Dragon’s Treasure (Blood Prophecy Book 5)

Blood Prophecy, Book #5. The ultimate ending to the hottest, steamiest, most magical dragon shifter romance series ever!

SPOILER ALERT: THIS IS BOOK 5, AND THE FINALE, IN THE BLOOD PROPHECY SERIES. THIS SERIES ABSOLUTELY MUST BE READ IN ORDER. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE PRIOR FOUR BOOKS, THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS.

When last we left Aria, she was broken. After the attacks on Eric and Mateo, she’s desperate to get a handle on her magic. But the harder she tries, the more she fails. Somewhere deep inside, she knows that she’s the key to whether Gideon Zyrian succeeds or fails. And she and her dragon princes are very much at odds with the hows, whys, whens, wheres, and every detail of the inevitable showdown. While Aria fights with Bastian, Rhys, Casius, Mateo, and Erik, she also fights herself and her every instinct, going round and round until she truly thinks she’s crazy! She’s hearing voices giving her cryptic instructions, pulling her in directions she wants to avoid at any cost. But soon all that is moot. Aria’s nightmares have finally come true! Silas has vanished. His shifter protectors, save one, are dead. Aria knows exactly where Silas is, what she has to do. She should. She’s lived this scenario countless times in the visions Zyrian’s sent in her dreams. The dilemma? She doesn’t have the answers. In every permutation of every vision, Zyrian wins. Silas dies. Aria loses the Bloodstone, and Zyrian reigns supreme. Aria knows to involve her dragon mates would mean their deaths. So she creeps off with no true plan and no idea what awaits her. When Bastian, Rhys, Eric, Casius, and Mateo inevitably learn where Aria’s gone, why, and what she plans to do, nothing matters but getting her back. Life is worth nothing without Aria! And while Zyrian is weakened, he still has more than enough power to annihilate everything. Zyrian’s minions force everyone into actions over which they have no control. Can Aria harness her magic? Will it be enough? Is Silas’ death truly a certainty? And what role do the dragon princes have to play? If there’s a way to defeat Zyrian, no one knows what it is. There may be one, just one, chance. But the odds are insurmountable. To try anything else will result in the ultimate destruction. In the end, it all comes down to one thing, magic. Whose is stronger, Zyrian’s or Aria’s? If Aria, her princes, even the supernatural forces surrounding them, can’t find and hold their magic, then all is lost!

This is the finale in the Blood Prophecy series, and Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds have outdone themselves again! Filled with constant tension, danger, complete unknowns, and totally unexpected twists and turns, this book is the perfect ending to a spectacular series! Aria’s determination to end the battle with Zyrian on her terms, in her way, even while on his turf, makes the suspense unrelenting. There’s never a moment when you know what’s going to happen next or who’s going to do what. Nothing about this entire series has been predictable but this book shines in its complexity, heartrending challenges, and complete unpredictability. This is simultaneously Aria’s finest and worst hour. Her incomplete control over her magic, the double-edged sword of the Bloodstone, her inescapable love for her dragon mates, her utter devotion to Silas, and her complete recklessness and disregard for her own safety dominate this story. And Bastian, Erik, Mateo, Casius, and Rhys? For dragons who’ve known nothing but privilege, power, and control, they’re nothing without Aria. Again, this book and the series wouldn’t be as deeply complex and fulfilling without the supporting characters. Pieter, Sarina, Bea, Jesse, and most especially Silas, add a dimension to this story that sends it into the stratosphere. Lili Zander and Rory Reynolds are brilliant! This series is as compelling as they come. You couldn’t possibly ask for more. Congratulations, Ms. Zander and Ms. Reynolds! This is the perfect conclusion to an incomparable series! Thank you for again writing a book that deserves far more than five stars! You’re both outstanding!

A final note. Be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. 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 very hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the authors an extreme disservice.

Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
