Blood of Dragons

Death Series, Book 2

By: Penelope Barsetti

Narrated by: Ramona Master, Michael Ferraiuolo

The Death King betrayed me—so I did the same to him.

My time in Talon’s captivity has complicated my feelings. He’s more than a monster that conquered innocent people for his own means. He carries a lethal wound no one can see, a justification for his cruelty. But I have wounds too—wounds that he caused. My entire miserable existence is because of him—a cruelty he will never understand even though he should understand it most.

I and Inferno—the powerful red dragon that’s fused his soul with mine—have agreed that the Death King must be exiled. We travel north to Riviana Star, the forest home of the elves and my father’s brother, Ezra. I assumed I would be welcomed with open arms, but I’m treated with only suspicion by Queen Eldinar. She grants me asylum in her forest because I’ve agreed to be their ally against the Death King—but begrudgingly.

Even when I’m in the presence of the elves, I drown in solitude. I’m the only one of my kind besides my uncle, but his reception of me isn’t warm like I hoped. Commander Luxe takes an interest in me, but my heart still yearns for a man it should hate. And that’s when he appears—The Death King—in Riviana Star.

But not in the flesh.

The Death King is far more powerful than I ever imagined—and I’ve made him my greatest enemy.

Trigger warning: this novel contains dark themes including rape and pregnancy loss. Listener discretion is advised.

I loved everything about this!!

Penelope Barsetti has an imagination I am so jealous of. I’m so enthralled by this series. Talon has become someone I admire.. go figure. And Calista had my heart from the beginning. I listened to this book, start to finish, on release day without stopping. So happy the General got what he deserved.

I am a dragon fan…. And I’m a Penelope Barsetti fan. I be need more!!!

I recommend this very highly!! If you’ve read/listened, you know!!

This Series!!! ❤️

Can’t wait to listen to more!!! This whole story!! She captures your attention and keeps it going!

Good story but really short

It is a good story but all of these books could have just been 1 book. They are short.

Worth Listening

Everything hinted in the first book was revealed. It allowed better understanding of the characters and what made them who they are and what drives them. Second book is definitely worth a listen. Narration is well performed. I'm definitely ready to know what comes next.

Another Cliffhanger

I've gone back and forth about how much I like or dislike this book. I've decided I don't dislike it but I would have like this second book to more exciting. I feel like Calista and Talon just kept going back/forth a lot in this one. I did like the sincerity in Talon and the way he watched her through the underworld. I don't like what I found out about his bargin because he cannot get out of it so it will be interesting how this series wraps up. You also got Talon's backstory in this one which was good his revenge tour makes sense now.
