The Book Junkie Reads . . . Drakon’s Promise (Blood of the Drakon, #1) . . .
An
introduction to a new series that will challenge you thought and views of
possible otherworldly half-breed being present and what they could do. I love dragon
and the such. I believe this was the first time that I heard drakon. I have
lots of dragon shifters and various books and this was the first that I could
recall with the term and the depth. I may have experienced some of the verbage
but that doesn’t matter now. I am talking on this one.
I
enjoyed getting to know Darius. He was what should be expected of a
drakon/dragon. He was strong alpha, determined,
no-nonsense, self-assured, and a straight shooter. I got myself a read that had
danger, intrigue, a sexy hot alpha and a likeable heroine, Sarah.
I
was captivate by Darius and Sarah and I stayed for the brother and what would
come of them. I wanted to know all that I could to keep my tied to this world.
I want more of the rest. I am certain to fall in love with them.

Darius
Varkas is a drakon. He's neither human nor dragon.
He's
both.
He's
also the target of an ancient order who want to capture all drakons for their
blood. When fresh, a drakon's blood can cure any illness and prolong a human's
life, and the Knights will stop at nothing to get it.
When
librarian Sarah Anderson stumbles across a rare book belonging to the Knights
of the Dragon, she's quickly thrust into a dangerous world of secrets and
shifters and things she never would have believed possible. When the Knights
realize Sarah has a secret of her own, she becomes just as much a target as
Darius. Her scary dragon shifter just might be her best chance at survival.

“Sarah, it’s vitally important I get
that book. I need you to think about the security at work. Cameras, guards,
alarms, everything.” He’d need to get schematics of the building and more. But
he’d start here, with his best inside source. Of course, if she was working
with the Knights, this might be nothing more than an elaborate plot to capture
him.
It was a risk he had to take.
“You don’t need to know that,” she
began.
Darius caught her face in his hands
and cradled her cheeks in his palms. “I do, Sarah, I really do. I’m not worried
about my life, but those of people close to me.” That was the most he could
give her.
“No, you don’t.”
Disappointment seeped into him, and
he released her and straightened to his full height. “How much?”
“What?” She sounded bewildered, but
he wasn’t buying it. If she wasn’t willing to give him the information he
needed, it was because she wanted something. In his vast experience with humans,
that meant money in one form or another. It used to be gold and jewels.
Nowadays, it was more likely to be a simple bank transfer.
He put his hands on his hips and
simply stared at her, trying not to get lost in her chocolate-brown eyes. They
appeared so innocent. “How much for the information?”
She jumped to her feet and glared at
him. “You son of a bitch. I’m risking a lot to warn you about the book and
everything else.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
No way could he let her go until he had the information he needed. “The quicker
you give it to me, the faster I can pay you. Then you can leave.”
She fisted her hands at her sides.
“I ought to let you pay for it.” Then she fumbled with her knapsack and yanked
open the zipper. He wondered if she had a weapon of some kind, and cursed
himself for not searching her earlier. Not that it would do her much good. Most
conventional weapons, at least any that could fit in her bag, wouldn’t do much
damage to him. But it would piss him off.
She reached inside the bag and,
instead of a weapon, pulled out an old, leather-bound book. She thrust it
against his stomach, and he caught it before it dropped to the floor.
“Here’s your damn book. I smuggled
it out of work at great personal risk. You’re welcome.” She stepped around him
and strode to the elevator. Sarah slapped her palm against the panel, but
nothing happened. Only he could make it work.
Darius stared at the book and then
back at the very angry woman waiting for an elevator that would never come.
An unusual sensation enveloped him,
one he’d rarely felt in the thousands of years he’d been alive. It was shame
with a hint of bewilderment.
He might have just made the biggest
mistake of his life.
