Summary

Dragons are a lusty lot known for grinding their lovers into dust. Talan’alaith’illaria is no exception and has found no man or woman her match or equal in a thousand years. That changes when Raine, the sole survivor of two mythic races, stumbles across the ancient dragon queen in her lair. Raine possesses her father’s strength and her mother’s passion, and the combination ignites the dragon’s desire to an inferno. Talan, greatest of the 12 ancients, at last finds her perfect lover.

Their domestic bliss does not last long, however, as events conspire against their peace. The Hyr’rok’kin, monstrous demons of the underworld, are spewing forth from the Empty Land. Raine is called to join a band of humans, elves, and dwarves in a quest to stop the invasion. She fears no enemy, no injury, not even death itself. But something is waiting at the Gates of Hel, something that seeks to separate Raine from the dragon she is bound to for all of time.

One of the most memorable book series ever

There is no doubt that the start of the series is mostly a bit of fun. But there are hints of the greatness to come. Some superb ideas deployed in this book that truly get fleshed out later.

I will warn you that in pretty much every book there will be a relationship that is ... challenging. They could so easily fall over the line into abuse, but the author flirts with that line, and probably will move the line while you're not watching. The later stories certainly made me re-think some of my preconceptions about relationships and what can work. But beware, some situations are very uncomfortable.

Besides that, these are excellently written - a wide array of characters that are all easy to keep track of, well plotted with enough intrigue to keep you guessing but not so much that the plot is confusing. Moments of humour to lighten the tone.

And lastly - it's worth reading to the end. I read these back in 2016. I re-read them. Now the audiobooks are out I HAD to get them and listen to them again. The story really draws me in.

I will forgive the narrator the occasional strange pronunciation choices - their work is superbly done.

This is the only book I will write a full review for. Anyone who reads this and enjoys the first book will almost certainly enjoy the others.
