In Jaide Fox's The Dragon King Kisah strives to control and understand her feelings for Balian the last Dragon King.
Princess Kisah's father has prearranged for the mightiest warriors in Wyverns to battle one another for his daughter's hand and the kingdom. Kisah hopes to find a warrior that she will be able to manage, instead she meets Balian.
Balian silently enters the land of his enemies in search of his mate. As he romances Kisah, she rebuffs him. If she is able to perceive his openness and sincerity, then she may discover a partner instead of a warrior, a lover instead of a brute.
The Dragon King is a hypnotic tale of malice, ardor, love, and jealousy. Jaide Fox powerfully portrays Kisah's need to control her own fate, which frustrates her self-awareness. Balian must overcome his inability to believe Kisah before they lose each other.
Jaide Fox's clever saga of passion, fear, hope, and devotion mesmerizes the reader from beginning to end. Overall, I found myself holding my breath in aspiration that Kisah and Balian would be able to see past their pride and discover love. I hope that Jaide Fox will continue to enchant us with tales of Shadowmere and its people.
