Two Men Joined By Fate?Asher and Kiaran were joined at birth by the dying decree of the Dragon King’literally. Asher had his own bit of magic as a 3,000 year old immortal, and Kiaran was his dragon shifter. Out in society Kiaran was a part of Asher’absorbed into Asher’s body’only being able to separate in dragon form. At their birth home, the two men could exist apart from each other as men. They … They protected each other, and would until their dying breath if it ever came to that. They shared everything’that is until Essie came along’.Essie was doing her best to hide from a mother that didn’t even recognize her own daughter. The witch had poisoned her with a scratch and if Essie wasn’t healed soon she’d die’.

Reading the blurbs, then the reviews only seem to build the anticipation when contemplating a new series. Then when all the information is gathered, the decision is made and the excitement builds as the new book is started is such a satisfying feeling when you finish the story only to find it so much more than anticipated. That’s how I feel right now after finishing ‘Asher’, Kathi S. Barton’s first book in her “Dragon’s Savior” series. What I initially thought was going to be a shifter story turned into so much more. Let me give you a brief explanation so you too can encounter the magic of this incredible book. Set in your mind a time when there are castles, kings, and queens. A time when magic, both white and black, filled the earth and wasn’t scoffed at. King Anthony and Queen Eve lived during such a time but sadly they came under attack. Queen Eve had six eggs she had hidden in a cave to keep them protected and after being fatally injured, per her request, her King delivered her to their extraordinary clutch, when one egg was the norm, for her to protect their miracles with her last breath. King Anthony, being injured as well, led their attackers to the castle itself. With little time left, knowing he was dying, had a faithful subject brought to him. Jacob was to marry a woman he didn’t know. They were to have six sons and each son would have one of the King’s dragons as his own for all their days and keep each other safe. Not only do we have kings, queens, and dragons but there, as I stated earlier, are those that carry and practice black and white magic, and faeries. For those of us that read Ms. Barton’s books, we know there is always a Good vs. Evil element, and at least one crazy, deranged or evil family member. This storyline checks all those boxes, including a fated, magical, chemistry between not two but three. Absolutely brilliant!
Dragons and Dragons and oh yeah more Dragons!
This is not your typical shifter read. Each of the brothers are given one dragon from birth and each relies on the other to live, if one dies they both die.
Asher (man) and Kiaran (dragon) are the first of the group to find their mate. Living for thousands of years without finding a mate the group has no idea what is in store for them or their other halves. I did put which is the dragon and which is the man because at first starting out reading this book I did get quite confused!
When Asher’s mate Essie enters the picture everyone’s lives are turned upside down. When dealing with mates you can’t always know what is going to happen! Will she be able to accept both Asher and his dragon? What about when Kiaran shows he can be a human male when on the enchanted land?
A great start to a new series with Dragons, Faeries and Witches!
