Conspiracy of Dragons

Here Be Dragons, Book 4

De: Louisa Masters

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

There's only one person I trust . . .

It's no secret that I'm hard to handle. People get annoyed by me. Sometimes they're amused, but not for long. It's not easy to deal with a paranoid conspiracy theorist, and I stretch everyone's patience.

Everyone except Wil. He was there at the beginning, when I left my old life behind, and he's stuck with me since. He's been my friend when no one else wanted to. Patiently taught me how to fit in. He's the one person I know I can rely on.

He's the only man I can see myself ever being with. The only man I would want to spend eternity with.

But when my past rears its ugly head and the stuff of my nightmares rises from the dead, the hope of a happy future rapidly fades. I need him more than ever, but I can't risk him. I can't let anyone use him against me.

Torture doesn't have to be physical to hurt. And I'm not going to let myself be hurt again.

Best in The Series

Conspiracy of Dragons is my favorite book in Louisa Masters series. Stephan’s paranoia has been a troublesome issue throughout the series, causing most of the other characters to keep secrets, avoid his presence, and handle his over-the-top security demands as gently as possible. Everyone at Here Be Dragons, except Stephen, thought they were safe from attack from extremist human groups and other members of the magic Community. In their mind, the biggest problem is the imbalance in the Life Force and resulting loss of magic over time. No one wants to live without their magic! Well, Masters throws the entire dragon household and the Community into frightening confusion and chaos with her unexpected introduction of a mysterious new dragon.
I enjoyed getting to know Stephan’s back story, and his secret relationship with Wil.
Joel Leslie narrates beautifully, employing his different voices and voice acting skill. Totally elevates the listening experience.

Great Story

This is a great story with intriguing characters. I love this series and the narration by Joel Leslie is great as always.

Good balance of romance and intrigue

This book has more angst, conflict, and intrigue than the others since the Hidden Species series, and I liked it! Heartbreaking at times, but full of love, redemption, and hope. The whole two series of books with many of the same characters comprises Joel Leslie’s master opus, from all that I’ve heard of him so far.

Great series

The story is a great ending to this chapter of the dragons’ stories. Joel Leslie does a marvelous job bring the characters to life.

Too angsty for my tastes but still a good story !!

Honestly, the subject matter was too much for me.Stephan's anxiety and paranoia was A LOT. I am fully aware that doesn't mean it wasn't a good book. I finished it only because it was the last in the series so I recognize the wonderful writing and fabulous story telling of the author.

Wonderful!

It was a fabulous story with intriguing characters. I love this series and the narration is always great.

Conspiracy of Dragons

I absofreakinglutely loved it!

Such a perfect ending and some things I did not see coming so I was pleasantly surprised.

Highly recommend but you must start with Demons Do It Better for it all to make sense.

Love the humor

I read the whole series. The emotions and humor are perfectly balanced. My American ears have had problems with books that are read with primary English accents. I’ve had to read them versus listening. The narrator for this series is wonderful. The different accents, tones and personalities made this a very pleasant and extremely fun experience. I am new to Ms. Masters books. I’ll be reading more. I read and listen to a ton of books. The ones I enjoy I reread. This series is one I’ll reread.

Loved it.

Strangely I enjoyed the audiobook more than when I read Stefan’s ebook. I found him very conspiracist, but the audio calmed it for me. I loved listening to it. And enjoyed Will’s calming manner that grounded Stefan. I do hope there’s more books in the series, I’d love to read and listen to more.

Such a beautiful story

This is such an exceptional addition to this series. Poignant and funny and moving and such a feel good ending. This series is on my re-read and re-listen list. Love the characters and how wonderfully flawed they are.
