Fate Fire Shifter Dragon: World on Fire Series One #4.1
Bonds: The Silence Cycle Episode One
Daisy Reynolds might be taller and more athletic than the average seventeen-year-old, but she doesn’t make waves. Hiding from her klepto mom’s terrifying Shifter ex-boss makes an invisible life necessary. But when a Burner—a chaos ghoul—gets a whiff of Daisy, hiding turns into running for her life.
Daisy soon realizes the conflicts around her run deeper than nasty ghouls and mean Shifters looking to beat up her mom. Future-seeing Fates want a piece of her, too.
But some fates cannot be escaped unless you have courage… and an unlikely ally.
Bonds, Episode One of The Silence Cycle, introduces Daisy Reynolds Pavlovich, an important new character to the Fate - Fire - Shifter - Dragon universe. Join Daisy as she navigates a landscape punctuated by unfamiliar creatures:
Fates with the ability to see past, present, and future.
Ghouls called Burners who devour with fire and acid.
Shifters who shape much more than their bodies.
And two dragons who speak with color and pattern.
Look for Broken, Episode Two of the Silence Cycle available now.

Bonds is the first episode in the fourth book of the Fate-Fire-Shifter-Dragon miniseries of books. Bonds is the first introduction of Daisy Reynolds to this FFSD universe. Daisy is a bloodhound enthraller and starts off in a restaurant which is giving her problems because of her very sensitive nose. Her nose does help her to avoid Ghouls and her abilities help her to heal animals. Daisy is meeting with Gavin, a man she had saved three months ago, but the woman that was saved at the same time is now going to marry a dragon shifter, so he is upset. Daisy had originally been assigned to watch out for the woman because the Fates said she was important in some way to the dragons and that was nine years ago, when Daisy first found out about her powers. If I tell you any more it will ruin the story so read it for yourself.
This book is good. The character development is excellent and the story flows along at a nice pace. This book draws you in and you will be more than ready for the next episode. In fact that is one of the issues with this book, that it was too short and I was ready to read more. Anyone who loves paranormal stories would like this book.
I’m giving this book 4 hearts

A fast paced FIVE STAR read that will keep you turning the pages rapidly to find out what happens next!
The Schwartz Synopsis:
This short read introduces us to Daisy, a young shifter. The book starts off with her talking to Rysa’s best friend, Gavin. Their chat quickly turns into a story of Daisy’s past connections to the Doctor, who just so happens to be Rysa’s runaway father. The Doctor and Daisy have a run in with some burners, fates, and fight their way to safety, all at the instruction of a different fate. But fates can’t be trusted, can they?
“Daisy couldn’t name the man’s stench. Couldn’t say, “Oh, yeah, that’s burning rotten eggs,” or “A firecracker dipped in gasoline,” because she didn’t know for sure what those smells were. Her imagination said Oh, you know and It doesn’t matter. It gets the point across. But she was seventeen and she’d never actually smelled a gas-dipped firecracker. She did, though, smell this man. And she smelled danger.”
The Schwartz Thoughts:
As always, Kris Radcliffe is so very talented with her pen (or more likely, her keyboard). From the moment that I picked this novel up to read I was unable to put it back down again until it was finished and I finally knew how it all ended, or rather, began. I absolutely loved how well developed Daisy’s character was, she was the perfect teenager all full of know-it-all and defiance. Which happened to serve her well in this adventure or run-for-your-life situation that was so beautifully written. The story takes place before Rysa’s story. You know, about the time that her father disappeared. This book is part of the why, not the whole why, oh no no no. Just a part of the why. There is enough of a cliff hanger to keep you reading through this mini-series. And believe me, I will be reading on.
“Now Daisy threw him a disarming smile. “I told you, Fates know everything…”
I would recommend this short read to anyone who enjoys paranormal, action packed, edge of your seat reading. It won’t take long to read, because the book will be glued to your hands until you flip that last page. Read on!

Radcliffe paints her scenes in tones and hues. You feel like you’re looking at an oil painting. Everything pops with a vivid sense of reality that draws you to it. By writing in short, poignant sentences Radcliffe adds an extra sense of urgency to an already suspenseful tale. Not only is this a fantastically magical story, this novel is also an in-your-face social commentary that really makes you stop and think. I appreciate the fact that this novella is complementary to the Activation trilogy of the series, while also standing alone. I found myself getting excited over each and every new detail revealed.
I really enjoyed getting to know Daisy so much better in this instalment. Her past, and the convergence of everyone’s path leads to a great story. Radcliffe’s development of her characters in this novella is spot on. She gives you a peek into many histories while developing certain characters in the present. It combines into a heady mix that will make you feel part of this world. You also come away with a much more intense understanding of the Fates & how they work. It was quite enlightening.
As a whole this was a brilliant segue into the Silence trilogy. Radcliffe melds reality and imagination together in a manner so seamless that you’ll find yourself walking through the pages alongside her characters. I couldn’t put it down for a second.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it! Another reviewer hit the nail on the head. Kris Austen Radcliffe has the perfect mix of fantasy and reality! Her writing style is not for everyone but I think it drew me in more and I couldn't wait to read the next chapter. This book is the First book in The Silence Cycle and I think it really was wonderfully written. I enjoy when an Author tells the story of one of the characters from a previous book. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if they told the story of a different characters experiences. I think it just enhanced Kris's other Series, The Activation Trilogy. This book is a good compliment to those books but is also good as a stand alone. I can't wait to read more. Well done!

Daisy is a bloodhound shifter telling a story about before she activated and her first encounter with Burners. This story is so good. Kris Austen Radcliffe is an exceptional writer, and I am so happy to read anything new by her. . Kris Austen Radcliffe is not your typical cookie-cutter fiction writer. She writes outside the box. This story draws you in immediately, the pacing is spot on, the characterization is interesting. I cared about Daisy and wanted to know more about her. We learn more about Rysa's childhood in this prequel. Loved this story set in the Fate/Fire/Shifter/Dragon universe. 5 stars.
