I've read a lot of books where dragons reign supreme and soar above the heavens with their majestic wings. Ruth Elward, however, changed my perspective about them. Her book, The Aftermath is a well-crafted and beautifully written tale that kept me awake and made me want to keep reading for more.The Aftermath happened to be the 4th installment from the Dilemmas of a Dragonslayer series, I met the hero, Paladin Carison Destine who barely escaped the tongues of death when Lemore's plans to bond with the Diamondscale went awry. Nevertheless, the Paladin was still intent on killing the Butcher. His betrothed, Raven, was able to finally cure herself through the help of an unlikely ally.  Soon Diamondscale was born and became a true monster, made possible by Lemore, and was caught in a battle between dragons and humans.Things have gotten really interesting for the dragon slayer and the butcher. Lemor is the epitome of a villain gone wild. Carisone on the other hand, played a pivotal heroic role. These characters captivated me, and I can't wait to read what else is stored for them on the next book.  5***** for Elward and the dragons!
