Synopsis

"I'm sorry, hatchling. You are an outcast. You must learn to overcome on your own..."

Such was the welcome the young, nameless Copper dragon received upon breaking free of his shell. Crippled while battling his brother for dominance in the nest, he is all but ignored and discarded by his mother and father—the last of a dying breed. Forced to fend for himself, he learns the hard lessons of survival. When he's captured by vengeful dwarves, he buys his own life with the lives of those who rejected him—and pays a price he never imagined.

Fleeing his guilt, the Copper finds himself far from all he knows. Rescued by unlikely, bloodthirsty saviors, he makes an extraordinary trek to the last bastion of free dragonkind. In this secret civilization, he finds a new family. They too are wary of the crippled, wild-bred dragon, but this time he's determined to prove himself equal to any enemy, on four legs or two, from the highest mountaintop to the deepest cave, as he pits his strength, wit, and courage in a contest for the survival—and domination—of dragonkind itself.

Goodreads review by Kerian on December 08, 2015

Arguably, I think this is probably my favorite book out of the original trilogy.

Goodreads review by Ryan on January 29, 2016

Ah, the story of the final sibling in the Age of Fire series. First, I want to note that 2 stars means it was ok, not actually bad, according to goodreads rating. I know my first reaction on seeing 2/5 stars would be thinking it's not good so the rating is a little misleading. Second, I'll mention th......more

Goodreads review by Chase on April 06, 2023

Wow, what a huge improvement this book was over the first two. More tragic and more sad, but at the same time, it had a very interesting plot that was made even better by the world building that the author somehow managed to improve and expand upon, yet again, despite it already being fantastic in t......more

Goodreads review by Anna on November 20, 2018

'Dragon Outcast' is the story of the Copper, the last living brother of AuRon and Wistala, and I will be honest, I didn't actually expect to like the Copper very much when I started this book. I just couldn't forget that it would be his actions and his betrayal that would lead to the death of almost......more
