DRAKON'S PROMISE

Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko
Posted January 3, 2017

Romance Paranormal

Darius Varkas is half human, half dragon ... a drakon. For centuries he and his brothers have lived their lives avoiding an ancient order of Knights of the Dragon. These people want to imprison the drakon's for their blood. It is a cure for diseases and prolongs a human's life. Just when Darius thinks they are done, word gets out that the Knights are back. He makes a DRAKON'S PROMISE that these people will not take another drakon. Especially when a beautiful young woman takes a chance to warn him that he is the target.

Sarah Anderson is plunged into a world she had no idea existed. A former librarian is offered a job to organize a wealthy mans chaotic library, but soon finds that it is her ability to read books and rare items that got her the job. A very special book is missing and a group called the Knights are desperate to find it. After overhearing a conversation dealing with Darius Varkas and feeling the pull of a little book she is soon on the run with a man who can shift into a dragon. The dragon man may be her only chance to survive.

DRAKON'S PROMISE will hold you spell bound. Sarah is an amazing woman with a lot of guts, I mean she does go to Darius with what she overheard and then takes off with him when danger comes their way. Darius wanted a peaceful life, now he wants to put a stop to the Knights. We get to meet two of the four brothers and I can't wait to meet the last one ... the social one. I always enjoy the worlds that author N.J. Walters gives her readers, the "people", emotions, and scenery are realistic despite being in a paranormal story-line. She also makes her bad guys just evil enough to seem real and very scary.

I also find that in her books I learn things ... did you know that a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope? Well they are and that is a little fact the author throws our way via Sarah, and I really enjoy being able to pick up fun little tidbits. I will have to warn readers that this is a serial ... it means that though Darius and Sarah have their happily ever after there is a lot of story left to tell. I for one cannot wait to get my hands on the next one! DRAKON'S PROMISE is filled with action, sexy dragon shifters, a resilient smart woman, a warm, sweet, steamy romance and some evil bad guys ... in other words ... what more could you ask for?

SUMMARY

Darius Varkas is a drakon. He's neither human nor dragon. He's both. He's also the target of an ancient order who want to capture all drakons for their blood. When fresh, a drakon's blood can cure any illness and prolong a human's life, and the Knights will stop at nothing to get it. When librarian Sarah Anderson stumbles across a rare book belonging to the Knights of the Dragon, she's quickly thrust into a dangerous world of secrets and shifters and things she never would have believed possible. When the Knights realize Sarah has a secret of her own, she becomes just as much a target as Darius. Her scary dragon shifter just might be her best chance at survival.

EXCERPT

โ€œSarah, itโ€™s vitally important I get that book. I need you to think about the security at work. Cameras, guards, alarms, everything.โ€ Heโ€™d need to get schematics of the building and more. But heโ€™d start here, with his best inside source. Of course, if she was working with the Knights, this might be nothing more than an elaborate plot to capture him. It was a risk he had to take. โ€œYou donโ€™t need to know that,โ€ she began. Darius caught her face in his hands and cradled her cheeks in his palms. โ€œI do, Sarah, I really do. Iโ€™m not worried about my life, but those of people close to me.โ€ That was the most he could give her. โ€œNo, you donโ€™t.โ€ Disappointment seeped into him, and he released her and straightened to his full height. โ€œHow much?โ€ โ€œWhat?โ€ She sounded bewildered, but he wasnโ€™t buying it. If she wasnโ€™t willing to give him the information he needed, it was because she wanted something. In his vast experience with humans, that meant money in one form or another. It used to be gold and jewels. Nowadays, it was more likely to be a simple bank transfer. He put his hands on his hips and simply stared at her, trying not to get lost in her chocolate-brown eyes. They appeared so innocent. โ€œHow much for the information?โ€ She jumped to her feet and glared at him. โ€œYou son of a bitch. Iโ€™m risking a lot to warn you about the book and everything else.โ€ โ€œThat doesnโ€™t answer my question.โ€ No way could he let her go until he had the information he needed. โ€œThe quicker you give it to me, the faster I can pay you. Then you can leave.โ€ She fisted her hands at her sides. โ€œI ought to let you pay for it.โ€ Then she fumbled with her knapsack and yanked open the zipper. He wondered if she had a weapon of some kind, and cursed himself for not searching her earlier. Not that it would do her much good. Most conventional weapons, at least any that could fit in her bag, wouldnโ€™t do much damage to him. But it would piss him off. She reached inside the bag and, instead of a weapon, pulled out an old, leather-bound book. She thrust it against his stomach, and he caught it before it dropped to the floor. โ€œHereโ€™s your damn book. I smuggled it out of work at great personal risk. Youโ€™re welcome.โ€ She stepped around him and strode to the elevator. Sarah slapped her palm against the panel, but nothing happened. Only he could make it work. Darius stared at the book and then back at the very angry woman waiting for an elevator that would never come. An unusual sensation enveloped him, one heโ€™d rarely felt in the thousands of years heโ€™d been alive. It was shame with a hint of bewilderment. He might have just made the biggest mistake of his life.
