Rise of the Drakens #7
The Lost King
Destined to become the next King of the Drakens , Prince Fane wants what he can't Sakala, his bitter rival since they were draklings. But this year, something has changed that could end their childhood debate once and for all—Sakala has decided to enter the courtship arena. During the annual hunts where males and females battle to test their compatibility for mateship, Fane sees his chance to finally prove to his kingdom who the stronger and faster draken is. However, he soon realizes that his actions have deep consequences, and his desire for Sakala may have more at stake than just his pride . Will Fane rise to become the king he was meant to be, or will his heart lead him down a dangerous path?

Probably reading the other books in the series would be helpful; however, I still enjoyed this world and the characters!
I have received this book in exchange for an honest review, all opinions are my own!

Thank ya Raven Storm for this e-arc!! This was a very fun fast paced book. I was intrigued by the magic use. And how everything in this world works. I definitely want to go and read the rest of the series. Even though I know this is a stand alone I think it would be fun to see what happened before! Can't wait to read the next one!!

I got to read the e-Arc for The Lost King. I loved this story. Fane and Sakala are so cute. I love a good enemies to lovers story and this did not disappoint. Their adventure was just amazing! It does not matter if you have read the others as this is a stand alone book, but now im going to go read the rest of them.

You like Dragons? You like Royal Dragons in the world of humans? I do... and I definitely liked this book! It was a gorgeous, amusing and thoroughly delightful read. It was so unlike any Raven Storm book I've read, at least the first half was, so lighthearted, so easy to read, the humour wrapped up nicely in very likeable characters. I was smiling through most of the book at the banter and dialogue, the flow was just perfect. The lightheartedness took a back seat about halfway through, making way for tension, drama and action. Not an in your face weapon wielding action but actions of the heart, actions of alliances, actions of the unknown.
I loved the idea of Dragons living a very human like life, you know, mom and dad working, kids being kids. With a slight difference, there isn't a normal dating routine, there's something called the Drakken Games where one participates to find one's mate. It can be brutal but that doesn't stop Sakala from entering, not to find a mate but to find freedom. Freedom from the mundane life she is living, freedom from society's expectations, freedom to choose. But hells bells did this NOT turn out as she expected! Since they were kids, Prince Fane and Sakala have been pitting their prowess against each other, who is faster, who is better, who is more savvy. And neither can stand the other....Fane, well yes, he's rather infantile, getting up to so many things frowned upon but he's the heir apparent and such behaviour isn't appropriate. And when he finds out Sakala has entered the Games, nothing will stop him from entering, trying to best her. I got quite a few giggles out of them, their banter and their reactions to what was happening. And goodness, NOTHING like they expected!
Fate is a fickle thing and fate has manipulated them to such an extent that they are left reeling! I really enjoyed their journey to the mainland, the revelations that literally hit them in the face and the beautiful steady growth of both of them. Although Sakala still tries to deny it all, it was really a sweet transformation of Fane. No longer the spoilt impetuous Prince, he shows his caring and compassionate, he shows his respect and love, not only for Sakala but for all the races at risk from an invasion. Loved watching his evolution! Sakala took a while to get there, but she did. Geesh, her stubbornness was almost her undoing! The powers she gains are so unexpected and so unusual, people either fear her or are in awe of her. I loved the sweet naivety of them both in the beginning and how when shown how sheltered they both had been, their conviction to help, to make a better world where all races, joined in alliance, can prevale against a great evil threatening them all.
The characters we pick up along the are just as sweet and engaging, take Astrid for instance, a half breed witch who's powers are, ummm, different. And Theo, a human Prince, who isn't the scheming self centred human as his father, he truly has the interest at the fore. It wasn't a particularly fast paced book, it steadily progressed in a timely manner, one I certainly appreciated as I followed each action and reaction. I loved the politics playing out, the way each race was S secular, until Fane and Sakala changed all that. These two were an absolute pleasure to get to know! Even though this is a standalone, I really hope the author sees fit to continue with these two unlikely but immensely likeable heros.

While I haven't read the other books in this series, I have read a couple of Raven's stories and was excited to receive this as an ARC. As I read, it dawned on me that this was a standalone in this world which was great! I didn't feel lost navigating the world. I assume there is more world building in the other books but I didn't feel like I was missing anything vital. That said, I will be diving in to the other books to learn more!
Fane & Sakala have spent their lives as rivals. Fane is the King's son and feels like Sakala always has a bone to pick with him. Sakala struggles with finding her place in their world. She doesn't want to follow in her mother's military footsteps, not does she want to be a mate and mother. She just wants to be free. So she decides to join the Draken Games. Intended for drakens to find their mate, Sakala joins with the intent to win her freedom. Fane discovers this and their rivalry drives him to join the games as well.
This is a fast paced, slow burn rivals to lovers fantasy. Fane & Sakala find themselves alone among strangers and their bond grows through various trials. I give this book a 4.75. As I said, the world building wasn't necessary, however it would've been helpful. I should've put two and two together with their species being called Draken, but I read the whole book not realizing they were dragons.
Great job Raven! Looking forward to diving more into this world.

I am immensely grateful for receiving an ARC of Raven Storm's latest Book, The Lost King. I have never read any of the author's previous books and this was my first time delving into her writing style and plot building. The book revolves around the two main characters, Sakala and Prince Fane who hate each other and try to best one another at every opportunity. However, the plot takes a drastic, where Sakala and Fane go on a forced adventure to save each other's lives.
While the book did begin at a slower pace than I usually like, it did get much faster towards the middle of the book. The plot was engrossing and kept me hooked from beginning to end. Nevertheless, I did find that the characters were not very well-developed. I wanted more from the author in her character development while I was being introduced to Sakala and Fane. They felt shallow to me and their sudden change in development halfway through the book from acting childish to now saving the world felt forced and not well explored. Both characters did have distinct personalities that made them feel realistic and I had fun reading the book. I genuinely did know how she would finish the book and was surprised and happy about how the book ended. The world-building was also unique and added to the comprehensive atmosphere of the story. Altogether, I highly recommend The Lost King to anyone who enjoys fantasy novels and is looking for their next great read.

Thank you to Raven for the arc copy of this novel (and sorry for the delay in posting the review). The Lost King is book 7 in the Rise of The Drakens series. Although it would help to read the other books in the series, you can read this as a standalone.
Prince Fane and Sakala have been childhood rivals. When Fane realises Sakala enters the courtship area to prove her strength (not find a mate), Fane decides to join too without the approval of his parents. He soon realises his feelings for her and can’t bear the thought of Sakala ending up with someone else.
When his parents think the are doing a good thing keeping them apart and binding her wings, they decide to run away and in the process have a big adventure that helps them both grow and bond. A large sacrifice from Sakala in an effort to protect Fane ends up bringing many species and groups together to save protect their lands.
This is a slow burn rivals to lovers.
Raven does a really good job of describing the world and characters. You can clearly understand where both Fane and Sakala’s thoughts and feelings are coming from. Even though they start off seeming very young they quickly grow up on their adventure.

4⭐️- love this series, but honestly want a conclusion of the main storyline, I feel like I’m missing something, but it was nice to see Fane and his mate Sakala come together after hearing about them in the original series.
Determined to prove her worth and not be boxed into one roll, Sakala enters the Mating Games in the hopes of winning. This is thwarted, however, when Prince Fane also enters and attempts to mate her on the game field. The King is determined to break the mating, and binds Sakalas wings to keep her away from Fane. Horrified by what the king is doing, Fane flees the castle with Sakala, only to be injured in the process.
On the mainland, the couple must look for help for Fanes wings, and determine a plan of action. They quickly realize that they have been kept in the dark and things on the continent are quickly digressing into war. Traveling around the continent, the couple make alliances and bargains to aid in the upcoming war. All the while, Fane gives Sakala the space she needs to determine if this mating is something that she wants.
So cute, loved how this played out and hoping to get more of the storyline.

I received an e-arc for this book and here's my short review.
I would like to start off by saying that this is a rivals to lovers bookk and its the first book I read by this author and I liked the plot line. It managed to capture my interest and there was never a dull moment.
It starts of with introducing the main characters who are playmates
/rivals who suddenly want to participate in a tournament that is meant for people to find a mate and its held every 5 years. Although they're too young to participate in it, they enter it.
At first they fight their attraction but they quickly give into it. Moreover you notice that fane and sakala are not that mature due to their age however it was not annoying as you might think.
I felt the book finished quicker than I would like but I understand that its part of a series, so Im looking forward to reading the next book.
Thank you for the arc :)

I really have enjoyed this world. This book is a standalone in the world. This story starts out with a prince trying to win a competitor game against his childhood arch nemesis who happens to be a woman. The woman decided to join the mate games so she can her freedom. She feels trapped is struggling to find a place of belonging. The price hears of this and decides to enter. He cannot let her show him up. A whole lot happens and they end up almost mating. The prince’s father interrupts their mating and locks the women away. Together they escape to the human land where there is a whole lot going on. Are these 2 really mates? Can they solve the problems in the human lands? You have to read to find out.
I really enjoyed this story. The banter was stop notch. The spice was just right and there were great side characters and a political intrigue.

The Lost King by Raven Storm is book seven in the Rise of the Drakens Series. This is the first book I’m reading by this author. I haven’t read any of the books before this one but I didn’t feel lost or that I was missing anything. This story was really good, I really liked the world/worldbuilding that was created! This was a fast read as it was also a page turner. It was very descriptive and it was easy to imagine yourself there while reading. I really enjoyed the characters and how they were developed. Reading Fane and Sakala overcoming and flourishing despite what they thought about themselves and what others thought was great. I love a good rivals to lovers story and this had so many amazing moments. This book definitely is making me go and read all the others before it while simultaneously waiting for the next.
Final review:
4 out of 5 stars

Raven Storm kindly sent me this as an ARC.
I had read The Lost Siren and really enjoyed it, so when she advertised for ARC readers, I signed up.
I really enjoy Raven's writing style, it's light, easy to read and has a really good balance between discription, action and conversations. I thoroghly enjoy her world building, I went into this knowing about the lost society of Lyoness so it was pretty cool reading about it prior to it being lost. There were a couple of 'ah I know that person' moments, which was really good fun.
I like how this is not similar or even close to anything else I've read. It's refreshing and ideal for a bit of escapism. Also all the characters are pretty darn cool.
I've put the remaining of the series on my Christmas wishlist.

Fantastically interesting world, loveable characters, fun adventure, what more could you ask for?

We encounter characters from different races, face life threating situations and see the prince grow into his crown.
Then there is Sakala a strong minded independent Draken, who discovers an unknown talent that turns the tides of a war. She is fierce, loyal, and is trying to find her place in the world without loosing herself along the way.
These fun and relatable characters will have you hooked from the start. The twists and turns will keep you captivated and when it's over, you will be wishing for more.

Royal Dragon Romantasy!
This was the first book in the series I've read and wow....It's a lovely light-hearted and easy to dive into action romantasy, with an original plot with lovable characters.
It has dragon shifters (Drakens), royalty, magic, witches, demons, and a sweet and spicy rival-to-friend-to-lover romance that's full of drama and sexual tension.
Fane and Sikala grow so much as characters and it's fun seeing their bickering and denial, against their lust and desire.
Although this is book 7 of the series it can be read as a standalone and makes perfect sense. Very much looking forward to reading the others in this series now! This world is so creative and enchanting.

While this is part of a series this can also be read as stand alone to introduce readers to the series.
Heir to the Draken kingdom Fane cannot bear to see his arch nemesis Sakala compete and gain accolades in the Draken Games, where young draken earn their place in the world, and more likely than not meet their mate.
Sakala enters the games to avoid the expectations of a draken female - while many join to meet their mate, she joins to prove herself worthy of something else.
When they face off in the arena a world of consequences unfold in an enthralling world of magic and destiny collides.

I was given this as an ARC and couldn't wait to read it. It's a standalone that is part of a wider universe Raven has written, so I was glad I could read this even if I hadn't read all the others in the series. The characters are well thought out and I really like the FMC Sakala, she's so relatable, strong with ambitions. I love the rivals to lovers trope in this book, and though I do wish there were chapters about their past and more about what they were like as rivals, I still enjoyed their progression as lovers. It is fast paced but still interesting and engaging. I'd recommend this for fantasy lovers who fancy a quick read.
October 25, 2023
Part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. The Lost King was so intriguing and the story captivating. I enjoyed the strong FMC and the overly eager MMC and how they became close with each other. Knowing their own weaknesses but using them as well to survive. I love how they don’t instantly fall for each other but make sure it’s what the other truly wants. It takes on an enemies to lovers type of feel but is more of a frenemies to lovers. I definitely want to read the rest of the series and would also love to continue this particular story as well.
October 27, 2023
I received this book as an ARC. Thank you Raven Storm for the opportunity to read it.
So, I haven’t read any of the other books in the series but that didn’t hinder my understanding of the world or characters. If anything it makes me want to back track and read the others. I found it to be a really fast read. The characters were likable and I loved watching their story unfold. I’m a sucker for a enemies (can they be considered enemies or maybe just a childhood rivalry?) to lovers. Despite obstacles they stayed true to themselves and inevitably persevered despite the nay sayers (and their own inner doubts). I look forward to reading the next book when it comes available.

With incredible world building, this fast paced and exciting read pulled me in from the get go. Fane and Sakala‘s story is a fantastic enemies to lovers, their banter and interactions are wonderful and their journey is full of action, adventure, mystery, suspense, danger and romance. With twists and turns abound, we watch these two incredible characters and their story unfold around them and no matter what stands in their way, they don’t let it stop them or slow them down. It’s a great stand alone story that makes the other stories in this series intriguing enough to ga back and read them.

Fantastic
More great characters, a unique story with a twist on mating bond and how a dragon kingship is done. I love these dragons. They are fierce and magical. Their world is constantly entertaining. All the witches and their covers have gained my interest and I want more of their stories too. I've noted and all these books their are half breeds. I like that they all have the best qualities of the different breeds. I loved the humor as well
Over all, fantastic read.

I signed up to get the ARC, because I was intrigued and even though it was part of a series, it could be read as a standalone. Let me tell you, I will now read the rest of the series as this was so good I can't wait to know what happened before this.
Our protagonists are very sweet, and I enjoyed seeing their evolution troughout the book.
Overall, I recommand this book to anyone who likes romance with fantasy.

I read this book as a stand-alone with no prior knowledge of this series and I loved it. It was relatively short compared to a lot of books today but I felt that it ended right when it needed to end. The pace was good and didn’t really have any lull moments throughout. It made you want the characters to be together but kept you on the edge of your seat throughout, and with the enemies to lovers they were still respectful of each others boundaries and called to attention a lot of current issues.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I've said this once before and I'll say it again, Raven has such an easy way with words. I flew through this book because not only is the word selection palatable but she explains things so well. This is truly a standalone. You do not need to know any concept of the world in which it is written. The romance is rivals to lovers/childhood friends to lovers and the burn between them is relatively slow due to their denial. Recommend for a nice quick read!

Slow burn enemies to lovers
This one took me by surprise. I didn’t expect to see an enemies to lovers trope pop up in this series.. but man.. you have to love Fane and Sakala.
Against the story is amazing, pulling in the back story for the original 4 books in the series. Things are all starting to come together. Raven continues to keep me on my toes with the plot twists and turns.

I LOVED this book. I had read the first three books in this series before I had to cancel my Kindle Membership, but this book can be read as an individual story! I loved the plot, the character presentation with development as the story progressed. I loved seeing how these characters matured as they faced a problem that was larger than the two of them. I'm excited to catch up on this series, as this book proves the author hasn't lost any of her spark! ❤❤❤ #arc

The Lost King is book seven in the Rise of the Drakens Series but can be read as a standalone. I loved this world and the character development of Fane and Sakala. There is a slow burn romance with witty banter, adventure, magic, suspense and spice. I definitely want to go back and read the previous books in this series.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and I am freely leaving my honest review.

It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wanted more of the rich lands and complex characters! Seeing the growth and evolution of Sakala and Fane was so satisfying. I'm so glad this author has more books for me to dive into to tide me over for the next book!

I love a fantastic story with dragon shifters, wolves shifters, demons and witches. Dragon shifters Sakala and Fane since they were young were very competitive with each other and it gets them in a pickle when they are older. Their story is a slow burn but it is very entertaining to read about the perils they survived and overcame at the end. Very enjoyable book.

This was a great read. So easy to get totally absorbed very quickly. The characters are relatable and you can just get lost in their story. This can be read as a standalone book even though it is part of a series.
All in all a book that I can highly recommend.

This was a fun fast read. I know this was a stand-alone, but I feel like I should go back and read the rest of the series to totally absorb the whole world. But I definitely look forward to going back and reading them.
