When Alveria is plunged into a pitch-black darkness, can a dragon-shifter labelled as "Untameable" and the dragon-hunter sent to kill her, bond together to save their world?
Laini Unclaimed, a maid at the Alveria Palace, thought supervising a kid's birthday party of young dragons was going to be the hardest part of her day. Then a never-ending darkness falls across Alveria, and an army of monsters are unleashed from the underworld. As attacks on humans and dragons rise, there's little the royals can do to protect the people from creatures impervious to magic—and many think Laini is to blame.
She's one of the first to face the terrifying monsters when she saves Prince Cade's life at the palace. After a lifetime of rejection, all the orphan wants is to find her place as an accepted member of Alverian society. But when the realm plunges into eternal night, her uncontrollable—unheard of—power awakens: the power over light and dark.
Despite whispers of suspicion and blame, Laini denies responsibility for the darkness—how could it be her when she doesn't even understand her powers? Under the king's guidance, she's sent to the prestigious Alveria Dragon Akademy to learn control of this newfound magic with a mis-fit group of other Untameables. But even the strong Akademy walls may not keep Laini safe, for a young dragon hunter lurks in the shadows, watching Laini and biding his time.
Now Laini must discover the source of her powers and banish the darkness covering Alveria—before whispers become a cry for her death. But as the truth emerges, she learns that it is far more than her own life that's at stake, it's all of Alveria.
Return to the Alveria Akademy in an all new dragon fantasy adventure!
My Review:
It was so great to read this book! I loved the first series, and to spend more time in this world-and we got to see the previous leads as adults-was just fantastic! I really enjoyed this book with a dragon who had a brand new, uncontrollable power, and a dragon hunter. It was such a great read!
I really enjoyed reading about Laini and Tyr's story. I loved their connection, because while she doesn't know, he does know that he's a dragon hunter, that he was sent there to kill her. But as he learns, she's not the one that caused this, the reason why he was sent here. So that was fun!
This book added to this world, by adding in the Norse Gods, but making them dragons. So that as an interesting take, and things like Hel and Fennir, it was just so interesting to read, and I can't wait to see how it's going to continue in the series!
That ending though! That reveal hit hard, with the gravity of what they're facing. I mean, they're facing a Goddess, and the hope to have the other Gods and Goddesses on their side died a quick death. I can't wait to see where things go from here!
Loved this book, and I'm so excited to read more of this series and of this world!
