>>> Reviewing “ICE BLOOD – BOOK 1)” <<< Mia pushed through the door of an old inn and warmth hit her face. Voices inside told her to shut the door! She walked to the bar and paid for dinner, a room, and a drink. Mia was a dragon slayer, hoping to hear some information that would help her in her search. When a stranger walked in, her senses reacted. He introduced himself as Zaine. He noticed the sapphire on the end of her staff – a magician’s staff – used by the kind of people who hunted dragons. Zaine offered to direct Mia to the lair of a dragon he knew was terrorizing the Iron Reach eastern factories! The innkeeper made a strangled sound. But Zaine knew the other dragon was burning farms and killing people, and that would only bring ultimate destruction to Zaine’s own people. Mia sensed something about this stranger who was different from other humans, but she didn’t know exactly what. She got up and left to start hunting for the dragon’s lair. Zaine secretly watched Mia enter a cave across the way. He heard the dragon roar and saw the “iceblood” slide out of the entrance as if she were indeed sliding on ice, her staff’s sapphire glowing. The dragon hit her with its flames, but she was unaffected! A blue charge left her staff and the dragon was killed. He had to turn away and leave as she began to cut off the 5 horns of the dragon that her current boss, Gorchev, a ruthless factory owner controlling most of the coal and oil industries, would sell on the black market. Mia met Zaine at the Steamcog to discuss working for him. He told her what he needed was for her to spy on Gorchev – her current employer! -- and get documentation of his imports and exports… and she might have to deal with a dragon or two as well. She wasn’t so sure that part could be true though since Gorchev apparently hated dragons. Where would this new direction take her? And what would she do when she found out her new boss was a dragon!! >>> Reviewing “FORGE BLOOD – BOOK 2)” <<< Helga Greene worked at the forge on her newest project. She lovingly worked the metal on the anvil, this time remembering to protect her arms and face. Her parents wanted her to leave this work for men and be feminine instead of having muscles that didn’t look good in women’s clothes. They ignored her dream of having her own blacksmith shop. That night, Helga’s mother told her that they had found her a husband! Helga’s only job would be keeping house and making babies. And the man knew how to use force to keep his woman in line! To sweeten the deal, her mother had given them Helga’s blacksmith shop and everything she had created in it. All her work was being carted away, and when she tried to stop them, they beat her and broke her ribs while her weak father stood there. Prince Zaine had sent Quentin to find the amazing blacksmith who had fashioned an exquisite necklace for his “iceblood” partner, Mia. Quentin followed her scent to the workshop where he found the injured Helga and took her to the hospital to treat the broken ribs. Helga woke to find a woman, a magician healer, fixing the broken bones and her damaged lung. When the Star Rose gem was stolen, Zaine knew it had to be his enemy, Gorchev. To fight the gem’s magic, Helga designed a powerful metal and wood magician’s staff using prismatic gems. Her love and affection infused the staff and gave it a special edge to help Mia protect Zaine. Helga’s inner fire burned, taking her skill higher than ever. She refused to stop work to rest, though Quentin checked on her. The staff had to be able to stand against the Star Rose, largest gem in the world. With Zaine trying to negotiate peace, would war still erupt? Would Gorchev ever be thwarted, or would he keep coming after them until everything was destroyed? The stories in this collection will grab the reader right from the start. Betrayal is one of the leading themes throughout. But balancing that is the theme of honor, love, affection, loyalty. The stories are fast-paced and pull in the reader’s emotions – definitely worth reading!
