This was a slow read for me, probably a combination of reading them back to back and this storyline.Drake left Draconia as a teen because he felt he could never measure up to his father's expectations and did not deserve tobecome a knight, After fifteen years Drake is returning to deliver a message to the King of Draconia, that he felt could not be entrusted to anyone but him. Drake has become know as Drake of the Five Countries a renowed bard who travels from onecountry to another singing to earn his keep. He is also the master spy for Prince Nico the master spy for Draconia.When Drake returns he is overwhelmed by this acceptance, even from his father and the dragon Lady Jenet who had tried toclaim him years ago. He truly loves Jenet but feels that he does not deserve her as a partner and will fail in the relationship.But Drake finds out that he cannot just walk away from his home and family. He is needed to help find Prince William who hasbeen kidnapped by unknown mercenaries. At this point Drake has to develop a working with his biggest rival from his teenyears, Mace, working with Mace and his dragon, along with Jenet and Krysta, who has become the love interest of bothknights.This was a slow read because it involved more feelings than action. Drake has a lot of emotion to get through, Krysta has todecide if she wants Mace or Drake and they all have to learn how to work together while searching for Prince William.I have to say it was also one of the best books in the series, the development of the storyline was great and well handled, Iwasn't crazy about all the angst but it worked for this book.
