When
Lucia arrives on the doorstep of the King of Draconia, she had no idea her
destiny would change so dramatically. Or perhaps she was simply fulfilling her
destiny? No matter, she was just determined to save her dying friend, the
dragon Reynor, and to do that she must engage the help of his Knight, Sir Kaden,
or his love, the dragoness Linea.
A waitress in a simple pub, Lucia certainly never expected to return to the
tavern with two dragons, two Knights, and the Queen of Draconia herself in tow!
But it is just this troupe of heroes that arrive in time to help Reynor, for it
is not just his body that is withering, but his spirit as well.
It soon becomes clear to Knights Kaden and Marcus that Lucia is their mate,
fated to complete the union between dragons and knights and round out their
family. But Lucia isn’t from Draconia, and while she has heard rumor of the
strange custom in which two Dragon Knights must marry one woman, she is
uncertain she can go through with it…
If you
have read many of my reviews, it is no secret to you that I am a huge fan of
author Bianca D’Arc, and most especially her
Dragon Knights stories.
You can imagine my pleasure that she continues to imagine new stories for this
fascinating series, and that she seems to have no trouble finding ways to keep
the stories fresh and exciting, as proven once more with the newest edition in
the saga, Wings of Change.
With this new story, we enjoy a return to the ménage theme that began the
series. This scenario guarantees some built-in angst for the story as Lucia
tries to come to terms with the idea of mating with two men, a situation beyond
her experience or the societal norms of her own country. But Kaden and Marcus
are more than up to the task of convincing her that their love is true and
right, with a little help from Marcus’ dragoness, the Lady Linea.
Of course, the relationship between these three isn’t the sole focus of D’arc’s
book – she fleshes it out nicely with some long-hidden secrets about Lucia, some
of which she herself is hiding, and a few of which have been long hidden from
her. As we learn Lucia’s secrets, we see that she may very well be a most
important figure in the future of the war between Draconia and Sskithdron.
The author introduces us to yet another most intriguing new species, something I
believe I’m becoming rather spoiled on! As a long-time lover of Fantasy
stories, my excitement with the introduction of each new creature builds more
and more, expanding not only the horizons within this world, but my interest as
well.
Wings of Change is
the fifth story in the Dragon
Knights series, and will be released in print in the future
anthology, I Dream of Dragons
I. While this book can be read as a standalone without leaving the
reader confused, the story will be best enjoyed if you read the entire series in
order. Trust me, you will not regret it!
