Legends is the beginning of an epic story of many individuals whose lives have been linked in the battle for the fate of their world.
The sorceress Lusiradrol, exiled to human form thousands of years earlier from her life as the terrible black dragon, has awakened her Red Clan. The true dragons are ready to renew their ancient wars to save the world, but they cannot do it alone. Unfortunately, the magi and the two races of men are far from ready to face the darkness unleashed by Lusiradrol.
The white dragon was made to banish her, one who could unite all beings of Light, but his return is not as any foresaw. Through a woman who guards his power and his spirit, he will be reborn. But will he be too late to save the world?
Melanie Nilles (aka M. A. Nilles) is an avid animal lover and resides with her husband, kids, and a clowder of cats who take advantage of their human slaves for food and warm laps. An equestrian of forty years, Melanie has trained and ridden all disciplines from race horses to cow horses and western show and speed events to jumping and dressage.
At the same time, Melanie (Mel to those who know her) has always had a fascination with science fiction and fantasy. Under her full name, her published works include the Starfire Angels: Dark Angel Chronicles series and other YA/New Adult works. As M. A. Nilles, she writes adult SF&F, including the Legend of the White Dragon epic, Demon Age, and Starfire Angels: Forgotten Worlds series.
Melanie has a unique perspective that she notes isn't for every reader. In general, her stories don't follow formulas or fit into any specific category but will offer something different for those who are looking for something meaningful but fun in science fiction and fantasy.

Very slow moving, good plot line, but hard to care about characters. I read a review where they said it reads like a textbook, and that is pretty accurate.
Second in the White Dragon series, it was good. Interesting characters, well planned story line; a little humor, romance and intrigue, makes for a lighter epic series not heavy-handed. Several small spelling and grammatical errors sometimes made for unclear reading and I had to reread sentences to clarify. Would be great for child with strong reading skills.

A little hard to get into at first but then out of nowhere you are hooked. It was hard to stop reading. Nicely written to engage all your senses and make you feel as though you are there. Memorable characters who you grow to love and others not so much. A great read ready for the next book!
Started very slow, as several people have said. It did pick up some but I still think it was a bit confusing. The dragons talking in rhyme was an interesting concept, but grew tiresome, the way sentences had to be worked and twisted to create the rhyme.
I would probably read the next one, as it did get better over the course of the book.
