When I first saw this released I thought it was a re-print of one I'd already read, but I was thrilled to find it was new. After I started reading it I was reminded of why I love the Dragon kin so much and just how much I've missed reading about them! This is a novella, so a little shorter than most of Aiken's other Dragon Kin books, but it had all the laughs and loveable characters that the others have. This is a prequel of the others, and tells the story of Addolgar (Bercelak's brother and Ailean's son) and his mate Braith, how they meet and fall in love and hints at the fall of Addiena, as well as some insight about Shalin, Ailean, Bercelak and Ghleana and Braith's kin the Penardduns. The beginnings of the war with the Lightnings and how it came about was an interesting tidbit as well, and the epilogue brought us back to the last book in the series, hinting at the next story which appears to Eibhear's story.The book will have you laughing out loud, so careful where you read it or you might draw too much attention or get thrown out, and if this is your first Dragon Kin book you will fall in love with the characters and want to start reading the entire series! If you're already a fan, get this book you won't want to miss this one.Can't wait for the next one, this was just a tease...now I want more!
