Paranormal Romance published by DL Grant, LLC 14 Jun 22
Zora, that beautiful magical world where the dragons relocated when they were sent away from Earth, ruled by the twin dragons, mixed fae, and dragon children to Con and Rhi. While the children have ruled with a capable hand trying to prevent the mistakes that were perpetuated by the original dragon kings on earth, despite their best intentions, it seems that evil has found a way to root itself in Zora. Dragon kings long asleep on earth have come one by one to see their brethren, and the unmated dragons are on a quest to root out the evil and keep this land safe. Quiet, brooding Shaw is one such dragon who breaches the gates of Stonemore to find out what’s happening in the human-populated citadel.
Shaw has barely gotten started on his mission when he meets Nia, a courtesan belonging to the Divine, the leader of Stonemore. Nia has grown up in a very hard school and will do what she must to protect her status quo and find her freedom, if she can. Nia’s mission is to capture a dragon king for her master. She has never failed on an assignment and is determined to succeed at all costs. Her attraction to Shaw is not real anyway, it’s just because of his forbidden magic – or so she believes.
Shaw finds himself tempted. Nia has managed to get beneath his barriers and wormed herself into his heart. He knows that she’s his mate. Can he succeed in revealing the evil that is happening right under her eyes, get her on his side and foil the Divine? A tall order, but he’s going to give it his best.
The author has a whole new world where she can take familiar characters and continue spinning stories, while adding a host of new characters and new species. I am enjoying discovering what new species will be introduced next in this magical realm of the imagination.
Grade: B
Summary:
He’s a man of few words, but she fills his soul with poetry.
Quiet. Brooding. Capable. Shaw’s mission is simple: Root out Stonemore’s leader and determine what the Divine has in store for the people of Zora and the Kings. Just as he gets started, however, a breathtakingly beautiful woman finds and tempts him like no other. Nothing can stop him from engaging in the pleasures she offers. After all, pillow talk is sometimes the best way to uncover secrets.
Nia’s life has never been hers. From starving on the streets to becoming a slave to the Divine, she merely does what’s needed to survive. But when her latest assignment brings her face-to-face with a handsome man who makes her feel things she’s never experienced before, she begins to see that while she’s been living, she’s not really thriving.
As truths are revealed, and Nia’s blinders are removed, she realizes that she can no longer sit by and allow things to continue as they have been in her city. It’s time to take a stand. With Shaw by her side, they spark a war so many have tried to avoid. But the injustices being perpetrated must be stopped—no matter the cost.
