Dragon's Shadow
by Allison
Morse
GENRE: Teen Fantasy
BLURB:
Royal twins ripped apart at birth become reluctant champions of
good and evil.
Kylie, a teenage science geek, has no faith in people. Instead, she relies on what she trusts the most, the facts––what she can see, touch, and hear but never feel. With enough pain to deal with in her own world, she is thrust into another––a kingdom at war whose strange inhabitants fear one thing the most––the return of the dragon. All of this is illogical to Kylie, but even more so, when she discovers she belongs there.
Her brother, Prince Jarlon, journeys to kill the dragon who has laid waste to his kingdom. His only hope for destroying the beast is help from his sister, whom he has never met. Will their paths cross before the beast’s malevolence infects Kylie and turns her into his creature or will Jarlon have to destroy her, too?

Excerpt:
“Hey,
Kylie, you’ve been in the water for over an hour. Get out now! Something’s
wrong.”
She
ignored him. Her swim couldn’t have been an hour. She had just entered the
pond. Propelling herself down again, she thought it silly that she’d always
been ruled by her brain and had been clumsy and disconnected from her body.
Always being the last person to be picked for a team, but not now. Sensations
of water, skin, and muscle breathing together as one, consumed her usually
dominant analytical mind. The deeper she dived, the more the energy
intensified. The force seemed to coalesce into substance, as if there were a
presence pulling her toward him.
“Welcome,
little one. You have found one of my sources of power,” said the male Voice
that had led her to the village. But this time he surrounded her. His deep
timbre vibrated with the energy of the pond. “You have part of me inside you,
so you, too, have access to this power.”
With
each stroke, she felt the caress of water and fire.
“All
you have to do is take it in,” the Voice said. “I had planned to wait until you
reached the cave, but why? My power’s nice, isn’t it?”
She
heard the delight in his voice. His words tickled inside her the same way
bubbles in the water brushed her skin. She swam deeper.
“Yes,”
the Voice cooed. “Join me. Release and meld into it. Don't let it just tease
you on the outside. Open your mouth. Let me fill you up on the inside.”
It
seemed so simple, just open her mouth. But her brain snapped back into control
and would have none of it. She would die if she did that. The Voice didn’t
offer joining, but drowning.
My Review:
Once upon a time there was a set of twins a boy and a girl born
in a magical world. Upon their birth it is known that a curse has been placed
on their heads and to keep them safe they are ripped apart. One is sent to live
in the human realm while the other is kept in the magical realm.
The girl Kylie is sent to live in the human world and is
raised as human. All Kylie wants is to be left alone and to hopefully make it
through a school day without being bullied. Kylie inherits an amulet from her
mother which aides in her being transported to this magical realm from which
she came.
In this magical realm Kylie finds out a whole lot of things
about herself and her life. The one main thing is that her whole life is a lie.
It is hard at first for Kylie to actually believe her own eyes as she doesn’t
believe in anything that she cannot touch or see. Kylie is a student of
science. In this magical realm Kylie learns that the people there fear the
return of a dragon. Kylie also learns that she has a twin brother and that he
is a prince and heir to the throne of Hamadriad.
Her brother Prince Jarlon is on a journey to kill the dragon
and save his people. He must find the dragon and destroy it before his sister
Kylie finds the dragon. If Kylie finds the dragon first it could spell disastrous
for all involved.
Dragon’s Shadow was a fast paced read one in which I didn’t
want to put down I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough I had to know how it all
came out in the end. The world building is magically amazing. It will pull you
into its realm and take you on a magical ride hunting dragons.
Dragon’s Shadow is for anyone who likes fantasy and dragons
of course. Pick up your copy today to start on this wonderful magical journey.
