The Dragon Reborn

The Taziem Chronicles #2

by Kathleen H. Nelson

Taziem and Lathwi are back in a new adventure. And the stakes have never been higher.TAZIEM IS A MAGNIFICENT sexy, powerful, intelligent. Like other dragons, she hoards diamonds, but unlike other dragons, she covets knowledge as well. This drive for knowledge has forced her out of her cave and into the world of humans on more than one occasion. But this time, the stakes are even higher-for Taz and for her human-born dragonling, Lathwi.In the five years since the downfall of Malcolm Blackheart and his dark Mistress, Lathwi has led a life free of human complications. But now two old acquaintances intrude on her solitude. Pawl has come in search of help against an infestation of ghosts, while Luke bears dire news of dragon slayings. Lathwi recruits her mother, Taziem, to hunt down and destroy the murderers, and then sets out with Pawl to restore the dead to their rest. Their adventures draw them into the badlands of the south, where they encounter an ambitious warlord, his troubled mage, and a deranged dragonsire. The balance of continental power hinges on Taziem and Lathwi. Will humans win? Or will dragons?

I loved this fantasy sequel to Daughter of Dragons. I thought it was better than the first novel, with better writing and better characterization. The first novel focused on how poorly Lathwi — a human child raised by a dragon — fits into human society (while defeating an evil sorcerer). In this story, Lathwi is comfortable with her dual human/dragon nature, and she is fully accepted by the gypsy clan who bring her news of dragons slaughtered by humans. Pawl, the human who taught her to use a sword, also appears, bearing word of another evil sorcerer and the return of a powerful foe. The ending was terrific.

I loved the personality that Kathleen managed to give Lathwi. Steady writing. Kathleen is a gifted story teller
