To unleash her dragon, she must confront her past.It’s been seven years since Amaleigh failed to assassinate her best friend and she’s been on the run. Jumping from world to world where she never quite fits in, all she truly wants is to stop running and find a place to call home. And maybe finally be kissed by someone who doesn’t leave her feeling indifferent. To say love doesn’t come easily for … love doesn’t come easily for her is an understatement. Unlocking her cold, dead heart might be a start to unleashing her inner dragon, but that would mean trusting another and there’s only one person she’s ever trusted—the same man she couldn’t kill.
Prince Gwilym knows he shouldn’t risk Amaleigh’s life by asking for help, especially since he’s the reason she had to escape Eidyn. They grew up together as best friends, innocent in the knowledge it was Gwilym’s father who murdered her family and left her an orphan to live on the streets. Now his life is in peril and she’s the only person he trusts. He wouldn’t blame her for not daring to return to the city that celebrated the slaughter of her kind and cast her aside.
Time’s running out for Gwilym and his father. Amaleigh’s future hangs in the balance.
Can she survive the very place her parents were murdered, or will palace intrigues claim another victim? If she fails Gwilym, she might lose her chance to come to terms with her past, and open her heart.
Forced to make a desperate choice, she must put aside her hatred for the man who murdered her family and sentenced her to a life of crime and loneliness. Dare she risk everything and return to the one place she tried desperately to forget?
To save those she loves, she must become the Dragon Mage the king fears most.

I really enjoyed reading Dragon Mage. It is a story about Amaleigh, she is an orphan who has been on the run. She has been going from one world to another in order to stay safe from the King who murdered her entire family and has a contract on her life. She lives with her mentor Cornelius but while meditating she gets a jumbled message from her best friend growing up, Gwilym, who is also the King son who murdered her family and has a contract for her death. She knows her friend wouldn’t ask for help unless he has no other choice and doesn’t understand how he can send her a message through her mind. Cornelius tries to talk her out of it because it risks her saftey. But regardless she has to go. She goes to the castle to find her friend, from there the story really begins, she sees old friends and might even make new ones if she can figure out who to trust. There are lots of twists in the story, some battles, magic which is forbidden and of course there are dragons and mages. This book is a must read. Can Amaleigh save her best friend, can she find love? I would recommend this book, I enjoyed it and I will be reading more or Tameri Etherton’s books in the future.
Dragon Mage is absolutely the best book just know it is well worth any price you have to pay !!!. Tameri started Ameliegh ‘s story in a short story called Child Of Fire its included in the book called Fantastic Realms. Now in this full story, Ameliegh is a dragon mage that became an orphan due to the king being give false information both her parents and her brother were killed. Gwilym is the prince son of the same king who killed Amaleigh’s family. His mom dies when he was 6. He later becomes friends with Amaleigh . She eventually has to leave their home town of Eiden for her own safety , so she and her mentor look for a new place and also save orphan dragons. All while he is blocking her powers to fully become her dragon once more . She one day is practicing her casting without Cornelius’s knowledge so that she can become her dragon once more and become better at using her powers . While doing so Gwilym reaches out through her mind to request her help .So she decides she is going to and try to find Gwilym and see why he reached out for her help. She finds both Gwilym and his dad brutally beaten and decides to take them back to where she and Cornelius live with the dragonlings. You will love the little twists in this story line it is very hard to put down be prepared to fall asleep reading it . And I will stop so that i don’t give away to much but if you love any of Tameri Etherton’s books you will love this story even more !! I loved how quickly things moved the book keeps you engaged and its an awesome story! A must read for any Tameri Etherton fan! And also for anyone looking for a new author to get into ! I sure hope there is more to come of Amaleigh’s and Gwilym’s story in more books for this is a a wonderful story line it took me only a couple days and in 2 maybe 3 tops to read Dragon Mage !Again please read tou will not be sorry you did!!!
Read it in one sitting!!!! All of Tameri books are awesome but this one took the cup!! I was already curious about what had happened with Ameleigh and finding that this book was all about her made me sooo happy. This book has a bit of everything: love, betrayal, friendship, unlikely allies and left me with one question… That might be a spoiler so I wont ask… I´ll wait to see in which book will this answer come up!
