A Tale of Two Dragons by G.A. Aiken is the 8th book in her Dragon Kin series. This time the couple is Addolgar the Cheerful and Braith of the Darkness. Braith has no choice but to come to Devenallt Mountain since her father summoned her there. Braith finds out from her father that Queen Addiena will ask Braith to be the companion to Lady Katarina when she returns to her home in the west and that she must accept the offer.Braith is confused by the request and while she'd like nothing better than to punch her father in the snout (since she hates him and it's not the love kind of hate) she obeys him. Still that doesn't stop her from trying to reason with Queen Addiena and telling the Queen that while she appreciates the honor, she isn't sure she's the right one for such a role.Of course Addiena says she's sure Braith is the right choice and also tells her that it was her father that suggested Braith himself. That last bit of information only makes Braith uneasy and her uneasiness grows when Addiena also tells her that her father handpicked the best escorts to go with them. Seeing as she has no choice, Braith obeys the Queen and agrees to accompany Katarina.Braith also learns that Addolgar will be coming with them and that of course makes her wish anyone but him would be joining them since Addolgar is her "one very handsome, very thick-tailed weakness."Braith soon finds out on the fourth day of their trip, that her father and her brothers have betrayed the Queen and have left her to take the fall for their betrayal. And Braith will take the fall since because of her honor she will go before the Queen and tell her what happened. Of course Addolgar knows what will happen if Braith goes before the Queen and since he won't let that happen he does the only thing he can think of. He grabs Braith's head and slams her right into a tree knocking her out cold.He tells Braith's unconscious body that since she saved his life when she killed the dragons who were going to finish Addolgar off because he was poisoned, that makes them friends. And friends help each other.So it's up to Addolgar and Braith to hunt down her father and brothers and bring them back to Queen Addiena, dead or alive.I loved Addolgar and Braith as a couple. They're so cute together. It was fun to find out more about Addolgar and to see that Braith could hold her own against the Cadwaladr Clan and especially against Bercelak. It was also nice to see the first generation of the Cadwaladr Clan again. I do adore every dragon in the Cadwaladr Clan but I do think Aliean the Wicked is my favorite.I give this book 5 stars!
