Dragons. Magic. War. In a mystical world where Dragons reign, one
mysterious duo of wizards rise from the shadows to even the battlefield.
New
York Times bestselling author, K.N. Lee presents the fourth installment
in the fast-paced, thrilling epic fantasy adventure that swept the
world away with the #1 international bestseller critics are comparing to
Rick Riordan's young adult novels, Half-Blood Dragon.
The lines
are set. Wizards versus Dragons, and as queen of Withrae, Rowen finds
herself faced with the fate of the kingdom in her hands.
Her
crown binds her to the palace, even someone she loves dearly is
kidnapped by the Trinity brothers who rule in the southern islands of
the human realm. She must find a way to protect her family without
abandoning her duties. There's one young man who can help her, the
scribe who once worked for her father. Together, they hatch a plan to
stop the war, protect both the humans and the Dragons, and prevent the
prophecy Rowen has always dreamed would come true.
The end of the world.
As
a curse plagues all of Draconia, preventing its people from shifting in
their Dragon form, Rowen and Rickard will come face to face with their
darkest nightmares, and the truth of the red dragon from Rowen's
prophecies will be revealed.
Embark on a magical journey
packed with heart-pounding action and a dash of romance that fans
compare to George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, Sarah J. Maas's Court
of Thorns and Roses, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The dragon-born series is the first thing that I have ever read by author K.N. Lee and I must say that I am impressed. Though I am a late reader of the series, it worked out to my advantage. I did not have to wait and wait for the next installment in the series. So yes, I have read books 1-4 back to back. I do believe War of the Dragons is my favorite book thus far. The subtle love stories entwined with action and adventure creates a marvelous story. I was rooting for several characters while others simply make me dislike them. Only a good story and a good author can accomplish that. War of the Dragons was so exciting I couldn't put it down. Then just when things seemed as though I could stand it no longer, it ended. (frown) Why is it over? Guess I have to wait until the next book comes out.
As an author, I not only love to write but I love to read. Therefore, I am dedicating this blog to book reviews, book spotlights and author interviews that I am doing.

It is time for Rowen to find the courage to accept her fate, awaken her gift, and set the world on fire. Change is coming. So is a new prophecy that threatens the fate of the entire world.
Half-Blood Dragon was a very interesting story. I love how the author
pulls you into the fantasy world of dragons, magicians, and mankind.
What made me want to read this book was the amazing cover and the blurb.
I felt as though it was going to be an exciting story and I am pleased
to say that I was not disappointed! The author's writing style makes me
think of C.S. Lewis and the world of Narnia. I wonder if Miss K.N. Lee
was inspired by those books as a child. The only thing that I did not
like about the books was the profanity occasionally spoken throughout
the book. I ended up skipping over the words when they appeared. I think
the story would still be just as good if the author had chosen to leave
the cursing out of the book. Setting that one thing aside, the story is
quite good. It's captivating! I do believe that I will be reading the
next installment in this series. I have to know what happens next. I
recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy story. Nice job

Another Great Addition to the Bernovem Chronicle
The Medallion by Victoria Simcox
YA
Purchase the book here: Paperback | Kindle
The 3rd installment in The Bernovem Chronicle is here!
This time Kristina’s stayed on in the magical land, to join Hector Mysteria, in the search for the wizard, Azaril Crimson, who’s hidden Bernovem’s Book of Prophecy in the forsaken land of Jalmara. Sentiz is also back and in search of a key item―the Medallion―that she’ll need in order to cast her final spell to rule Bernovem. Things would be much easier for her, if only the whereabouts of the Medallion were known.
Join Kristina as she continues her adventure, on her dangerous journey, where she’ll soar high above the land and seas, on the back of a dragon, barely escape the clutches of death, as well as meet someone from her past she’d never dreamed of seeing in Bernovem.
I must say that I have enjoyed reading The Bernovem Chronicles series by Victoria Simcox. This fantasy series has been one amazing ride of the imagination! Victoria's writing style is much like that of C.S. Lewis; full of imagination with an underlying lesson for all. The third book in the series, The Medallion, The story continues Kristina's journey in Jalmara.This story has adventure, love, and magic. This story is captivating to say the least. You will find yourself on the edge of your seat while rooting for some characters while yelling at those you dislike. I highly recommend not only this novel but the entire series. If you have not had the pleasure of reading the Bernovem Chronicles from the beginning, I advise you grab a copy of the first two in the series. While this book would do well as a standalone, reading the series in order helps to answer some questions for those who started reading with this novel.
