Sir Robert and his fighting dragon partner Growloranth, better known as Growly, finds a sobbing maiden by a small waterfall and are pleasantly shocked when she proves to be able to communicate with dragons. A rare ability and one that gives hope to Robert, for he and Growly's mate Tildeth's knight, Sir Bernard, nicknamed Bear, have been seeking such a woman in hopes that she would be theirs. Now they must do their duty to the Lair and play the game of HIDDEN DRAGON while investigating the nearby village as well as hope to lure this beauty to their Lair.

Isabelle is intrigued by the dragons, never having seen one up close and to have one before her is amazing. The knights are also intriguing and gentlemanly ... compared to the treatment of the villagers. In a moment of concern she allows them to shelter from the rain in her dilapidated barn and they accept.

This gives Robert and Bernard the perfect vantage point. They can investigate the village and keep an eye on lovely Isabelle. Whether they can entice her to come to the Border Lair or not as their mate, they know they can't leave her to face the danger they know is coming. When the time comes they must take her to the Lair and hope once there she will learn that loving two knights has an advantage.

HIDDEN DRAGON takes us back to author Bianca D'Arc's fantastic Dragon Knights series and it is as fantastic and fresh as the first one. This book gives you a little bit more of the daily life in the Lair and revisits past characters, but it is truly the story of Robert, Bear and Isabelle ... and of course Growly and Tilly who complete this little family. I enjoyed the getting to know you part that is played out because it gives the readers more time to get to know them and enjoy the anticipation that comes from it all. The secret of Isabelle's parentage comes to light but to me that comes second to the amazing ability she has with healing and her voice. I love this series of Ms. D'Arc's and hope there are more to come as I am always ready to escape to this amazing world.
