Editorial Review:
Hidden among the remote hills of eighteenth-century England lives a powerful clan of shape-shifters who’ve become the stuff of myths and legends. They are the drákon—supersensual creatures with the ability to Turn from human to smoke to dragon. Now a treacherous new enemy threatens to destroy their world of magic and glittering power.
For centuries, they thought themselves alone at Darkfrith, but the arrival of a stunning letter from the Princess Maricara sent from the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania suggests the existence of a lost tribe of drákon. It is a possibility that the Alpha lord, Kimber Langford, Earl of Chasen, cannot ignore. For whoever this unknown princess may be, she’s dangerous enough to know about the drákon’s existence—and where to find them. That, as Kimber can’t help but concede, gives her a decidedly deadly advantage. And, indeed, it wouldn’t be long before Maricara breached the defenses of Darkfrith and the walls around Kimber’s heart. But the mystery of the princess’s real identity and the warning she has come to deliver, of a brutal serial killer targeting the drákon themselves, seem all but impossible to believe. Until the shadowed threat that stalks her arrives at Darkfrith, and Kimber and Maricara must stand together against the greatest enemy the drákon have ever faced—an enemy who may or may not be one of their own. They have no choice but to yield to their passionate attraction for each other. But for two such very different drákon leaders, will an alliance of body and soul mean their salvation, their extinction…or both?

Rating:  - The best in Shana Abe's drakon series yet!
Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT..! I think this book is the best of the Drakon series yet. After putting down the rules & groundwork of her fantastical Drakon world in books 1 and 2, Shana Abe finally threw in some serious conflicts (both internal and external), to reflect some of the changes that were happening in Europe at that time period.
I actually think Kimber Langford, the hero in this book, is tbe best hero yet in the Drakon series, and he's the one who made the book. The high ... Read More
Rating:  - Okay, But...
QUEEN OF DRAGONS reads like a middle book in the series. Many of the storylines are developed further, while not much is concluded. The reader is definitely left hanging, ready for the next story to see how things develop. I didn't like this story as much as the first two books in the series. I suppose my opinion mainly stems from my lack of "connection" with both the hero and heroine. I spent most of the book, thinking "huh?", wondering what was going on. Anyone reading the Drakon series will have to ... Read More
Rating:  - Not as good as the first two, but still good
Overall, I thought that this was a good book, although parts of it were slow. I definitely enjoyed the first two books in this series better. This book seemed as if it were setting up the background for the next one, with good character development and a very open ending. It was still a good book, however, and I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series, which I feel with be more action packed. Note: Before reading this book, I would recommend reading the first two in the series ... Read More
Rating:  - Very Disappointing!
Ms. Abe set up conflicts, none were resolved. There were too many filler pages describing furniture. I wonder if it was her or the publisher who decided to get two books out for the work of one. I am sure we will find out what happens in the next one, which I will check out from the library. If there were less than one star, this book would get it.
Rating: - Missing Something...
After reading the first in the series, I went out and immediately purchased the next two, reading all three in about a three week time span. THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE BOOK! You must read the first two to follow this book.
The first in the series was definitely the best. The second book was good and this one isn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't as good as the first. I think I was expecting more with a title like Queen of Dragons.
Mari, the heroine, was hard to relate to. And I really ... Read More
