The world is ruled by a dragon, but it wasn't always this way. The Firebreather came down from his peak and conquered the human world after a champion rescued his captive princess; in his malice and his grief, the Wyrm now demands a princess as tribute from his vassals every few years. Leo Firewhite is the king of Kyliem. He was forced into exile and his fiancée slated to be offered up to the dragon. Little time remains to save her before the dragon takes her.

Leo Firewhite and Oswald ran for their lives as the king is killed!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

When Leo is ten his family is killed and one of the last thing his father arranged was for Oswald to take the boy and run. To keep the prince hidden and try to protect him the best way he can.
Protection isn’t easy as the boy grows up because he has the Firewhite ability to SEE, brought on by the use of quicksilver. But the ability is not something everyboby needs to know about and defiantly can hinder the ability to hide. Then he get a chance to become King and take on a whole lot more than he thought it meant. And that ability to SEE keeps trying to get him killed.

A king that has no clue as to what is going on around him and is being used by anyone and everyone. Even when he gets it right, he gets it wrong.

DRAGON BLOOD: (Dragon Rage, Book 1)

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Definitely a 5-star rating. I'm so happy that the author decided to try his pen at creating another FANTASY story. Absolutely loved this tale. There is a huge cast of characters which the author has made it possible to know exactly who each one is & what part they play in the intriguing adventure. The main character is Leo Firewhite & his somewhat guardian & mentor, Oswald Andreas. Their quest to find Christina (his childhood cousin & true love) is unbelievable but very exciting. The Blood Tax & the wyrm named Firebreather is the heart of the story. Leo must become the Dragonslayer & YOU must read the fantasy to see the wonderful web of details to get to the goal. Really want to read the next book which I hope will be a free book.

Simply a great read.

This book is a great read. It starts out slow but by the end you are gripped. Leo was a hero that didn't fit the " normal" mold. His love for his betrothed was believable and didn't seem forced. All characters were well fleshed out. Some of the players though you weren left wondering about. I recommend this for older teens and adults for the violence in the story.

Fun Read with Problems. Rated PG-13.

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020

So I did enjoy the book and I think most people would enjoy it too. I would have given it 4 stars if not for a couple of issues:

1. It needed a bit better editing. I found a variety of typos, wrong words scattered throughout.
2. Unnecessary profanity.

WRITING STYLE: The author's writing style is decent. The book was easy to follow, which allows for immersion into the story. Descriptions were clean, crisp and, if not elegant, not distracting either. Action was well written, though I found a variety of instances that raised my eyebrows for the sheer impossibility of the deed...for example: a man on horse, with one hand, hauls another man who is kneeling in mud right off the ground and onto the back of his horse with no help from the man being rescued--all the while done at a full gallop. Unless the man had unusual powers, this was not realistic.

CHARACTERS: This is where I felt the majority of my issues with the book came into play. The author does a good job of creating diverse characters, but in many cases they seem contrived as if their idiosyncrasies becomes their single defining characteristic. I found several of the adult characters to be childish, almost childlike. The dialogue in many instances lacked realism in my mind. There is no character growth--though one character does come to acknowledge her own character flaws--most of the characters end up the same way they started as far as personality and character is concerned. It also took some time to figure out who the main character even was.

PLOT: I thought the plot was interesting, even if some aspects were never resolved in the book. The plot twists were not staggering or complex, but I still enjoyed the overall plot, and I did find myself wanting to continue to read to find out what happens next.

KID SAFE: There are no sex scenes or nudity or even crude, sexual humor. I really appreciate that. There is, however, a scattering of profanity, some that are strong. I would recommend running the book through a profanity filter before reading. There is violence as one would expect, but nothing graphic.

RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend this book, generally speaking. It was a fun read, and despite my issues with it, I did want to keep reading to find out what happens next. I am tempted to look into the next books in the series for I suspect they get better as the author grows as a writer.

Well written, fast paced, kept me wanting more. A mystery and each character, who’s the good guy who’s the bad guy. I would recommend it for lovers of fantasy..

Seemed to drag a bit. I cheated and read ahead, had to know in a hurry what happened. I will go back to where I skipped from. Do recommend this book, quite fascinating with twists you don't expect. Want to read the next one too.

I really enjoyed this book, so much that I have bought the next two books in the series. It is well written and I found it a book that you can lose yourself in. Just what I needed on a long train journey!
