Review by: Tiffany Martin

At the opening chapter, we are witness to Atani's (aka Dragon) destruction of Coll's Ridge and the family of thieves and bandits residing there. Only a handful of survivors - among them, "The Bastard" Treion, Dragon's paternal 1/2 brother and Treion's 1/2 sister Maia, although they presume each other dead. Atani continues to command the loyalty of his people while continuing to fight the stigmatism of his father's madness.

Atani finds Maia living in her mother's old cottage, and as things proceed slowly, they fall in love. She knows and loves him as him and as Dragon. Meanwhile, Treion is captured and ends up at Dragon Keep with Atani. He is eventually reunited with his sister and pledges fidelity to Atani after Atani rescues him and saves his life. The surprise at the end will keep you reading, although, in a way, it is expected.

Lynn definitely captivated me with her characters and depictions of a far off land. I can hardly wait to get my hands on "Dragon's" other stories. It is definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to a story about dragon's and fantasy, as so many are retelling stories in different ways. It also shows that deep down, all of us have a dragon within us, most times rearing it's head when we are angered. This is a definite must read for any dragon lover out there.
