Resumen del Editor

Seven thousand years ago, an Amethystine dragon fell in love with a Kalleen princess, and nearly uncovered an unholy truth. As a consequence, to protect the status quo, the Amethystine were banished from the kingdom, their very existence wiped from the epics of history.

Plagued by inescapable nightmares, Amelia wonders if the unknown dragon in her dreams, whose boundless fury destroys all she loves, is a glimpse of an ancient past…or uncertain future?

Despite her fears, the newly crowned Dragon Queen must find the courage to face the kingdom’s darkest secrets. Evil truths that those who prefer the old ways, especially the temple’s powerful leaders, will go to any length to keep in eternal shadow.

Standing steadfast by her side, Amelia’s Captain Gwain, and newfound love Conner, strive to assist her. In their quest to forge a new kingdom, one free from oppression of those not blessed with a dragon form, Amelia delves deeper into the temple’s corruption and uncovers the horrors wrought upon her kingdom’s children in the name of control and power. A necessary task, for a better future, but her revelations could spark a civil war between the temples’ devoted followers and those sworn to the royal dragon bloodline.

Another Great Book

Love this book. I'm glad to see that the right thing does happen and happy endings are on there way. I hope there is another book to this series.

Dragons Protect

Book 2 in the Flames of Kalleen series

Divided kingdom. Queen determined to use her power to protect the kingdom. Attempted destruction of a dragon race in the past under false pretenses by others for their own agendas.

Comparison - being lost in dragon form vs being lost in human form

Balance human life with the dragon. Faith and fortification. Defend the defenseless. Choices between family and love. Stand by choices. Life isn’t always what we would’ve chosen, but sometimes we choose it for love.

“If not for one girl, then what is worth fighting for?”
“Call me by a lesser title one more time!”
“Kill us.”
“A fate worse than death.”

Wow!!

I absolutely love this series! It keeps me on my toes! I can’t wait to find out what happens next with Amelia and Conner. As well as Gwen!! The narrator did an amazing job at telling the story! Can’t wait for book 3!!

Exciting

Dragon wars within themselves and against the past. Interesting and I hope there is more to come. #AudiobookObsessions

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!

So good! So much more revealed, so many lies, secrets, and loves!
I was captivated from first word to last, beautifully written and narrated.
I hope there's MORE, I absolutely love this series!! Soooo amazing! On to many more KL Bone books, I'm officially hooked :)
AWESOME!!!

Wonderful story, but hurts my heart.

Narrator does a great job. She has a nice accent and fits the tone of the story well.

This is the 2nd book in this series, so definitely start with book 1 before starting this one. This book starts after the events of the first book.

The story is entertaining and the writing is great. Love Amelia’s strength and intelligence; she’s a good queen. Love how Amelia and Connor are so sweet together, and they have such passion between them. He’s so supportive of her. They have a wonderful connection. The thing that doesn’t work for me as much is how depressed I feel reading this story; about 85% of this book is depressing, which is similar to the first book. The present story is a little more hopeful, but the author gets her depressing quotient in by having a depressing story from the past. Amelia finds some scrolls that tell the story of a dragon princess long ago that tries to take on the horrible priestesses. In the present, Amelia is also trying to take down the evil corruption that the priestesses have been allowed to complete many atrocities against many innocents. The author has created a unique story that draws me in, so I’m still looking forward to reading the next book. Unfortunately, another depressing thing is that it seems the next book isn’t out and this one ends with some cliffhangers. So, yeah, a very good story with some strong and wonderful characters, but it’s depressing.

Dark Secrets Hydra Royal Dragon Kingdom Realm

Releasing the Dragon (Flames of Kalleen Book 2) continues to pique my passion. I love this paranormal romance series and dragon shapeshifters are one of my favourite kind. I love learning the vivid history of this paranormal realm through flashbacks. An engaging seamless narrative with compelling characters. Beautiful, tragic and sultry moments splashdown throughout the narrative. Intricate pieces of the puzzle revealed in tiers only to gain more questions. Looking forward to listening to book three when available.

Narator Kylie Stewart performance is perfect. I absolutely love it. Her intonation is flawless. A calming, soothing and relaxing sense is felt while listening.

A fascinating dragon shifter fantasy

I quite enjoyed this second book of a solidly written dragon fantasy. This series need to be read in order. The author K.L. Bone takes the subject matter seriously and has created a detailed royal court with dramatic events. There is only a small splash of romance. There is violence and an instance of attempted rape, so this is definitely not YA. This volume continues the story of the Amelia, the new dragon-shifter queen of Kalleen. New political tension with the Temples and uncovered secrets from thousands of years ago kept me interested. There is a cliffhanger, which I expected and I liked. The overall tone is a little sad, but the determination of Amelia and the loyalty of her friends balanced out the sad tone. I recommend this to anyone who wants a serious dragon fantasy for adults.

The narrator Kylie Stewart delivers a beautiful, regal performance that is perfect for bringing this book to life. Her high-class English accent works really well for the nobility of Kalleen, and it brings elegance to the political intrigue at the royal court. She is pretty good at differentiating the voices of the different characters. I think that she talks a little too slowly, so I usually listened at 1.25x speed. I wish her men's voices could have been a little bit deeper. Overall, the narrator did a great job.

Releasing the Dragon

This book is an amazing piece of work. The story is great and keeps you captivated from start to finish. The back story in the book bought me to so many tears. The audio narration is just perfect for this book. I cannot wait for book 3 to be released.

Wow the plot kickens!!

Wow I couldn't put this book down. From the first paragraph I was sucked in. The author's way with words and story telling is fantastic.

I love how Amelia has become such an amazing Queen. She is so strong and feisty and absolutely sticks up for what she believes in and what she believes is right! She is going to make waves as the new Queen.

I can't wait to get into book three. Thank the goddess I wont have to wait long as book three will be out soon.

Thank you KL Bone for the 5 star read. This review was done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official book blog.
