Blood Warrior (Dragon Kings, #2)

by Lindsey Piper

Tallis of Pendray's dreams are not his own. For decades he has suffered visions of a stunningly beautiful woman who uses his helpless desire for her body to force him into fulfilling her violent needs. His desperate craving has destroyed his family, his free will, and almost his sanity. When he finally tracks her down, he has one desire only: revenge.

To her followers, Kavya of Indranan is a peaceful saviour. When Tallis steals her, he throws her clan, and the whole future of the Dragon Kings, into lethal disarray. In truth, Kavya shares little but a name in common with his avowed enemy, and with her bloodthirsty, lethally powerful brother out for their blood, time is running out for them - and for their species.

There is one chance left. Suspicious, tortured Tallis must learn to trust Kavya - he must give everything, including his heart, to protect her - otherwise a war will come that will destroy them, and their kind, forever...

3.5 stars.

I'm usually a very character driven reader. Give me a good character and you have a reader for life. With this series, while the characters are good, they are not what makes this series great. I love the world that is built around them. Dragon Kings are one of five types of paranormal creatures that we hear about in myths. In this story, we have a Scottish berserker, Pendray, and an India telepath, Indranan. What is strange about the Indranan, is that they are always born in multiple births and when their gifts manifest at puberty, the siblings feel the need to kill the others to make their gifts whole. This also tends to make the surviving sibling crazy. In this story, our Indranan is one of a set of triplets. Her brother has already killed her sister and now she has been hiding from him for years. He finds her at the same time that she meets our Pendray. He was out to destroy her, but learns that she is not who he thought and wants to protect her from her brother.

I can't wait for the next book to learn about a different group of Dragon Kings. I love learning their histories and gifts.
