Publisher's summary

By his own admission, Johan’s always been one stubborn bastard. He’s wedded to his freedom, and the thought of bonding with a dragon has some pretty serious downsides. If he doesn’t sign on to become magical, though, he’ll be left behind - also not an acceptable outcome.

Distant relatives to dragons, sea serpents are gaining strength shockingly fast. Breeding farms spring up on distant outposts, spitting out all manner of evil. Banished eons ago by the dragon god, the serpents are making a comeback. As the dragons seek allies, they uncover still more atrocities.

Katya, dragon shifter and twin to the dragon prince, thought she wanted Johan as her mate, but he has more rough edges than she counted on. Besides, the serpent problem supersedes everything. She’s used to dragons being in charge, but when a serpent almost steals her will, it’s quite the wake-up call that her magic isn’t as potent as she always assumed.

Is the age of dragons drawing to a close? If that’s true, what will come next?

fantastic!!

Katya and Johan's story...picks up where Kon and Erin left off. Fantastic story and plot. Ms. Gimpel has a way with words and her people come alive under her pen. Narrator Gregory Salinas' voice makes you melt...he does all the voices so well, including the female voices. Can't wait to read/listen from this powerful duo. Definitely recommend this audiobook!!

Slow start, but action builds.

I really wanted to like this story, but I kept starting and stopping several times. I felt that the story's progress was very slow. The characters internalize a lot and I felt that it didn't help move the story along. But, persevere my friends! There is more action and character progression as the story continues. Can't wait to learn what happens next.

Great Story!

I absolutely loved listening to this second book in the Ice Dragon series. There are quite a few surprises in this book that will keep you glued to the story to find out what happens next. Gregory Salinas does an excellent job in bringing this story to life, and I especially enjoyed listening to Johan’s elusive Dutch accent. I loved the inclusion of shifters from other worlds and the introduction of other magical beings into the story line. I absolutely can’t wait for the next audio book to be released to conclude this exciting and action-paced story!! I received this audiobook at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
