Dragon Den

Ok, so this book caught my attention because of the dragon on the front and the fact that it was called Dragon Den. I had no idea what to expect other than the short little blurb.

This book was a wild, exciting, non-stop ride from start to finish. I started and could not stop. All other books I was reading went on an immediate hold while I sped through this story.

Markus is a bad-boy with a soft spot for the good girl, Amira. Amira is the sister of an incredibly intimidating, overprotective brother Tobias, so Markus has to work some serious bro-magic to get anywhere close to Amira.

The book takes place mainly in Seattle and Portland, and is set in a world exactly like ours but with dragons that have been around since the beginning. The idea is that they hibernate all year in volcanoes around the world, but on the summer solstice when the dragons come out, a few daring, gifted souls can break said dragons and become a Goldwing (essentially a member of the dragon army).

Markus has his sights set on breaking the biggest, baddest dragon out there, a Black Clubtail. But on the solstice, things don’t go the way he was hoping, and he ends up staying at the Dragild Military Academy by a stroke of sheer luck.

As Marcus gets pulled into a world of espionage and secrecy he never expected to be a part of, can he get everything he wants? Will he actually walk away with a dragon, a girl, and the life of his dreams?

I absolutely adored this book! I finished in within 24 hours. It instantly had me hooked from the first chapter. From my love of Fourth Wing, it was very easy to grab ahold of and understand. But it is so unique in many ways! I couldn’t predict what would happen next. I would have liked more story and character building, but overall I loved this read. Hoping there will be a sequel!

“My head feels light from the elevation, but I’ve never felt so alive. So free. Part of it comes from Loki. Two minds, one wavelength.”

📌Summary:
The story follows our hero, Markus Fredriksen, who after failing to break a dragon at Dragild Military Academy
( a school for dragon riders), has to complete a mission in order to stay in school. He is given a dragon named Loki and
the mission is to infiltrate the clan running the Dragon Den, suspected of hijacking semi-trucks carrying precious obsidian. Markus has to succeed in his mission while falling for clan leader’s daughter, Amira.

📌Review:
The book is a mix of Fourth Wing and Fast and Furious. It is set in a modern world where dragons have been there since the beginning. So it was very exciting to read about dragons racing in modern cities.

The book is action packed, it is literally non stop. I really
liked the connection between Markus and his dragon.

I wanted the book to be a little bit longer so we could have a chance to get to know the characters more.

I will definetely read the sequel when it comes out.

📌Thoughts: If you love Fast and Furious mainly and Fourth Wing, the book comes out on the 20th of June and it’s waiting for you.

Thank you Yggdrasil Press for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley.

I really enjoyed this book. It was so unique mixing real world with dragons. And the racing scenes gave me anxiety! (In a good way). I fell in love with Loki and have so many questions about Amira and Tobias’s mother. There is so much more to this story and I really hope this becomes a series!
