The breathtaking Dark-Hunters saga continues with Dragonsworn–from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon There is nothing in the universe the cursed dragon, Falcyn, hates more than humanity . . . except Greek humans. In a war he wanted no part of, they systematically destroyed everything he’d ever cared for. Now he waits for the day when evolution will finally rid him of the … evolution will finally rid him of the human vermin.
Medea was born the granddaughter of the Greek god Apollo, and among the first of his people that he cursed to die. But she will not let anyone rule her life. Not even her notorious grandfather. And when Apollo sends a new plague to destroy what remains of her people, she refuses to stand by and watch him take everything she loves from her again.
This time, she knows of a secret weapon that can stop the ancient god and his army of demons. Once and for all. However, said device is in the hands of a dragon who wants nothing to do with politics, the gods, humanity, demons or Apollites. And especially not her. He is the immovable object.
She is the unstoppable force . . .
When Apollo makes a strategic move that backfires, he forces Falcyn back into play. Now Medea either has the weapon she needs to save her people, or she’s unleashed total Armageddon. If she can’t find some way to control the dragon before it’s too late, Falcyn will be an even worse plague on the world than the one Apollo has set loose. But how can anyone control a demonic dragon whose sole birthright is world annihilation?

The only thing I love more then dragons is big bad sexy as hell red dragon with a bad attitude named falcyn!! Talk about a guy with issues, but I love this prickly guy!!! In dragonsworn he meets his match when he meets Medea she doesn’t give two shits about pissing anyone off and that includes falcyn. Together these two are dynamite!! Talk about chemistry these two are hot for each other from the get go and it only gets hotter!! A lot of questions and secrets are answered in this third dragon series,but theirs more to come!!! One of my fave characters made a appearance SIMI !! Love this charonte demon!!! As always simi has her barbeque sauce and she’s hungry!!! What happens when a dragon god and a bad ass daimon come together? A love that not only heals these two warriors but will be a unstoppable force in stopping Armageddon!! 5 stars!!
Humorous, action-packed with strong characters, who eventually find love.
**Insight into the next book.**
Ah the cliffhanger at the end! I loved the story. It blended a lot of the various series so I didn’t recognize some of the characters but it was still worth the read for the Dark Hunter world.
Falcyn has no use for anyone. He barely tolerates his brothers most days. Madea is on a quest to find a cure for a plague unleashed on her people by Apollo. When she speaks to her brother she finds out that a drgonstone could be just what they need. The problem being there is only one still known to exist and the holder is not apt to help. When they are forced into a fight in another realm will they be able to come to a compromise where everyone gets what they need? This is another good book by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I would also suggest reading her Lords of Avalon books that were written under the name Kinley MacGregor.
I do LOVE these books. It has been awhile since I have read one. They are still as good as ever. They make your blood boil and your heart race. There is still danger, excitement and of course love to someone special. This book is no different. But the end is truly some thing else. Apollo is up to no good as usual. This time he will be involving Acheron and he has no idea what will happen. Apollo thinks he knows but Acheron has been thinking about him for a very looong time. After all Apollo was the reason Acheron was killed the first time.
Dragons… nuff said.
I loved all the dark-hunter series. All the men are so hot and yummy. Falcyn and Medea make a great couple. They both deserve some happiness in their lives. keep up the great work and thank you for another wonderful book.
Original review: https://myshelfbooks.wordpress.com/2019/01/20/dragonsworn-sherrilyn-kenyon/
It’s no secret that I thought that Dragonmark (the previous book) was a very weak reading. It scared the hell out of me, because it looked like Sherrilyn Kenyon was running out of ideas. To my relief, Dragonsworn is a much better book that erases some of the fears I had after reading Illarion’s no-book.
This time we follow the story of Falcyn, a dragon brother of Max and Illarion, and Medea, the daugther of the Daimon leaders. As we already knew, Apollo is a vengeful god who want to get rid of the Daimons making them fatally sick. Medea is looking for help and, thanks to her brother Urian, she learns about the curative capacities of a dragonstone. Too bad Falcyn’s stone is also craved by Morgen, one of the big bad wolfs of the Dark-Hunter Universe.
Even though I consider this book a leap forward from the previous one, it lacks emotion and good action. But that is just the consequence of making the good guys a bit more powerful in every book. By the 26th the main characters are gods with the ability to command armies of unbeatable demons or capable of snapping their fingers to solve their problems in a fast way (Thanos would be a mere novice among these guys!!). That means there is not really action, just a face-off to show who can muster more power without getting their hair undone. And even though everything seems a bit too easy, that doesn’t mean the pace is boring. On the contrary. One of the strengths of this book is the fast paced rhythm.
Another thing that is getting too old too fast is the multiple dimension hopping. Parallel dimensions are cool and all, but the last books in the Dark-Hunter saga and the Chronicles of Nick series have been an orgy of dimensional jumping that would give any reader a good headache in order no to get lost. I tend to feel more connected with the story in the books where most of the action takes place in our beloved mortal plane of Earth. But I must also confess that the thing I love most about Kenyon is her skill to bring the craziest elements to her stories and that sometimes means a lot of dimension hopping gathering the cream of the crop of the supernatural realms.
In my opinion, the main course of this book are the characters. And I don’t mean just Falcyn and Medea, which are OK, I mean all the rest. And being this a Dark-Hunter book, I would need about eight hands to count them all. In other books that could be a synonym of a disaster, but in a Dark-Hunter book it only means endless banter. That’s the main reason her characters are always so easy to fall in love with. They make the reader feel like one of them when they are gather in a group, no matter if big or small. No idea if that makes any sense, but it is how I feel.
The author even has time to drop a huge bomb for Urian (metaphorically speaking, of course, the former Daimon is quite well physically). I won’t reveal it over here, but I guess that what we are told will play a huge role in the next book, which is Urian’s book. I will try to read that one next month to be up-to-date with the main saga, so I can start thinking about the other series of Paranormal Romance I have started and abandoned…
this is one of my favorite authors
I am so freaking glad this one wasn’t like the previous book. I loved Falcyn. I loved Medea. I was actually happy at the romance in this book. However, all the mythological beings and terms and stuff still get hugely confusing. Highly entertaining read.
always a favorite…never a let down.
I highly recommend any Sherrilyn Kenyon’s books! The storylines are amazing and the characters make you wanna keep coming back for more!
Anything by Sherrilyn Kenyon is worth reading! Her habit of including characters from previous stories makes one feel like we know these people ( even if they’re not people all the time, lol) Totally enjoyed this story, now waiting for the next story and”what happens next” to these characters!
I anything from Sherilyn Kenyon
I have read everything Sherrilyn has written. Love all her adventures.
Wonderful all her books are great
It was wonderful couldn’t put it down.
I really liked this book. Left a big cliffhanger though. I also bought the audio and was not impressed. Some of the voices used were like fingernails on a chalkboard. Will not get audio on any other books he narrates. Book was definitely worth the money, audio was a waste.
