it wasn't a very enjoyable reading experience, but the imagery and ideas were impressive.
