Theft of Dragons

Princes of Naverstrom #1

by John Forrester

Tael Shalinor endured the horror of watching his parents murdered when he was twelve years old. The Black Heart Clan assassins have hunted him ever since. In the six years that have passed, King Braxion continues his ruthless tyranny against citizens and neighboring Kingdoms alike. He controls the dragon nobility through powerful spells of beast shamanism cast by the Hakkadians, sorcerers from the northlands.

Princess Sebine, the girl the King believes is his daughter, plots to one day break free from the palace and discover the mystery behind her true father. Tempted by the lure of sorcery, she studies in secret with the Hakkadians in the palace dungeons. When a merchant from the east delivers her the Ring of Galdora as a gift from the Elven Kingdom of Drazal'tan, the course of her life will change forever.

Interesting

Great first read with dragons and magical times as they are intertwined with the lives of those surrounding those with love.

No ending!

I don't like when books don't end! 4 stars for excellent writing, good characters, and good world building. I would have preferred some kind of resolution to the story.

This was a good read. I found it a bit long winded in places and almost put me to sleep. But I kept going and found it is a good story all in all. The author needs to take the boring parts and spice it up abit. If you decide to read this, I believe you won't be disappointed.

Good start to a new series, but it could be more....feels very formulaic. All the right elements throw in and stirred...could be more
