Order of the Dragon Knights #2
Dragon Knight's Medallion
To right a wrong, two souls are brought together only to shatter when they are torn apart by the deeds of an evil druid.
Dragon Knight, Stephen MacKay’s powers are altered after the death of his sister. Now he is plagued with visions that threaten to destroy his soul. When Aileen Kerrigan falls through a time tunnel, he vows to keep her safe, despite the fact the beautiful but head-strong half-blooded fae could be the death of him.
When Aileen finds out her dad is a Fenian Warrior, she flees to a nearby ruin. Armed with the medallion her mother gave her, and a matching one belonging to a long dead knight, she is flung into the past and finds a handsome but surly warrior who is on a quest. Now it seems her future could be entwined with his, if she doesn’t kill him first.

Dragon Knight's Medallion the 2nd book in the Order of the Dragon Knights Series was great. I loved it almost as much as the first one. Stephen was sexy, surly, and very serious. Aileen was sweet, and brave. I really liked the two of them together. I did feel they took too long to get together. Not so long that it ruined anything just so long that I was kinda like come on already lol. I liked getting to catch up with Duncan and Brigid. I really loved the way the brothers reunited. It was so cute and Manly! The bad guy just gets eviler in this book. Aileen's dad was super cute and I was sad when. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I'm loving this series. I'm on to Alastair's book.

Not quite as good as the first one for me. Although the story was very good and strong characters I wasn't too keen on both Hero and heroine always thinking of sex. Not that I am against a sex scene but to always be thinking of that is not necessary in the story. It also dragged a little with not enough action in parts.

Dragon Knight's Medallion
(Order of the Dragon knight's Book 2)
By: Mary Morgan
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
The second installment of Mary Morgan's Order of the Dragon Knights envelopes the reader into a world wrapped within the mists of time. Much like the other novels in this series i followed both main characters as they tried to navigate through unknown dangers, fate, and their own stubborn beliefs. This novel has a few key differences from the first novel in the series but many similarities in the story line that at times left me wanting for more diversity.
"They were an ancient order, descended from the great Tuatha De Danann, the Sidhe, or in simpler terms, the fae. Half human and half fae, each one blessed with mystical powers. Each warrior given Holy Relics from the Tuatha De Danann and guardianship over their Dragons."
Much like his brother Duncan, I followed Stephen MacKay as he struggled with his own deep wrought pain and scorn of anything related to his heritage and the fae. Wracked with visions that would leave him incapacitated for days and terrified at what they could mean Stephen was on a path to self destruction as an unknown evil continued to wrap its evil fingers around the lands and Stephen's soul...

The hero is kind of hot and noble but doesn't really feel it. I liked the whole book. It can sit as a stand alone because it explains enough to understand what transpired in previous book. It has all the things you want. I loved all the characters, side ones as well. I almost cried when ......oops, you don't get to see that part. I loved the interaction between the hero and heroine. I don't know why it was such a great book and made me want to be with Stephen, He is just a hunk and someone you want to jump on and tackle. Allie is wonderful too. When she realizes she has what he needs, Wow. Then there is Ian, OMG I just loved the boy. I will have to read again. This is a great book, very intense, loving, laughing, and crying.

DRAGON KNIGHT'S MEDALLION is a wonderful action filled and fast paced time travel fantasy romance. Morgan serves up a great story featuring a strong heroine, a stoic hero, and a powerful evil Druid all wrapped up within a well written story. I'm purposely being vague so as not to give away anything important because most of the good parts are spoilery! The romance is electric and the story engaging. If you enjoy fantasy set in 13th century Scotland featuring a hunky Druid and written in a way that will pull you in and leave you satisfied, DRAGON KNIGHT'S MEDALLION has it all!

Excellent follow up!
I really enjoyed book 1 of this series, and Dragon Knight's Medallion has just as many positive attributes going for it - great chemistry between characters, strong romantic elements, scorching love scenes, painful, torturous moments when you're not sure how it's all gonna work out. All that wonderful stuff that belongs in the best romances! I highly recommend this series!

This is the second book in the Dragon Knight series. Stephen Mackay was keeper of the medallion relic. Stephen ran away to an abbey being built after his sister was killed. The physical work helped him cope with the tragedy.
This is a time when the new one god religion was in conflict against the old pagan religion. By going to an abbey Stephen renounced all of the old pagan relationship to his life with his brothers and the relics. He is befriended by one of the brother monks, who is also a druid.
Aileen Kerrigan is part of the Society of Thistle, that studies and preserve historical herbs and plants, in present day Boston. Her father is an archaeologist, who ran to Scotland after the death of his wife. He is working on the remains of an abbey. He finds something and calls for his daughter and other members of the Society to Scotland. While there Aileen discovers her father is much more than an archaeologist.
The story starts 18 months after Margaret's death, spring equinox 1206. Rome is sending a contingent of bishops to check out the building of the abbey and the conversion of the locals from the local pagan religion. That is used as a cover for other activities by Lachlan. Yes, the evil druid is back and causing problems. Cathal is also around along with other druids.
How Stephen and Aileen cross paths and the quest journey they travel together is another great story. Aileen meets the great dragon. We meet Liam and Rory who are fae warrior brothers to Conn and don't look like Viking warriors.
I found the conversations surrounding the old and new religion conflict interesting. Brother Osgar especially is of interest being a druid and a monk.
Looking forward to reading about the next brother's quest.

Thoughts: I fell in love with the Dragon Knight series with book one which was the story of eldest brother Duncan McKay so I was anxiously awaiting the release of the next brother's story. I was excited to learn that book two would be Stephen McKay's story.
We learn about Stephen McKay through the telling of Aidan Kerrigan, an old Fenian Warrior, and pieces of what lies ahead for Aileen Kerrigan based on writings in an ancient journal of Stephen's. Aileen learns that her father gave up his immortality and his standing as a well renowned Fenian Warrior for a life with his soulmate who was human with fae heritage.
Aileen's mother had visions and had one that showed Aileen's death in Scotland so they kept her heritage from her. It wasn't until after her mother's death a year earlier and the request of her father that she and her group of friends visit him in Scotland to view the relics that he'd found. During one of her walks she finds a stone medallion which she realizes matches the stone pendant that her mother had given her. That also belongs to Stephen McKay.
As the story progresses Aileen learns of her heritage becoming angry with her father and eventually hears him talking with Liam, who is also a Fenian Warrior, about the veil and becomes frightened which causes her to run from them at which time she finds herself falling into a time portal. She wakes to find herself in the thirteenth century.
She finds herself in the same tunnel with none other than Stephen McKay. They but heads from the beginning. They feel the pull there is between the two of them. There are many trials and tribulations that they must overcome to find what they are looking for.
Can they right a wrong? Can Stephen MacKay find love? Can Aileen heal his soul? You'll cry, you'll cheer, you'll scream but you'll have your answers by the time you turn the last page.

This series is well written with so many characters that you cannot help but get attached to. The story lines are well developed and have you wanting to keep listening to find out how all the characters were going to make out. I really enjoyed this second book of the series. The author had my heart reaching out to both Stephen and Aileen and brought tears to my eyes more than once. I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to book 3.

Originally Reviewed For: Tea and Book
In a time almost forgotten when the church was just coming to Scotland, when it was considered the "New" religion there were Druids. Individuals determined to serve the land first.. to obey their gods and goddesses, to accept the magic that flows through the world and to live at peace with others. Too bad the rest of the world doesn't quite agree.
In Mary Morgan's exciting Order of the Dragon Knight's Series we find a family caught in the middle. Raised to serve the old ways with an ancient druid family line, the MacKay's were the chosen of the fae. Until a single vile act, on holy land no less had their relics taken from them and a curse put upon their family. Devestated they stumbled and went their own ways, running from who they truly were. But they are slowly finding redemption.
First it was Duncan in Book Dragon Knight's Sword and now it's Stephen. In another exciting story with the magic of love lighting it's way.
Aileen Kerrigan was a pretty normal woman, yes she and her family & friends followed the old ways but they held jobs, had relationships, watched their families die and dealt with life in general. But when her estranged father called her to Scotland Aileen discovered an entire new part of her life. Seems Daddy actually owned a Scottish castle and if that wasn't weird enough. The minute Aileen landed in Scotland she began experiencing extreme measures of deja vu. And still there was more. After overhearing her father and best friend discussing some weird information, Aileen literally fell through the rabbit hole and landed in 13th century Scotland. Almost on top of an ailing Stephen MacKay.
Stephen MacKay was a member of a cursed family. When his sister was killed and his artifact taken away, his visions turned from useful tools to painful experiences that told him bits and pieces. He should be looking for his lost heritage, he should be trying to redeem himself to his goddess, instead he is holed up in a monastery learning about the 1 true God. When Bishops descended upon the abby, trying to unearth pagans, Stephen learned that his past had just found him. He knew he needed to help the Druids escape torture and "cleansing". What he didn't need was this chatty fae trying to heal him.
Aileen and Stephen are miles apart in philosophy and not because they come from different centuries. Aileen has found the path of love and joy while Stephen has locked that away. But everything isn't coming up roses for Aileen, she has a lot to learn. Especially about just who her father is...
While they are trying to lead the Druids to safety they learn that they are also running from an ultimate evil. A powerful Druid who has given his life over to evil. Who wants power above all and knows that the MacKay artifacts will give that to him. And he doesn't mind doing a little torture along the way.
Another beautifully done story by Ms. Morgan it totally lives up to book 1. An adventure filled with passion and power. Two souls destined to be together if they can conquer their fears and look towards a future, instead of letting the past define them. The must forgive themselves first then those around them.
Truly a wonderful book.

Mary Morgan writes a mean story. I’m really excited about this newbie author. She articulates a fantasy world that surrounded me in all its wonder! This one was awesome. She kept me reading way longer than I should have. I COULD NOT put the book down. The intensity and emotion she elicited in me, kept me in tears. Once I thought I was past the emotional scene, I’d dry my eyes and she’d put me right back bawling my head off. Do you know how hard it is to read and cry at the same time? You have, if you’ve found a well-written book with highly emotional scenes. And you will if you pick up this author.
I praised the author’s first book, Dragon Knight’s Sword and said it had everything. Here’s the link to review of book one.
http://wp.me/p40XtX-E7
This one tore me apart.
Stephen MacKay, like his brother Duncan, in book 1, had to redeem himself for the wrong committed on holy ground at the Standing Stones. He wanted to turn from the old ways: From the fae, druids, gods and goddesses. He hid from himself while staying with the monks of an abbey, trying to block the horror of his past, and his feelings of unworthiness, yet unable to take the old ways from who he was. But his destiny and the path to redemption was waiting him. Among the brethren were druids who were interested in bridging the old ways with the new. He sensed in them only good.
When Rome came to cleanse the community of people believing in the old ways, Stephen decided to make himself useful by protecting, Ian MacDuff, a young 10-year old who was ordained to be the next Master Druid. Stephen’s path isn’t easy and he doesn’t believe it is possible to be redeemed, nor does he feel worthy to be a Dragon Knight. He helps a community of fifty or so people escape the cleansing only to be followed by the evil druid, Lachlan, whom we met in book 1.
Stephen had also lost the holy relic that had been bonded to him. His brother, Duncan, had regained his sword in book 1. Book 2 is the story of Stephen’s journey. When the holy relics were torn from the Dragon Knight’s, the Guardian had placed a curse upon all four brothers who were removed from the Hall of Orders:
“Across the sea their destiny awaits. A love will meet through time and space. “To right a wrong within this place. Beneath the gate to test your fate.”
Help once again comes from another time and land. Aileen Kerrigan enjoyed her life in Boston, Massachusetts. She lived in an old mansion over 200 years old, and worked with her friends and aunt in the Society of the Thistle.
Aidan Kerrigan, Aileen’s father, left her a year ago when her mother died. She was devastated and more so when her father left a week later to the archeological digs in Scotland. Now, he has asked for Aileen with the society to assist in doing research at Arbroath Abbey. What could he possibly want from her?
Aileen was a woman who loved her father, though she felt he had betrayed her. She was protected by Stephen, a man she had come to love. They protected her body, keeping her safe, but what of her heart? Could she be strong enough to fight where she didn’t want to be?
As with the first book in the series, Mary Morgan has created a world with her imagination teaming with magic and the knowledge that not always can your destiny be channeled by your own efforts. Take a chance with a new author, kind reader. She is well-worth the read.

Mary Morgan's Order of the Dragon Knights series continues with the second installment, Dragon Knight's Medallion.
This story follows the journey of quest redemption of Stephen MacKay, A member of the MacKay clan from the 11th century, Stephen was one of four brothers who deeply grieves the death of his sister Meggie upon holy ground. The night of her death, all four brothers were chastised by the Guardian who removed their sacred relics. Stephen's relic was the medallion. He also has the gift of seeing into the future. Although when seeing a vision, Stephen experiences head pain and seizures. Stephen exiles himself from his home of Urquhart Castle in Scotland. He finds a small bit of solace in Arboath Abbey, learning and accepting the 'new' religion of Christianity.
In present day, Aileen Kerrigan lives in Boston, MA. After the death of her beloved mother a few years back, Aileen's father left for an archeology dig in Scotland never to return. Aileen ended up living in her family home with her Aunt Lily and other members of the Society of the Thistle. The society deals with history and preservation of historical herb and plants. Each member of the society has a unique gift, being psychic or healing. Aileen's gift is being a psychic. Naturally, there is a bit of friction between Aileen and her father. After the death of her mother, Aileen felts her father abandoned her when she needed him the most. Because of her own grief, she was unable to understand her father's own grief of is loss.
Just as in the first book of the series, Aileen is brought to Scotland to fulfill her destiny.
Being that the setting and many characters were set up in the first story, the pace of this story is much smoother. Dragon Knight's Medallion was an interesting story which made it an good read. Mary Morgan has excellent writing skills and must have terrific editors as there are few (if any) spelling, grammatical or sentence structure errors in her books. I would encourage a reader to start with book one of the series before reading this book.

I really enjoyed this story :)
Stephen and Aileen were every bit as good together as I thought Duncan and Bridgid were in the first book. I never got bored, and was always excited to see what would happen next! This is a historical romance but also set in the current times. I'm not a huge fan of historical but these books don't go to heavy with it and I think it makes the alpha heros much more believable being from the past. Strong Scottish tortured hero, the second brother to go on his quest for redemption, with the aid of Aileen who was sent through time with Stephens medallion by the Fae.
All of the brothers in this series are living cursed for being responsible for the death of their sister one tragic night long ago. Their women travel back in time, so it's a hero from the past and heroine from current times, which I love.
It was thrilling and suspenseful, and I loved the added bonus of Aileens father and Liam. The whole banter between Stephen and them is pretty funny. Aileen seemed childish at times but it didn't take anything away and I guess if I were in her shoes I would be acting sort of the same way, though I didn't like the way she treated Liam. :(
My heart went on a roller coaster of emotions with this one, and I live for that! I got my happy ever after, after my heart broke in two for a minute. I wish there could of been more time with just Stephen and Aileen after they committed to each other but other then that I probably wouldn't change much.

Similar, yet different, and totally entrancing. The second erstwhile Dragon Knight is in search of his lost talisman, and finds an unexpected destiny. Loving the series!
November 22, 2015
I love this series. Ms. Morgan's Dragon Knights are hot and mysterious. I can only hope for more, more, more.

Really enjoying listening to this series, although, the little snippets at the beginning of each chapter seems unnecessary and at times confusing.. Especially during the audiobook
June 13, 2020
I am both listening to and reading Mary Morgan's Order of the Dragon Knights series. Dragon Knight's Medallion is a taut, emotional romance. It has enough twists and turns to make you want to read or listen through the night. Better still, it never has the sort of unnecessary angst that sets your teeth grinding. Stephen and Aileen are beautiful together. They don't take forever to figure out that they love each other. But can they be together? They suffer so much. With a sexy, sensitive hero, and a smart, reasonable heroine, time travel, and the beautiful Scottish highlands in the background, Dragon Knight's Medallion is an intense, emotionally-satisfying, historical romance.

This was a very good story. I enjoyed it very much.

It is with great pleasure that I dipped back in the universe of MacKay and the magic which surrounds medieval Scotland. After Duncan, it is the turn of Stephen, that seemed ready to make a fresh start but also is the one who buries more his head in sand. Fortunately there is a splendid young woman, dynamic and full with magic which will fall in him from above and mess up his universe. Although I preferred the first book, I spent an excellent moment with this so epic adventure and fantasy.
Stephen is the most sensitive of the phratry, what is explained partly by his power, the one of premonition. Although he had seen his sister's death, he did not anything to interfer and is upset with himself in a rather violent way. He became a dark, empty being which does not expect anything from the life. He disavowed his origins and what he is, but it is not easy when he have horrible visions, an affinity with water and the respect of all the magicians of the kingdom.
Aileen is an young woman from the 21st century which was always rocked in the magic and uses her knowledge to gain her life. Surprisingly, we already know her father since he had partly help Brigit. But we are astonished to learn that he is a Fenian warrior, the most powerful and is respected. He withdrawn because of love. Aileen is described as being a great beauty, proof of her fae heritage, but also a true blockhead which does not give up and it is a good thing for Stephen.
These two there will run behind each other during almost all the book and when they finally decide to pass to the serious things, they are separate. We saw coming the thing, therefore we are not very astonished by it. However the consequences of this separation are surprising. Their lovestory is however an obviousness, they cannot fight their destiny. But I appreciated that they put sticks in their wheels in order to better understand Stephen's state of mind. The manners of this time and the power of the beliefs are understood.
As regards the intrigue, we find ourself in full witch's hunting, Stephen protects them and finds himself againt an old well-known adversary: Lachlan. We finds other known heads, continuing the battle of the research of the relics, the defense of the Dragon and, of course, of time travel thanks to the Fenians. We takes again all that functioned in the previous book and we adds a good amount of dramatic. The end is once more merry and opened, I all the more want to know which will be the next brother to see his convictions reconsiderate.

I absolutely loved this book; riveting and explosive makes this read one of my favorites in 2014! There is romance, mystery, and the characters are just superb. The intensity of this novel is so satisfying which makes it that much more entertaining.
Mary Morgan has done it once again in this second installment of the Order of the Dragon Knights Series. I would not change a thing about this book. I laughed, cried, and danced with glee; a book that can make you do those things, is a book you will remember forever. Plus, lets be honest ladies: What’s better than a highlander? NOT MUCH!
I would read this novel again and again! The plot gets better and only thickens with time. You can also read this as a stand alone, which I would not suggest because the first book is just as good as this second one. So why not read them in order?
CLICK HERE to buy Book #1 in the Order of the Dragon Knights Series, “Dragon Knight’s Sword,” on Amazon.com
This book was written with such an enormous fire to it, and the flames blazed! It was scorching me and I welcomed it all.
The heroine in this novel was adorable, fiery, sophisticated and admirable. I was so happy when she found out how much Stephen really needed and wanted her. She was perfect for him and he was the man she needed in her world. Aileen was one lucky lady; falling through a portal, finding the man of your dreams, and fulfilling your world with pure excitement is something any one of us would try at least once, RIGHT?
So are you ready to travel through time and find your man of wonder? Take a walk on the wild side with Mary Morgan’s second installment in the Order of the Dragon Knights Series. You won’t be disappointed; you will read the last page wishing there was more. But, all good books eventually have to end. So lets all keep our fingers crossed for the third to come out soon.

Dragon Knight's Medallion is part of an exciting time travel series that continues with this second book to be entertaining and intriguing. After the first book, I was looking forward to the next brother having the family curse lifted from his shoulders. I did not realize that I would again get to first the first brother, Duncan and Brigid along with their new family. It was great to catch up with them and see two of the brother finally reunited. Again, the villains are evil and the lovers passionate.
The relic needed to lift the curse is returned through their lover from another time and place. How great is that! I enjoy seeing how Stephen and Aileen come to terms with both past and present. Then they work together to lift the curse, which includes the guilt on this MacKay brother’s shoulder. Aileen Kerrigan is Stephen’s soul mate but the journey to him understanding and accepting this is at the heart of the story.
An old diary plays a great part in this story along with the dragon, which only adds to the suspense of this tale. Aileen has her own resentment towards her father, Aidan Kerrigan, an old Fenian Warrior. I really like how her heritage is woven into the story.
As in the last book, the cast of secondary characters are well written playing an integral part in the success of Stephen and Aileen. I especially like Grian, Stephen’s horse as well as the boy, Ian. Perhaps when the brothers are all together again and Ian is grown, he can have his own adventurous story. Perhaps there could be a spin off series on the children picked up along the way by the MacKay Brothers. This would be fine with me since I adore this medieval world that Mary Morgan has created.

Get ready to experience withdrawl symptoms well before this story is finished and a massive book hangover after finishing Dragon Knight's Medallion. Well, I experienced both after the first book Dragon Knights Sword as well. This second story in this series will grab you and keep you absolutely glued from beginning to end. The characters Aileen Kerrigan and Stephen Mackay were very well suited although I did find Aileen to be somewhat melancholy in the beginning but she begins to shine once the story really develops, when she goes back in time. Secrets were withheld from her and her grieving and the anger towards her father, the reader could actually feel the hurt, pain and turmoil Aileen was going through and emphasize with her. Stephen was holy smokes, HOT!!! I loved how his character wasn't cave mannish with him being medieval and all. Because of his suffering, the reader was able to fully emphasize as well with his plight. You had your evil catalyst and if there were a stronger word for Lachlan, he'd be solely entitled to that name. He makes you cringe inside with his pure evil. We just got a sample of him in Dragon Knights Sword. In this story, Lachlan was more cringe worthy, creepier. Well done Mary for delivering such visual imaging not just of who Lachlan is, but of all of the characters, main and secondary and the events unfolding. I want a Liam, err, no Conn, maybe both in my life. Can't wait to see who the fae hunks will be like in the next books. Oh bequeath my fluttering heart!! All in all, a truly wonderful read that does leave you somewhat, oh hell, a whole lot breathless and without a doubt, waiting to dive into the next story. I'm saying this now, I got dibs on the fae hunks ladies.

Stephen is one of the cursed Dragon Warriors. His curse leaves him in debilitating pain after a vision. This once was handled better when he had his medallion. But, that is gone and so is his respect for the religion he once was so entwined. Meanwhile, in present day, Aileen’s world is flipped on its side when she realizes her parents have been hiding her true heritage. She chooses to run from this over abundance of information and in doing so falls into a time tunnel. This is where Stephen and Aileen’s worlds converge in a destiny that has been foretold. The more these two fight fate the closer they become. As they become even more entwined they realize that a future without the other would be unbearable but there are forces set out to destroy them and the relic that they hold.
I loved this installment of this series. Stephen and Aileen were great characters and you immediately fell for them. I also loved the intricacies of this story. The added complexities of this story really brought this series to a new level. The dialogue and imagery within the story is fantastic. It really melds the historical romance of 13th century Scotland and present day. This story really makes any woman want to find a Scottish relic in hopes she will find a rugged highland warrior. Overall, this was a great book and I highly recommend this series. I know I will be waiting with bated breath for the next in the series.

DRAGON KNIGHT'S MEDALLION.
BY MARY MORGAN.
This is the second book in the series. It can easily be read as a stand alone.
Although you would know the final result of the first book this one wouldn't spoil it for you.
Aileen is a modern woman with an affinity to the earth magic. After her mother's death her father buried himself in his work in Scotland. Aileen is pleased when he sends for her to help him, but is still cross with him for abandoning her. When she gets to Scotland she finds that her parents have been hiding a lot of family secrets. When she runs off in a temper she stumbles through a veil in time, and meets a warrior that is groaning in pain. Steven is a dragon Knight who has been punished by the Fae after the death of his sister. He has lost all belief in his position as a dragon Knight and hates the Fae for what they have done to him and his family. The druids are being persecuted by the new church. So must hide from them and a powerful enemy who is looking for vengeance. Steven has taken on the task of protecting them.
This book has everything I look for in a good story. Sexy Highlander knights, time travel and magic. The characters are strong and great fun. The boy Ian is lovely. The storyline keeps the pages flying by. I will be reading the rest of the series when it is written, and am going to get the first one to read soon.

Oh my! Dragon's Knight Medallion was truly wonderful. This series is about a quest for redemption of the Dragon Knights and their discovery of their soulmates.
I loved how Aileen Kerrigan, the heroine, discovers herself and background. This was fantastic!
Stephen MacKay was a tortured soul...all the MacKay brothers are. I loved Stephen so much and I loved that Aileen was no push over. I was so in love with her father Aidan's plight. This Fennian Warrior's whole plight brought tears to my eyes. I wept during parts of this amazing story. I also laughed. That to me says a lot about this author, when she can touch a reader in that way.
I hope this author tells all of the Fenian warriors stories throughout this amazing series. Also, Liam...oh my...how can you not want to fall in love with him. I am curious to know his fate in future series.
All of Mary Morgan's characters are extremely likeable and relatable. Readers will adore them. The detailed and passionate love scenes are fantastic and are a must for my taste and this author does not disappoint.
The Dragon Knights, the Fae, the druids, and the Fennian Warriors will completely delight you. Discover this amazing series. You will love it!

I cannot begin to say enough and I am sure I will leave things out. This is why I will be short and to the point. First I must say that I became so emotionally intertwined with the characters that I cried at least three times. In addition, I enjoyed Morgan's depiction of the Knights, the Fae, and the Druids. The imagery associated with their worlds is so beautiful. Lastly, I especially loved the storyline and cannot wait to see how the remaining brothers will fare with the Evil that plagues them. Until then, I will eagerly await the next installment.

Again entranced by couarge...
This series is a remarkable tribute to the imagination of a wonderful writer. Each book delves into the hearts and minds of its characters with sensitivity laced with courage and love. The Dragon Knights are each representative of a different capacity to experience the frailties and disastrous consequences of anger and bitterness. Each must find his control and his love in the quest he is to begin. I loved this book and its journey into the realm of magic gave it sparkle and enchantment. Take the journey... and enjoy.
