Trilogy of Knights #1
The Knight & the Dragon
A worn out knight goes off to kill a dragon, secretly hoping it will kill him and put an end to the life he has come to hate. But when he finds the dragon, nothing goes at all the way he expected.
N.B. This is an old, old set of stories I wrote forever ago. I was content to leave it gathering dust in my stories folder, but I kept getting emails asking about it and so put it up here just for kicks. I think someday when I have nothing better to do, I’d like to rewrite these. I really did have fun writing them.

When I saw the word Dragon in the title just after finishing Dragon Stew, I couldn’t resist.
While this is not the cute sweet read I was maybe hoping for, it is still a worthy tale if you are in the mood for Knights and Kings and a Dragon.
Topaz is a bit different from the Dragons I’ve read lately, but he still contains that spark of humour I so love in my Dragons lol.

Romance, fantasy, magic, and action. It was a little bit of those four, and had a very fast pace to make the story short, which therefore, resulted in lacking of everything.
The sample of that was that the dragon and the knight had the 'chemistry', but the romance didn't happen until the ending.
It's not that satisfying, but it was a good short read. I think that it was an interesting story, and has definitely a good plot to make a real book. I hope it will be one in the future.

A 3.5 for the writing, as Megan Derr herself says the story is old and has its flaws, but a heartwarming piece nonetheless.

I love me a story about a dragon and a human (most often warriors of a kind) finding love.
Can be read as a standalone, but if you like this one you will also like the other two so do yourself a favour and read all three ;)
Here we encounter a knight captain tired of battle and death, only wishing to be free, but denied freedom by his king. He sets out so hunt a dragon, seeking his own death. The dragon has other plans, though, and seeks his own freedom. The two of them set out to achieve it together.
Derr writes on her website that she will rewrite the trilogy if she ever finds the time and motivation and I sure hope she does! I would love to read these stories in more details with more on-page development ♥

A little, small, kind of "fairy-talish" story - a typical Megan Derr.
As always a light enjoyment for in between longer books, concealing some very melancholic moments and deep thoughts underneath the seemingly airy flow and lighthearted feeling of her stories.
The next two parts in this series are definitely worth your while as well if you enjoyed this first one!
