출판사 설명
After her Celtic kin proved too big a bunch of bastards to bother with, Rowan sought solace among witches.
The first book in a magic-laced, fast-paced fantasy trilogy. With dragons.
After the Breaking, not much was left. I assumed it was a case of magic gone bad—until I discovered my goddess mother had broken the world. She didn’t like it that I’d turned my back on the pantheon. My long tenure among witches rubbed salt into the wound.
After a confrontation where Mommy Dearest fessed up—and lacked the decency to bat an eyelash about the widespread destruction she’d caused—I was digesting what to do next when a dragon showed up.
Yes. A dragon.
The beast didn’t talk with me or anything, but it flew overhead wreaking havoc on a goblin horde. Witches are old souls with kind hearts, but they’re not particularly strong magically, so I was grateful for the help.
And suspicious as hell. Why a dragon? Why here and why now? More importantly, why was he—she?—helping me? Part of me didn’t want to know, and another part was certain I’d find out anyway.

Dragon’s Call 🌟
What a great start to a trilogy that definitely has its own unique paranormal spin. This author has truly caught my interest and really look forward to the next (2) books in the series. My hope is that “ROWAN” finds her own Dragon-Self but regardless I’ve come across an outstanding read. Also look forward checking out some of the other stories as well. Thank you Ms. Gimpel- love your work. 🤩 -(5) Stars all the way- Cincy Kid 68! 👊
The future is here, and the Gods are not smiling down on us
This story contains dragons and dragon gods Norse gods, Celtic gods, goblins, trolls, gremlins, humans, etc. There’s action, adventure, fantasy, witches, and romance. Everything you could want in one well written dystopian future that I’d hate to live in but loved reading about.
Dragon’s Call
Fated-mates, whirlwind fantasy romance. Strengths lie in combat sequences and the author’s extensive use of Celtic and Norse mythology. This book isn’t dystopian so much as it’s post-apocalyptic and only so to justify the use of modern vernacular. There does seem to be some creatively incorporated fossil fuel themes, but it’s made unclear by Ceridwen’s involvement in the Breaking and Bjorn’s brief comments on overpopulation.
The story unfortunately gets less interesting when it starts advancing the romance aspects, which are underwhelming. Information is rehashed quite a bit even while accounting for the dual narrative, causing the writing to feel a bit repetitive. Rowan’s issues with her mother are so circular it made her forgiveness feel sudden and this book longer than it probably needed to be. Though it may or may not be expanded upon in later books, how this conflict is presented at this point feels anti-abortionist. While the author pokes at discussions of gender, it only really reinforces the binary. There are also a few typos.
This book contains lots of cursing, a heads-up for those averse.
