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!
