'Prophecy' is the first book in a new YA fantasy trilogy that follows Kira - the only female warrior in the king's army and the prince's personal bodyguard. She is also a demon slayer and is a pariah in her city. If her profession wasn't enough for people to be afraid of her, she also has the strangest yellow eyes - ones like nobody has ever seen. Kira stumbles upon a conspiracy that threatens the crown, her country, and her family. She must keep the prince safe, while trying to help solve the mysterious prophecy of the Dragon King - whom everyone believes to be the prince. In order to save the prince and find the key to unlocking the prophecy, Kira must face demon soldiers, evil shamans, and their Demon Lord.

This was a thrilling, action-packed novel that I couldn't put down. I didn't know what to expect when I read the descripton, but I'm glad that I gave it a try - it definitely exceeded my expectations and then some. Kira is a really awesome heroine in the book. She's strong, fierce, loyal, doesn't care what people say or think about her, and definitely kicks serious butt. I immediately liked her from the start and only continued to admire her thoughout the novel. The plot was interesting and different from what I normally read. It was very well detailed and the descriptions of the people, the setting, and the history behind the story was very intricate and well done. It gave a clear picture of how things came to be and what was  going on - even though it's a completely fictional place, I felt like I was there with the characters. I had no problem immersing myself in the story and could easily imagine the setting and the story as it played out. There's a ton of things going on in the book and it completely trashes genre labels. There's action, adventure, fantasy, suspense, a touch of mystery, and a bit of romance thrown in too. Overall, this was a fantastic first book of a really intriguing new trilogy. It definitely exceeded my expectations and speaks for itself. Although it may not be for everyone, fans of action and fantasy novels will be sure to devour it. I'll definitely be reading the next book to see where the story goes and what happens to the prince and Kira. Highly recommended!

I liked the story line: dragons/human dragons, kings, prince, princess , the Fae, & of course the evil villain that tries to take the kingdom. In this story it's the neighboring duke who wants to be king & the human dragon who just wants the princess @ the treasure.

The Dragon of Legend series is one of the most original dragon stories that I have read in a long time! There is a lot of action, adventure, and even a little bit of romance involved. All of the characters in this book are so well developed that it seems as though I really know them! I would love to see more of these Dragons and their Riders!!

I read this story as part of the book Dragon Actually.  For the review of the other two stories in the book, please read my review for that book.

I really enjoyed this story of dragons Addolgar and Braith.  I loved the whole concept of dragons actually talking like humans in their dragon forms.  I especially loved all the other characters in the book and look forward to reading more about them.  Hopefully, the author will eventually write the story about Addolgar's parents, Aileen and Shalin.  Now that seems like a REALLY great story.

One of the greatest series for my beginning reader. My son learned to love reading with Drake and his fellow Dragon Masters. The story revolves around Drake who is chosen to be a Dragon Master of the king. He moves away from his family to live with the other three Dragon Masters in a castle. Their dragons all have different powers and abilities the masters have to learn to use. As soon as my son is done with one book, he picks up the next one and is now looking forward to the release of book number 5.

If you like shifter stories you will enjoy the dragon guard. You will fall in love with each dragon and their soul mate.

Kiril glanced around the darkened room. He walked to a leather chair and sat, stretching his legs out in front of him and crossing his ankles. Did you know that during the Fae Wars the Dark took two Dragon Kings? At different times, of course.

I suppose they escaped as well? Are you telling me we don't know how to hold a Dragon King?

The Dark did . . . things to my brethren. One completely lost his mind and attacked us, which is what the Dark wanted. He had to be killed. The other King knew what was happening to him, but he couldna stop it. He came to us and begged to be killed before he could harm one of us.

Shara sipped her whisky before she said, You lost two Kings and I lost seven siblings.

And the Light the Dark took?

The Dark take the Light and the Light take the Dark.

Kiril let his gaze drift down her body. How he itched to have her long legs wrapped around him. Things would be so much easier if he didn't desire her as he did, but there wasn't a switch he could flip and turn off his bodys reaction. The more he tried to ignore the growing desire, the more it raged uncontrollably within him.

He gave himself a mental shake and returned to their conversation. Whats the plan, then? Will the Dark storm in here and try to capture me?

Shara walked around the room, her hand skimming along the backs of the chairs. No.

No? Kiril set aside his glass on the table next to him and silently rose to his feet. He followed her as if a string tied them together. What then?

You don't really want to know.

Kiril spun her around so hard that her glass flew from her hand and landed upon a rug, spilling the whisky but not breaking the crystal. Tell me, he demanded in a soft, deadly voice.

My job is to seduce you. She held her stance for a heartbeat before she retreated, taking two steps back.

He tracked her until she was once more in the entryway. The shadows darkened everything, and yet the smallest sliver of moonlight found her, illuminating her in a pale blue glow.

No longer could he deny what he wanted. Perhaps it was her confession. Maybe it was because he hadnt taken to the skies in weeks. Whatever it was, all he knew was that he had to have her or go up in flames.

Then seduce me.

BURNING DESIRE by Donna Grant is the third book in AND an awesome addition to her Dark Kings series. This series combines two favorites of mine, Highlanders and dragons, interlacing both with sexy Scottish brogue! The Dark Kings are a spin-off from her Dark Warriors series which in turn are a spin-off from her Dark Sword series. All are set in the Highlands of Scotland. I inhaled the first and second books in this series, DARKEST FLAME and FIRE RISING. There are interconnected characters and continuing threads in the series. BURNING DESIRE can be enjoyed as a standalone as the author seamlessly fills in needed background information. However, I highly recommend reading all the books in this series as they are utterly fantastic!

This book has a great pace an awesome story and characters.  It is a cliffhanger do make sure to get the second book or better yet the series.

I think this was a great start to the series, having just finished this book I look forward to moving on to the next one, Dragons of a Lost Star.
The best of the other Dragonlance series that I have read so far would be two different ones that I would rate equally well, The Twins & The Chronicles. The latter series is the one that begins with Dragons of a Autumn Twilight.
What confuses me about this book is that I don't remember reading Dragons of a Summer Flame. I am not sure where in the series it fits in. It is definitely before The War of Souls because some of the characters I don't remember from the Chronicles. It is rare that the authors write a single novel, but I don't think that the Summer Flame is apart of a series. After reading the first one of The War of Souls, I am anxious to go back and read Dragons of a Summer Flame. I would highly recommend reading that book BEFORE this one.
Ok now back to the review. I thought that the story development was stronger than the character development. I find the longer series, such as the Death Gate novels, to include a stronger description of the characters than in this book. The Solamanic Knight in this one had me fooled as to his actions. I expected someone who didn't take his vows very seriously, but later on he makes a very selfless act that had me surprised.
In this book they go back in time to try and find what happened before the Chaos War (Dragons of a Summer Flame) but they can't seem to find it. Similarly I thought this was a great book to read but I didn't see the same level of Fantasy that I experienced in The Chronicles. Maybe it is the lack of a group and the interaction between them that I am missing. I have become a fan of the books where inexperienced warriors become great heroes. This book seemed to be a rehashing of old characters tied into a new save the world plot. I hope in the next two I find more of what I like. It will be interesting to see how the plot unfolds, at the very least.

Dragon Heart - - A new Chosen One is Here

This was my first James D Horton novel - but it won't be my last!!  I really want the next book in the series to come out!!!!!  It was that good.

This is the story of Elise - The next Chosen One. She is also the first female ever capable of shifting into dragon form. The fate of the worlds magic is with her. Should she fail magic will weaken, and more will flow from this world. So no pressure. Also while she looks 17, last year she was only three years old.

Elise has never had a normal life. One night while on patrol she meets two werewolves named Rose and Remy. The first time she has ever had a friend. Of course they meet while fighting a zombie - but they are magical beings so what can you expect?

This is the story of their friendship and how they defeat the zombies, and how they came to be. We are also learning how Elise is coming into her own as the chosen one.

A CAN'T MISS READ!!!!!!!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed & believed the prophecy regarding Donald Trump. It was explained very well & I could see that he is the Hairy Goat the King of the West as foretold in the book of Daniel ch 8. I love Bible Prophecy, always have so I really did enjoy this book.
