I have been waiting for this for ages.  Really enjoyed the Banded Brothers series and this is a pseudo continuation of that.  Aden Gale, scary Dad to his son and adopted shifter sons has met has mated.  When the mating was completed with Gallen (a sorcerer with a psychotic father) Aden had a Dragon tattoo instantaneously appear on his chest - weird.  When Gallen's father attacks Aden and Gallen a dragon appears and kills him.  In a short time Aden sees another Dragon, this one is different.Jiang is a Dragon who was petrified with his fellow Dragons at the behest of the evil Emperor in 215 BC.  Well the Emperor wanted them eradicated, the head sorcerer only petrified them.  Also there were some guardian foo dogs and fenghuangs. To be awakened when touched by Vampire blood and the resurrection of a Dragon King's line.  It takes two thousand years.Turns out Aden Gale is a Dragon King, the mating triggered the resurrection.Jiang finds Aden and finds a leader, but is still seeking his Dragon brethren.  He ends up in the house with Carey, Aden's son, his mate and most of the others from Banded Brothers.  He also finds his mate, sort of.  Kurtis sort of smells like his mate, and they are destined to share a room.  Both feel the pull - the Dragon makes sure Kurtis realises they have until he finds his true mate, but in the meantime they can be together.  Kurtis was cursed to be a pigeon by an ex with a mean streak - how to break the curse?In the meantime Jiang and Aden are seeking the other Dragons and find four psychotic Chinese Phoenixes (the fenghuangs) that had been imprisoned with them and slowly went insane and who are going to burn down Seattle if they aren't found and contained.It is all on in this book, ancient dragons, sorcerers that are over two thousand years old, the King of Dragon Kings, and ancient evil Emperor, evil spells, Dragon hoards and true love.  What a story.  Waiting for the next one.If you haven't read Banded Brothers you may be lost, so I recommend you start with those.  They are really enjoyable too.
