The Drákon Legacy #4
Ruler
When lies rule, only the ruthless survive.
Secrets pile up, thick and suffocating. The more we uncover, the less we understand.
The storm brewing beneath the surface is turning into a tsunami, ready to obliterate everything—and everyone—I care about.
The Tribunal isn’t just real; it’s a secret known only to the Drákon Leader. But their only loyalty is to themselves.
They’ve betrayed me, lied to me, and taken something I hold dear.
I’m Acacia motherf*cking Kronos, and I’m coming for them. They’ll regret ever crossing me.

Let’s start off with WOW!!
This series completely gripped me from book one and I can’t believe it’s over. I’ve absolutely loved every minute with these characters, they were so well created and I found myself in love with them individually and as their own little family.
These books have been such a wild ride, and this one was the most action packed yet, I knew a trope was secrets but I did not expect as many twists and turns as there were and the more than happened the more I was reeled in - and the deceptions too, my, my it was just so well put together 😱
On top of all that it’s definitely got the spice factor, I seriously feel that if I wasn’t gasping over the next twist then I was gasping over the bedroom activities, they were HOT 🔥 and when they all came together, I’m speechless.
what to expect:
🔱Dark WhyChoose romance
🧡Secret Society
🔱Age-gap
🧡Secrets & deception
🔱Forbidden & taboo relationships

1st person/multi pov
Spice: 4.5/5
Well, here we are. Ruler closes out this series with Acacia and her men trying to figure out how to move the Kronos Society into the future so that they can rule the way they want to instead of the way they have to. And because nothing is ever simple when it comes to the Kronos Society that’s not all they have to face along the way. Cia, Kai, Gus, and Liam are drawing closer to finding out who is moving the proverbial chess pieces behind the scenes in their world, and with that secrets are unfolding that no one saw coming.
I love the way this book, the whole series really, is written in a way that has you hanging on every last word. As soon as you know something is about to be revealed you still don’t get hit with that right away. The characters and the story kind of talk around it a bit allowing the information to gradually unfold before you. It builds up more suspense throughout the books and is incredibly entertaining. I also love how there’s so much within the writing that relates to Greek mythology. With the Drákon family being so centered around that mythology I would expect nothing less.
I also really loved how the relationships between the guys developed and how they have this new kind of bond with each other as a unit. They seem to support each other more in this stage of the series and it’s obvious they’ve grown to care about each other as well. They truly became a family and it was great to see after all they’ve been through together. Plus it led to some teasing and bantering back and forth between them (especially Gus and Liam) that had me laughing a few times. It was adorable. The spice was so freaking hot of course as it has been the whole series. There were even a couple of moments that had me fanning myself because the scene was so emotionally charged it made the spice even hotter. So you’ll absolutely be satisfied in that department. 😉
Overall it’s a great ending to a great series. Pretty much everything important that I wanted to get wrapped up got closure in one way or another and it seems like some doorways were left cracked in case other stories are written down the road. I highly recommend this series especially if you’re a big fan of secret societies because this one has so much weaved into it that you’ll never want it to end.

I liked the first book and maybe half of the second but it went downhill after that. I thought the fmc was gonna be a badass but she ended up being a baby. She whined and acted all big and bad but would then get her ass beat. She was nothing without the guys but she constantly treated them like crap. She didn't deserve them, atleast in the beginning but by the last book they were running all over her. So not only was she childish and immature but she was also a doormat. The books were also to drawn out like it could of easily been a trilogy no need for 4 books. I'd rate the whole series as a 2.5 because it was ok writing hut the characters could of needed work done.
****SPOILER ALERT BELOW****
I'm also majorly pissed that the characters decided not to tell the hidden drakons who they were. It was completely irresponsible due to the fact they could be dating there siblings or cousins like yes I get this is a fictional book but that's crossing a line for me personally because it should atleast be known and allow them to know what runs in their family histories. I hate when people are just like ignorance is bliss, no ignorance is irresponsible and doesn't help no one in the long run. The author could of left all this out but no all the characters are putting it to a vote and they're like it's best they not know. This ruined this series even more for me. Lol as you can tell I'm ticked but Its because i have strong beliefs on people knowing who they come from or atleast what runs in the family tree health wise.

This book starts off with a bang! 😉 🥵
It was quite the roller-coaster! All the twists and turns kept me on my toes. So many secrets come out and a few revelations.
Full of action, spice, a little humor and so much more!!
Cia was a total bad*ss queen and she proves it in her growth and actions.
While their relationships were tested, they all grew closer together.
Gus, Liam and Kai were each so vital and important to Cia. They all prove their love and devotion to her and she does the same for them.
Cia and her men have been on quite the journey throughout the whole series and I'm so glad they finally get their HEA!!!

Absolutely amazing final book. Oh mercy was this everything. All the secrets revealed and that bomb drop of a plot twist had me 🤯 wth were they thinking playing God like that. Just blew my ever lovin mind how far people will go in the search of power and greed. I'm not giving anything away just know you are in for a wild ride of epic proportions whew I feel like I've been pulled through the ringer after everything has been said and done. If you've read the other 3 book's do not miss this one as it ties all of them together with a nice big bow. Acacia and her men will be missed, but they deserve their hea after what they've all been through. I would highly recommend but check triggers first.

Well, nothing like starting off the conclusion of this amazing series with a massive bang and continuing at 100 miles an hour! My heart was racing, my adrenaline was pumping, and I was on the edge of my seat right up until the amazing ending.
Cia proves to us all once again that she is a MF Queen and Gus, Liam and Kai will protect her at all costs and support her every step of the way.
Filled with action, suspense, revelations, violence and spice, this was the ending I needed for Cia and her amazing and wonderful men.
What a wild and crazy journey this series was, with so many ups and downs, some twists and turns, but an ending that was so very satisfying!
Loved it!

Cia and her men come across more and more secrets as they try to stabilise their world and society. Trying to make and keep friendships proves difficult when they are amongst the other Leaders and their heirs. There are so many things that go wrong for Cia, Liam, Gus and Kai but I love the way they bounce off and support each other to get through their difficult times. I love their hot and spicy times, and their HEA. A great conclusion to this series!

The Drakon series is coming to an end. Cia and her men have some super sexy time in this book. Several secrets are revealed and there were several twists that I never seen coming. We get to watch Cia grow but then have a bit of regression as well. This ending was truly perfect and unlike other stories with a similar plot.
June 23, 2023
What a great ending to this series. This was a sweet read that is full of action and emotion and perfect ending. Their is so many secrets that aren’t to be spoken about and with this series coming to a ending of Epic discovery. What a great ending to this series. This was a sweet read that is full of action and emotion and perfect ending.

This is the final book in the Drákon Legacy and as always I am sad to see a series end. This comes with twists and turns and reads like a rollercoaster for sure. Up and down and twisting in ways I didn't see coming. Love to see the growth of the characters. Cia being a queen like no other and now having her HEA with her guys. That is awesome and a must read series!
June 27, 2023
What can I say, this was one wild ride. From start to finish, irrevocably hooked. This is a series I will be diving into over and over again. This series is easily in my top 10! Cia and her men are simply everything and the way their journey wrapped up was nothing short of perfection.
I am so sad that the their story is over, but could not be more satisfied with the way it ended!

This journey has ended and did so fantastically. There’s heartache, loss, revelations and revenge. And of course so much yumminess between Cia and her guys! We get so many of the answers we have been waiting for. This series was truly gripping and I’m sad to see the end of Cia, Kia, Gus and Liam.
June 25, 2023
Cia has grown throughout this series. So has the relationship with her guys Kai, Gus and Liam. We get answers, twists and plenty of spice. There is suspense side characters like Lupe and Morgana. And the series wrapped up nicely.

Provides great closure. It was bittersweet because I didn't want it to end. This series is a must read. You won't be disappointed by the twists and turns. It was interesting to see the changes taking place.

This is a heck of a finale and what a rollercoaster of twists and emotions it was! There were revelations and secrets coming to light along with the heat and action. I have loved read Cia's growth. She and her guys have made it a long way and I love how they have come together.
June 26, 2023
This was a good conclusion to Cia's story. Secrets are revealed and everything wraps up nicely. Her relationship with her men continues to grow and change. I liked the support they show her throughout the book. Overall it was a good ending to the series and a good read.

A great ending to this great story!!!! literally do not have words for this story and definitely recommend.
September 3, 2023
Well the last book in the series was by far my favourite. Main characters sorted themselves out and most of storylines tied up neatly. Phew!
June 16, 2023
O...M...G... I LOVED this final installment of The Drakon Legacy series. Following the challenge at the conclusion of Leader, Cia and her men return home where we follow Cia's growth from becoming the intended Drakon Leader into her role as the Female Ruler. Not without several hardships along the way, Cia and her men overcome the Tribunal, find answers to questions asked long ago and find their HEA together with each other and their friends.

What an ending to a fantastic series. I loved how Cia’s men supported her throughout and how they will protect her at all costs. There’s action, spice, violence and romance all thrown in to this series, plus lots of twists and turns to keep you on your toes! A must read series if you’re a fan of secret societies!!
