Book 6 in the DRAGON CORPS series by Natalie Grey, author of SHADOWS OF MAGIC and the TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS and VIGILANTE series in the Kurtherian Gambit Universe!
New to the series? Start with THE DRAGON CORPS!
Nyx has taken command of the Conway, and she has no trouble picking a first mission: working with her old crew on the Ariane to take out the last of the renegade Dragons. Nyx and Talon were always an unstoppable team. Now that they both have their own crews, they’ll be even more lethal.
Or … that’s how it was supposed work.
But there’s one small problem. Though Nyx took down Ghost, the AI modeled on the smuggler lives on, now sentient and running what remains of the organization.
When one of Ghost's assassins attacks the Conway, Nyx is determined not to let it derail her mission. She's going to help Talon and the Ariane no matter what it takes.
But Ghost doesn't just want Nyx dead, she wants Nyx destroyed. And her assassin knows that the best way to break Nyx's spirit is to force her to choose who survives….
The crew of the Ariane, or the crew of the Conway.
Natalie Grey grew up in rural New England, surrounded by a lot of vegetables and relatively little excitement. Therefore, she was obliged to make up excitement by pretending to be a knight, mage, jet-setting international assassin, jedi, or (occasionally) a shape-shifting dragon. She read everything she could get her hands on, from Lord of the Rings to Modesty Blaise, and eventually started writing her own stories full of what-ifs and snarky put-downs. Now she lives with her two German Shepherd mixes in the frozen wilds of Minnesota, and does a lot of inventive swearing while she shovels.
The action starts in the first chapter and doesn't stop until you've finished! Nyx has been given command of the Conway but has missed feelings. On the one hand she is excited to be working with the new crew and having her own command but on the other, she is going to miss her old crew painfully. Talon is back from vacation and ready to find the Dragons that were loyal to Sora's. Highly recommend it you love lots of action (like I do!) and well developed character!
I don’t know HOW this series get better with every book! Such amazing characters from Natalie that you’ll laugh out loud and possibly tear up over their journey (honestly, I did both during this one!). This is such a great read, that you may lose some sleep.
Thank goodness this story is back up to Natalie’s usual standard. Not thrilled with the cliffhanger-ish ending but I’ve grown to care for many of the characters so I guess I’ll be sticking around for round #7.
Start with book 1 and enjoy a truly great series by a truly great author. This series has everything. Action , suspense and amazing characters. Can't wait for the next book.
A new chapter starts but there is more than enough action and intrigue to go around. Plenty of evil foes to contend with and just enough heros to step up to take them down. Well worth the read.
Another great book in the Dragon corps series. Full of action and intrigue. Loved that this book showed the human side of the good guys and how inhumane and evil the bad guys are. I look forward to more from this author.😁
