Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and the author for my gifted ebook to write my honest review.
Who do you trust when you can’t go home?
After centuries of hiding themselves and their shifting abilities from outsiders, the Dragon Kin decide to send a delegation of “dragon riders” to a nearby Lowlander territory. Eager to see the world, young Lauran quickly volunteers. But not all Lowlanders can be trusted. As the visit comes to an end, Lauran finds herself trapped in her draconic form—and hunted by an evil warlock. Desperate to protect herself and her people, she flees along the Dragon Spine Mountains, away from friends and foes alike.
Meanwhile, the last place Jenny wants to be during her summer break from university is on a family vacation with her mother’s new husband and his young son, Davy. Hoping for some peace and quiet, she explores a nearby cave—only to stumble into a portal to the Kingdom of Galahar, a land of magic and mythological creatures.
As Jenny searches for Davy, who follows her through the portal, and Lauran struggles for freedom, they come together with the help of Nath, an apprentice shaman of the Anishinabe people.
Between Jenny’s technology and Nath’s magic, can they help Lauran escape the warlock’s relentless pursuit before he gets his hands on the Dragon Kin’s blood?

🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉My Review🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉
Who doesn’t like a fantasy story that involves dragons?! Well! Not me, I am a sucker for a new world complete with dragons. Dragon Kin’s Blood is the first in the Kingdom of Galahar series. By a new author to me too, so I just went in with no expectations apart from wanting a good read. It fulfilled, in fact it over compensated and I loved it!
The world building was that good I was easily transported to the Kingdom of Galaher. The detailed descriptions allowed me to feel like I was there with Jenny and Davy. The characters wormed their way into my heart as they attempted to find each other in this magical land they have portaled into.
The cast of characters are all well fleshed out, and interesting. Lauran is dragon kin who finds themself stuck in their dragon form with no way to shift back. This is only one issue that has to be dealt with in this magical journey. Told from multiple perspectives so the reader gets to know the characters properly. I was so enchanted by this tale.
It isn’t a fast paced story, but it builds steadily. I felt it was enough for me to get my head around the characters and plot as I read. I have to say, to add to my enjoyment there is even a map! That makes a book so much more!! I will be on the lookout for the next book, I know that!
