Description

Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:Hidden among the remote hills of eighteenth-century England lives a powerful clan of shape-shifters who�ve become the stuff of myths and legends. They are the dr�kon�supersensual creatures with the ability to Turn from human to smoke to dragon. Now a treacherous new enemy threatens to destroy their world of magic and glittering power. For centuries, they thought themselves alone at Darkfrith, but the arrival of a stunning letter from the Princess Maricara sent from the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania suggests the existence of a lost tribe of dr�kon. It is a possibility that the Alpha lord, Kimber Langford, Earl of Chasen, cannot ignore. For whoever this unknown princess may be, she�s dangerous enough to know about the dr�kon�s existence�and where to find them. That, as Kimber can�t help but concede, gives her a decidedly deadly advantage. And, indeed, it wouldn�t be long before...… (more)

Thinking I was reading a fantasy novel, I fell into a world of dragons and romance. An interesting and compelling combination which held my attention and has me interested in continuing the Drakon series.
LibraryThing member Mendoza
While I liked this one better than the previous entry into this series it still doesn't come close to The Smoke Thief - the first one.

I didn't like the rushed end that really wasn't an end - it just left tons of unanswered questions and a set up for the next novel. Very disappointing that way.

Drakons, people who can turn to smoke then dragons, hidden in the remote hills of Darkfirth, England. And into this peaceful existence an message arrives from Lia, daughter of the Alpha, telling of a princess in the Carpathian mountains who "is fully one of our kind". While the book contained many

of the find elements of the first two in the series, it also left many unanswered questions which, too obviously, set it up for a sequel.

The only thing about this book was I was told it'd be the last but at the end it left me wanting more and feeling like it wasn't over. If books are intended to be the last in the series in my opinion it needs to leave the reader with a feeling of closure.
LibraryThing member flemmily
This is the most confused of this series so far. There is actually a secondary plot! But it goes nowhere. Not as good as the other two (and the other two weren't all that awesome), but still quick and fun.
LibraryThing member dragonasbreath
It was an amusing little book about an insular WereDragon culture with heavy overtones of your typical Bodice Ripper.
The story moved well and kept me returning to see what would happen next.
The major problem I had with this book is it is part of a triology (at least), and relied heavily on your

knowledge of the storyline as already developed.
While they DID give a quick blurb, it was not as clear as really needed to understand the story.

This is a book about people who turn into dragons - sorta like vampires. So, be aware of what you're getting into. If you don't mind silly, mindless entertainment where you can suspend all disbelief and just escape for a while, this is not a bad way to do it. Fast and easy to read, the story is

well written enough that you won't be annoyed.

This was the 3rd in the Dragon series. The books just keep getting better and better. I enjoyed that there was not many years difference in the book settings. The author kept them close.
this third book picks up almost where the 2nd book left off. It is less than 10 years after the 2nd book

finished.
I am really bias to Shana Abe books. She has 5 house rabbits and supports animals rescue. She is such a wonderful author. I hope to read more of her books in the future.

Queen of Dragons was interesting with letters at the beginning and end and a slightly unusual romance between Kimber and Maricara, both dragons who spend most of their time in human form. Although romance is involved here, the book is largely about the mysterious threat to dragonkind and the two

different dragon communities that Kimber and Maricara come from. It is also the middle book in a series but stands alone fairly well. If I come across the others I may read them, especially the ones after Queen of Dragons.
