Blurb:
16-year-old Aurora Darlington is an orphan. Mistreated by
her adopted family and bullied at school, she dreams of running away and being
free. But when she is kidnapped and dragged through a portal into a magical
world, suddenly her old life doesn't seem so bad.
Avalonia is a dangerous land ruled by powerful mages and a
cruel, selfish queen who will do anything to control all seven
kingdoms--including killing anyone who stands in her way. Thrust headlong into
this new, magical world, Aurora's arrival sets plans in motion that threaten to
destroy all she holds dear.
With the help of a young fae, a magical pegasus, and a
handsome mage, Aurora journeys across Avalonia to learn the truth about her
past and unleash the power within herself. Kingdoms collide as a complicated
web of political intrigue and ancient magic lead Aurora to unravel a shocking
secret that will change her life forever.
My Review:
Aurora Darlington has lived with her adopted Aunt and Uncle
since the death of adopted parents. Aurora has always known that she was
adopted and has always wondered who her real parents were and who she is never
expecting to ever find out. Until the day she is betrayed by her adopted Uncle
sells her to a Lord from another realm filled with Faes and fairies and other
magical creatures.
In this real Aurora learns who she is and what happened to
her mother and father and what they did to protect her. She meets her
Granduncle who takes her in and tries to keep her safe from the Queen who
killed her mother and father all those years ago so she could be the Queen.
The Queen is not such a nice person and is very evil and she
wants nothing more than to find Aurora. But with the help of her Granduncle and
the new friends that she has made in this new realm they are all working very
hard to keep Aurora hidden. In order to save her kingdom Aurora must tap into
and find her magic and learn to control it so she can beat the Queen and save
the people.
Aurora is a very strong person who will do anything even put
herself in danger to save the people that she loves and cares about. She is way
more powerful than she can even imagine.
The world that the author has created for The Last of the Firedrakes
is out of this world amazing. I loved the fae and the Pegasus, the lands that
Aurora traveled during her journey from one place to another and the magic that
she can wield. Oh and did I mention the dreamy, handsome Black Wolf? He was one
hot tamale. I can’t wait to check out the next book The Rise of the Dawnstar.
If you like to read about magic, fae and a good fantasy then
you are going to love The Last of the Firedrakes.
