Review: Reign of Dragons by Olivia Ash

Review: Reign of Dragons by Olivia Ash

I found this while browsing Audible Plus and decided to give it a try after listening to a sample. I enjoyed the narrator and the story immediately pulled me in. I ended up getting the ebook from KU so I could read when I wasn’t able to listen. Rory Quinn was raised in an order […]
