I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Lovebookstours.

Ascendant is the first book in a fast-paced, captivating dragon rider series with so much promise!
We follow Holt (a pot washer) who finds a deformed dragon egg and takes a huge risk defying The Order by rescuing it. Since dragons do not tolerate any weakness or deformities, Holt is putting his own life on the line in protecting this egg. The baby dragon inside is born blind and this just endeared Holt and his dragon and their unique bond to me even more. When the Scourge starts rising quickly, Undead hordes begin to travel across the land, slaughtering the dragon riders and leaving death, chaos, and destruction everywhere. Holt, who was never destined to be a dragon rider, must grow and use his dragon's power and prove he and his dragon are just as worthy as other dragons and their riders and also keep himself alive. I really enjoyed the characters' development of Holt and how vivid many of the scenes were. I feel this book has given us a drop in the ocean for a new fantasy world with so much more to offer.
This was such a great start to the series and I'm itching to start book 2 ASAP!!
