What would you give up for the very thing you want above all in your life? Would you give up all that you hold? Your honor? Your life? Illarion has lived enslaved by the very beings that he hates and now the time has come to fight. When Edlyn comes into his life everything changes and not all for the better. Can the two find a way to trust one another and find a way to a happy ever after? DRAGONMARK brings readers a story of a love that lives and the people willing to fight for it.

Illarion goes through so much pain in his story. Love is lost and found and he pays a mighty price. I liked the way Illarion and Edilyn interact. Their relationship is nice to watch as it strengthens. Not only do we get to see the main characters story but readers are also treated to visits from some of the other past and favorite characters of this world. It was nice to see many characters from past books coming together. I really enjoy the world that this author has woven but this book seems to have parts that are retelling the previous story making things repetitious at times.

I did like Illarion and Edilyn. He is a good man who faces so much and she is a strong woman who deals with her own sorrow. The two make a good couple and I enjoyed seeing them fight for what they wanted and for what was right. Emotions are strong in this story. We get a lot of Illarion's past and what he went through. I would have liked a bit more on Edilyn and what she goes through. Their story is a nice read that brings not only the main characters to life but the secondary characters breathe a lot of life into this book. The author weaves action, romance and great camaraderie throughout this book. The main characters endure so much and it was nice to see the strength that they have to come out of it all on the winning end of things.

SUMMARY

The first book in the Dark-Hunter world that kicks off the thrilling Dragons Rising mini series.

Centuries ago, Illarion was betrayed–a dragon made human against his will, then forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount in their army, and to fight for them in barbaric wars, even while he hated everything about them. Enslaved and separated from everyone he knew and from his own dragon brothers, he was forced into exile in a fey realm where he lost the only thing he ever really loved.

Now he has a chance to regain what’s been lost—to have the one thing he covets most. But only if he gives up his brothers and forsakes the oaths he holds most dear. Yet what terrifies him most isn’t the cost his happiness might incur, it’s the fact that there is just enough human in his dragon’s heart that he might actually be willing to pay it and betray everything and everyone– to see the entire world burn...
