Stealing from one dragon is lunacy. Stealing from five of them? I must have a death wish.Contrary to popular opinion, I really don’t have a death wish. Yes, I’m a thief, but after almost being torn limb from limb by an irate panther shifter, I’ve given up my law-breaking ways. From now on, I’m sticking to the straight and narrow. Then Drakkar Raedwulf dangles one tempting, yet impossible job in … Raedwulf dangles one tempting, yet impossible job in front of me. Steal a gemstone from the five dragon princes.
I’m not a fool, but Silas, the closest thing I have to a father, is gravely ill. He’ll die if I can’t get him the treatment he needs. Treatments that are far more expensive than I can afford with my crappy minimum-wage job.
So I take the job.
And promptly get caught by the five princes. Bastian. Casius. Rhys. Mateo. Erik.
And that’s where my story really begins…
Because the dragons are cursed, and my blood might be the secret to freeing them.
Episode 1 of the reverse harem serial Blood Prophecy. Adult situations. Snarky heroine who likes to swear from time to time. 18+.
A new episode will be released every three weeks. Five episodes will be bundled together at the end for those who enjoy longer books so they can read it in one go. If you don’t like serials, please wait until the omnibus edition is out.more
It was a good, quick read…but unfinished. Warning….you’re basically getting the beginning of the book and that’s it. I never would have read the book had I known it was going to be one of those ongoing serials….
Good plot. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say an almost 7 on character development.
Likeable heroine and likeable heros. The writing itself would have gotten a 4 if it was finished.
****Edited Review to 4 stars from 3**** after considering what I wrote, and reading the book description….the author clearly states that this is a serial/continuing story…so I didn’t think it was right for me to give the story a 3, just because I was mad it was a serial and unfinished. Especially because the author is being up front and advertising that she is publishing it that way.
I loved the story, but HATE serials. I’ll wait and purchase the full book when it’s complete.
This is the first installment of a Reverse Harem serial. There will be five installments and they are novella length and will come out every three weeks. So you don’t have to wait to find out what happens next.
The first part is an introduction to the world, the characters and the story. It starts with quite a bang as we meet Aria. She is a great character. Smart, strong and very loyal. She will do anything for the one she loves, even if that means breaking a promise.
The 5 Dragon prince are very different. I love it when each characters has there own voice.
I can’t wait to read the next installment, because i want to know what happens next.
Shifters are real. Magic exists. Myths are often truth. Such is the beginning of our story. The Bloodstone holds all the magic in the world. The dragons used to have access to that magic. A curse has stolen that power and affected every shifter race. To end the curse, the remaining five dragon princes must find their mates. There are many types of shifters with the dragons at the top of the heap. But after over 500 years, Bastian, Casius, Rhys, Mateo, and Erik, the last five remaining dragon princes, have nearly given up hope of finding their mates. They know who’s behind the curse, but they’re powerless without the Bloodstone’s magic. Enter Aria. She’s 100% Norm. Not a single drop of shifter blood in her. Always an outsider, she’d thought she finally found her place. Silas Archer’s a wolf shifter and was the best of the best when he taught Aria to be a thief. But life’s seldom fair. Silas is ill. They can’t afford the treatments, much less the cure. Aria came a hair’s breadth from getting caught red-handed stealing dragon’s blood, the single most dangerous substance in the world. Oh, she got it. She even found a buyer. But it’s not nearly enough. When a mysterious shifter contacts Aria with a proposition, everything could change. What does he want? Simple really. Aria’s to walk into the Valhalla Ball where the crème de la crème of shifter society, and the five dragon princes, will be partying, steal the Bloodstone, and return it to the mystery shifter. If she fails, Silas dies. Piece of cake, right? Not so much! Aria’s clueless about the obstacles in her path. Every contact she has, every instinct in her, tells her to run as fast as she can away from this job. But she can’t. Silas needs her. As Aria plots, schemes, and plans, she makes the boldest moves of her life. Can she do this? Despite the plethora of information provided from shifters and Norms alike, she’s still completely ignorant of what lies before her and exactly what she’s risking. And dragons don’t take kindly to thieves. Will Aria even be able to get into the ball? If so, is she skilled enough to grab the Bloodstone? Can she escape? And what about the dragon princes? You DON’T rile up dragons…unless you want to end up a crispy critter! It’s going to take every ounce of strength, courage, skill, and cunning Aria has to make this work. The question is, does she have it? Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds have introduced us to a very special new series that I flew through and can’t wait to read more of. This is a quick read. I absolutely adored this story. Aria is captivating. Her story, loyalty and love for Silas, boldness, creativity, cunning, and skill are inspirational. Bastian, Casius, Rhys, Mateo, and Erik each have vastly differing personalities and are hotter than hot! (Please excuse the pun, since they are dragons.) The entire story is enchanting and magical. I was shocked when I finished so quickly. Oh, and fair warning, this book ends on a massive cliffhanger! But never fear! There is a sequel coming soon. (At least I hope it’s soon!) Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds have created a masterful first book in a new series that will captivate you. If you love sci-fi, magic, shifters, and erotic romance, you couldn’t ask for a better beginning to a new series. Congratulations, Ms. Zander and Ms. Reynolds! You’ve done an outstanding job, and I can’t possibly give this book anything less than five stars. One final note. Be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It does contain explicit language. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this book may not be for you. Think hard before buying any book you know you won’t enjoy. There are synopses and reviews available on Amazon and Goodreads. Use these resources. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. It’s not fair to the authors! They work hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the authors an extreme disservice. Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
