For twenty-something years, Cian lived an ordinary life. Then his heritage awakened. Then his enemies noticed. Then everything went to hell.
A dragon's natural charisma or something more? Cian’s supernatural family grows stronger by the day. Vampires who should drain him, shifters who should fear him, a necromancer who should kill him. Together they're rewriting every rule the magical world lives by.
Someone really doesn't like that. Someone with the power to do something about it.
The enemy hides behind proxies and pawns. Mercenaries who shouldn't know about dragons arrive with specialized weapons. Vampires and shifters who've been enemies for centuries suddenly coordinate attacks. Government agencies that monitor magic turn blind eyes to obvious violations.
Ancient forces stir. Old agreements shatter. One goddess reaches out from her prison.
Another goddess watches from shadows, waiting for Cian to fulfill a blood-soaked bargain.
The supernatural world has rules. Dragons were meant to break them.
Discover what happens when the impossible becomes inevitable. When ancient blood awakens, will Cian become the protector his found family needs? Or will he become the weapon his enemies plan to forge?
This series offers a group/family of mixed paranormals from vampires and shifters to dragons and pixies - with a few humans too. The family has formed around the mmc, Key/Cian. There is plenty of action (heavy violence) since just about every group has decided to kill Key and "family" without much reason beyond fear of losing power. It's fun to hear the group work together and see how supportive they are of each other. Key is struggling hard to keep personal desires to negotiate instead of immolate from impacting others in his crew. However, when he's tried and tried, he loses his temper pretty dramatically. It's a bit simplistic at times, but good fun to see the group growing and change. Having Key's mom in the mix now is quite fun too. I think some of the bigger players in the super world are going to start showing up based on what's been happening so far. All of the evil "Sisters" and their god are actually a little confusing to the storyline. I guess it's the growing tension of the "Big Bad" that the crew will have to deal with (again).
Cian is given a task by the goddess of death, which he has to fulfill, while figuring out how to help the shifters, vampires, Fae, and humans who are being threatened for siding with him against his enemies. The characters in this series are great and I love the mix of paranormals that they include and the way they have become family. I am also looking forward to see how the Sisters scheme goes against Cian and his friends.
