It has been awhile since my last post but I have been busy finishing AWAKEN, Book 1 of the DRAGON LORDS series. Today, I will be introducing the gorgeous and deadly Dragon Lords from the first 2 Books in the series! I can't introduce all who show up in the 5-Book Saga yet but I wanted to show you the first men you will meet! In a few days, I will introduce you to the women who change the shape of the Realm and the creatures who live in Dragone.
In the realm of Dragone, the dragonkin are all but extinct. They have been slaughtered by their own kind. Their histories have been erased. The women are mostly infertile. The magic in the realm has forsaken the people. All seems lost and willing to decay.
Isbet, daughter of the Seer and betrothed to one of the only three semi-dragons remaining, King Brynt, has felt the stirrings of magic. She has foreseen the coming of the dark dragon Narcil, and he will tear the world asunder and bring about a maelstrom of destruction.
In this epic five book saga, Isbet is determined to save her people, her way of life, and to restore glory and dragons back to the realm. Love and destiny will show her the way.
She will come across all manners of love, from her betrothed Lord Brynt, his brother, Lord Damon, a warrior Baric, and a shapeshifting hawk, she will discover what it will take to bring peace back to Dragone.
In Book 1, Awaken, Isbet discovers the dark dragon, Narcil, has chosen two Servants who will free him. Her sister is one of the Servants. She must save her sister Liessa or destruction of her Realm will be inevitable.
Here is an excerpt featuring the hero of AWAKEN. Enjoy!
Slowly, Brynt’s large hands glided down her forearms and reached around
her again, this time around her waist.
He pulled her closer against himself and situated her on his lap. His lips were eager to taste her, to kiss
her, to lick her. Everything that he had
remembered, he had forgotten. The only
thing that mattered right now was loving the woman in front of him. She felt the same. Her arms and hands slicked over his firm back
as she straddled him. There was no
penetration just yet, just the liquid hum of her moans cascading into his.
Yes, that's an evil little tid bit. But we have to move on! :-D
Drum roll, please! This is a man who needs no introduction but if I don't introduce him, what would be the point? Meet the Dragon Lord Damon! Damon is the furthest thing from a hero--he's impulsive, chauvinistic, and rude. There is nothing to like. Damon is the brother of Brynt and the descendant of Lord Aristo. Although he is a cad in this book, in book 3, he will be redeemed! It will be so much fun to watch him grow into a strong and wise man.
Here's an excerpt with Damon. Enjoy!
Damon scratched the back of his neck and pulled on the reins of his
roan horse. The horse whinnied slightly
and begrudgingly trotted. All of the
horses, Damon noticed, were not moving.
Instead, their large black eyes kept staring into the dark forest as if
they knew a predator was watching them.
Their ears pricked in the direction of the woods. Several of them huffed loudly. They were on edge. They were nervous. They were scared.
Damon took a deep
breath and kept one eye on the horses.
Animals were always the first to know when a storm was coming, when an
attack was inevitable. He would watch
them, and let them serve as a warning bell.
Scary stuff! Our next Lord doesn't appear until Book 2 but he is well worth the wait! Let's meet Baric, the last of the Dragon Elite Mechante, a warrior unlike any other. Although he is not a Lord, his lineage is well known. He is the descendant of Lord Stephan. Baric has led a rough life--he was abandoned in the Sewers at a very young age and forced to grow up the hard way. But he overcame his tribulations and grew into a powerful, loyal, and intelligent warrior. He would never betray his country until he meets Isbet, who becomes the wife of Lord Brynt. He would die a traitor's death if he acted on his desires but he knows kissing Isbet would be worth it.
Here is an excerpt from Book 2, Coming in March 2013!
Baric
turned around to face the fire. She was worthy of being a Dragon Elite
Mechante but he had darker, ulterior motives for asking her. He never
wanted her to leave his side. It was a very selfish thing to do but he
couldn’t help himself. He wanted to always have her near. If he
couldn’t touch her, then he would not lose fighting alongside her. He
would not lose her to politics and rules of the Court. He never wanted
her change and if she remained with those snotty Nobles, she would. Their
stink rubs off on even the pure of heart.
He never wanted to see Isbet fall to that.
And, of course, he loved her. He didn’t know if he ever wanted to live
without her. He had fallen for her in such a short amount of time that he
almost believed she had put a spell on him. It was a crazy notion to love
a Queen but the heart does not understand titles or morals. The heart
only knows what it feels.
There are many more heroes and men to be found in the DRAGON LORDS including William, a werewolf who is introduced in Book 3 and can be found in my FREE short story, Forbidden Hearts. Merrick is a Blood Knight sworn to protect Mages and he is introduced in Book 3 (December 2013). He has his very own novella that will be released when Book 3 is. Hawke is a shapeshifting hawk and assassin. His target is Isbet but he's not sure if he will assassinate her. He is introduced in Book 2. Anais (Book 5) begins as a child but grows into a handsome young man and becomes the hero that his adopted mother, Isbet, wants him to be.
I hope you enjoyed this little compendium of heroes. THE DRAGON LORDS BOOK 1, AWAKEN, will be released in a few days for the introductory price of 99 cents! This is an epic fantasy adventure romance (over 300 pages) so it won't stay at that price for long!
If you would like to read the history of Dragone and how the Dragonkin came to be, THE DRAGON'S DESIRE, BOOK 1 of THE HEART OF THE DRAGON Series (Short Story) is now available on both Kindle and Nook for 99 cents!
