Publisher Description
Are you still human if your father was a dragon?
Even though Captain Trip always knew he was a little odd, he's still shocked by the revelation that the elder gold dragon, Agarrenon Shivar, sired him. It's time, however, to accept reality and learn to use his power, even if it alienates him from his magic-fearing friends—and the woman he's come to care about. With enemy dragons threatening to kill or enslave everyone in his homeland, he has no choice.
But even if he becomes a great sorcerer, it won't be enough to fight off all the dragons threatening Iskandia, so Trip suggests a mission to General Zirkander. He wants to lead a team, with the scholarly Lieutenant Ravenwood's help, to locate his sire. Agarrenon Shivar, once respected and feared by his own kind, may be the perfect ally for Iskandia—if Trip can talk him into siding with humanity.
Just one problem: the ancient dragon hasn't been seen for thousands of years, and Trip has no idea how his long-dead mother found him.
Customer Reviews
Very good
I found the characters to be well developed and sympathetic. I couldn’t stop reading.
The plot line is compelling and interesting with twists that flow naturally.
Dragons, Daring Damsels, Daunting Tasks..
I am enjoying this series! The humor is great, the storyline is nothing like anything I have read before. Glad I found these in electronic form...so I don’t have to search for the next book!Binge reading!
A huge disappointment
I have trudged through the contradictions in lore throughout this series up until this book due to its charm but I have stopped reading this book partially through. This book has deeply perturbed me, angered me even. The author skips over training of the main character- this is something character development needs, growth, progress! We want to see it... feel it. That annoyed me but what actually made me throw the book down was when the protagonist conjures the first fantastic natural disaster level of magic done in centuries you’re seeing it from the perspective of someone else, you don’t hear what his soul swords say about it, no one is in awe, it’s treated an unimpressive “oh you can do that now, cool... beautiful weather we are having” and only one person out of the group even does that. The author sucked all the gratification out of this type of book. I’m not reading it further. Just wow. I’m sorry, bad writing needs to be called out. She had a great outline; that is where the greatness abruptly ended.
