Guest Review: Dragon’s Moon by Lucy Monroe text-align: center;”> Tracy’s review of Dragon’s Moon (Children of the Moon #4) by Lucy Monroe
He’s a dragon intent on saving his people from destruction by the Fearghall and she is a wolf who blames the dragon for the deaths of her brother and mother. They’re true mates, but will that be enough to overcome ancient prophecies, debilitating visions and a dragon’s fire?
When Eirik, the only living dragon shifter, and prince of the Ean, killed her brother, Ciara was left alone to face her prophetic dreams. Now, in order to find the wolves’ sacred stone and save all the Chrechte from destruction, she needs her enemy’s help.
Eirik was only protecting the children of his people, but that day in the forest left a mark on him as well. Controlling his dragon’s fire is the most difficult thing he’s ever done—until he and Ciara are forced to face not only their shared tumultuous past, but a hallowed bond stronger than they realize. As avowed enemies and predestined mates, their quest ushers them into a world of great danger, and a passion hotter than the dragon’s fire.
The Ean are shapeshifting birds who have been hunted most of their lives. They have been in hiding but have decided that for their race to survive need to disperse to different clans and live. The man who would have been the Ean king is Eirick and he and his cousins have gone to the Sinclair clan. There Eirick meets Ciara. Ciara dislikes Eirick almost from the first moment he arrives – right after she discovers that he is a dragon shifter and that he is the one that killed her brother.
Ciara came to the Sinclair clan after her entire family died and she needed to heal away from her own home. Abby and Talorc Sinclair took her in and consider her their daughter. Unfortunately Ciara refuses to let herself get attached and actually LOVE anyone. She’s lost all of the people in her life that she did love and refuses to let herself feel enough for someone just to lose them again. Eirick showing up in the Sinclair clan changes everything for Ciara in so many ways. She not only starts to come out of her shell but she comes clean to Abby and Talorc about the dreams and visions that she’s had since she was young. The one she has now is pulling her to find the sacred stone of the Faol – the wolf shifters. Ciara discovers many things about herself that she’s not necessarily all that comfortable with but Eirick is there to help her through.
Eirick and Ciara’s romance was woven so nicely into the overall story. I thought that Eirick was an understanding man and though he pushed Ciara it was always to her benefit. Ciara was a stubborn cuss but I liked her so very much. The two of them together was really great and I loved seeing the wolf shifter come together with the dragon (oh and he was a raven as well).
The continuing story of the wolves and Ean was so interesting. I’m glad that the author had us catching up with Abby and Talorc as well as Emily and Lachlan from book one as I adored both of those couples.
