Short Summary of the book:

In the fourth book in the series, Zenia was gifted a Dragon Tear which saved her and her friends’ lives many times over. She has now learned this Dragon Tear is actually linked to a real-life dragon who is kept captive. Together with Jev, who is now free to marry who he wishes, she decides to search for this Dragon and set it free to repay it for its help. Will they succeed?

What I liked about the book:

I loved this book as much as the other three and just couldn’t stop reading. I read all books in the series in a matter of two to three weeks in February 2020.

What I didn’t like about the book:

There was nothing I disliked about the book.

My favourite bits in the book:

I enjoyed all the suspense and action within the book with the hint of romance.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The end. I wanted to read more and find out what happened next. This is most likely what led me to buy the next book in the series immediately after reading this one.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

The author has written more books in this series and I’m definitely a fan.

What books could this be compared to and why?

The book is similar to the first in the series. It uses magic, suspense, mystery and detective skills. Definitely a winner.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

 

If you like mystery and fantasy with a bit of magic thrown in, this book may be the book for you.

Book Description by Author:

Now that Jev is no longer obligated to marry a manipulative noblewoman, Zenia can finally pursue a relationship with him. But there’s something else she must deal with first. She’s learned that the magical dragon-tear gem she wears around her neck is linked to a living dragon, one that is being held prisoner and tortured.

 

Zenia owes her life several times over to the creature. She must set aside personal desires and lead a team to the distant and dangerous continent where the dragon is imprisoned.

 

But it took someone—or something—very powerful to capture such a great creature in the first place. Zenia, Jev, and their friends may not have the magic or might necessary to free their scaled ally. If they fail, the dragon will be enslaved forever by a cruel master, and Zenia and Jev may never see their homeland again.
