The greatest enemy is the one within.Prince Kai Afkarr-Younger hides a dangerous secret—he’s been infected with the Nightmare Plague. Exhausted from battle and illness, he must force himself to stay awake or risk spawning yet another monster attack on the already beleaguered city; an impossible undertaking without the strength of his tamer.Mari Asadottier will do whatever it takes to keep Kai’s … do whatever it takes to keep Kai’s infection secret from Alveria’s scheming Council. Without the power she offers through their bond, he’ll never make it through the coronation ceremony in his weakened condition. And without the strong leadership only Kai can provide, Bellsor will devolve into pandemonium.
But their efforts to protect Bellsor are hampered when Kai collapses shortly after being crowned, spawning the deadliest monster of all. Driven to defeat what he’s created, Kai nearly loses himself in a rogue animalistic frenzy. Only Mari’s persistence brings him back from the brink, and sets him upon the path to discovering Chaos’s nightmarish plan to destroy the Sources of Magic.
If they want any hope of defeating Chaos and protecting magic, Kai and Mari must hunt down and save the Primal Sources of Magic before they are gone forever—and Chaos reigns supreme.

A thrilling and exciting fantasy story, filled with action, magic and romance (though subtle at times) which makes for a great page turner! I love Ava’s style of writing and character development. Every chapter leaves you wanting more of the story.

Just finished Dragon’s Source and again a fast paced follow up, I could not put it down. Action packed series that leaves me ready for the next book. Hoping to see Chaos finally defeated and a happy ending for Kai and Mari.

Another great addition to the series! The author brings an exciting story with strong characters in Kai and Mari and takes them on an adventurous journey. It’s a dragon filled story with tons of magic. The scenes are described in vivid detail and the story flows fluidly. I loved this book and am looking forward to more!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
This novel was a very good sequel to The Dragon’s Guard. More action, adventure, and Chaos! It continues where the Dragon’s Guard left off, with Kai preparing to be crowned king and Mari keeping his secret from the Council, whom does not wish for Kai to be king. Kai does not have much control over his powers, but gets some help from Mari and still fears his magic, which it what Chaos thrives on. Chaos has big plans and his actions could destroy all magic. Mari is strong and believes in Kai, but has to figure out her own creation magic and an unlikely source knows much about that that will make Mari very suspicious about this person’s agenda. It is a race against time to stop Chaos and figure out his true goals. Mari and Kai have to back to the beginning, when everything was first created, but they face much opposition. That does not stop Kai and Mari, but each will have to overcome their own fears to stop Chaos. Mari believes in Kai, but she needs him to believe in himself and accept all parts of who he is. 4.5 stars

The Nightmare Plague manufactured and released by the god, Chaos, that infected Prince Kai Afkarr-Younger is becoming more virulent and now dragon tamer Mari Asadottier and Kai have figured out what Chaos is trying to do. If he can find and destroy the Sources of Magic, he will reign supreme.
Mari is trying to do anything she can to hide Kai’s infection from Alveria’s scheming Council. Without the power she gives through their bond, he won’t make it through the coronation ceremony as weakened as he is and Bellsor will sink into pandemonium. Kai and Mari must hunt down and save the Primal Sources of Magic – but how will they find them?
This is a wonderful addition to this series and highlights the relationship between Kai and Mari and what they have to battle with to save everyone. The vivid descriptions of the surroundings and action bring this world to life around the reader. Grab your copy and don’t miss this exciting adventure!
I wish I’d started with the first book in the series. If the 2nd is any indication of how great the others are. I can foresee that I am going to be spending a lot of money and getting a ton more books. I can’t wait to read them all.
About this part of the story:
It gives a short summary of what has happened leading up to the start of this installment. Which this one being my introduction was very nice. It wasn’t slow and was well paced. I can’t wait for the story to continue.
