I will never be controlled again.

A manipulative dragon shifter. A sexy phaetyn prince. Me? I shouldn’t even exist.

With peace established in Verald, I should be free; Lord Tyrrik is liberated from his blood oath, after all. But the freedom in Verald is an illusion. If I remain, destruction will surely follow.

As soon as I come into my powers, the blood-thirsty emperor of Draecon will know. Even now, he is hunting me.

When a Phaetyn prince arrives promising safety, the solution seems perfect. A little too perfect. But is the objective of our group security or something more? Because everyone is telling me what my goals should be.

Who do you trust when everyone has lied to you?

Should I listen with my head – or my heart?

I might not get a choice.

If you love dark fantasy, you'll be riveted by The Darkest Drae Series because of the pulse-pounding action and slow-burn romance. Scroll up and one-click now!

Due to thematic elements this series is recommended for mature YA+

Yey for Drae!

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book picks up almost right where the last one left off. Ryn is now free and smarting from learning the truth about Tyrrick. I loved how the relationship between Ryn and Tyrrick evolves. I love that Ryn holds her own and doesn't just get over it in a day. There has to be open and honest discussions between the two of them and Ryn has to keep in mind the hell Tyrrick went through too and what it might have done to him. I wanted to smack her a few times when she wasn't yet ready to look at it from his perspective because she was still stuck on how she felt. Then again most 18 year olds struggle seeing the other side when they are hurting. My other favorite relationship in this book was seeing the father/daughter bond between Ryn and Dyter. It is great to see a book portray the importance of that relationship and not just the romance with a male.

I so enjoyed seeing Ryn learn about being a Drae and what we learn of the Drae race. On the flip side, I wasn't so thrilled with the Phaetyn prince. I wanted everyone to leave Ryn and Tyrrick alone to explore their feelings and it was clear Kamoi wasn't on the same page as me. Ryn learns that no race or kingdom is a paradise in so long as the emperor is around. Ryn grows and makes her decisions and I cannot wait to see where the next book takes us.

Not as good as first, but still ok

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018

I enjoyed the first book in this series, obviously enough to read the second.
Cons:
-My main issue in both books is Ryn. She was ALWAYS angry about something, constantly throwing tantrums and treating kings and queens disrespectfully. Basically she acted like a spoiled 12 year old the whole time. She was quite self-centered.. I would have loved to see more growth in her as long as other admirable qualities such as compassion, bravery, generosity... but it seemed like she became even more naive and immature since book 1, which I don't get if she is an 18 year old who grew up in a war torn, starving land her whole life. I would think she would be a little tougher and less emotional.
-Also I couldn't get passed the way she spoke.. she speaks like a homeschooled teenager from the 21st century, while as everyone else's speech matches the background world. A lot of her inner dialogue was just... unnecessary and cringeworthy.
Pros:
Loved Tyrrik. Definitely favorite character and worth the read for him lol. Except he was out of it most of the time!

It was entertaining, not as good as the first one, and like I said, Ryn will annoy you. But I got through it. Haven't decided if I will read book 3 yet.

and who better to help her through it than Lord Broody-Pants

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018

This one picks up from the devastation left by the ending of Blood Oath. It follows Ryn and Dyter, and yes, Lord Tyrrik the Drae, on their adventure to the Phaetyn kingdom where Ryn has the chance to learn more about her Phaetyn side. But as her 18th birthday approaches, she she must face the fact that her Drae side will come into play, and who better to help her through it than Lord Broody-Pants, the Drae she can't seem to shake. When she faces this change, the emperor of Draecon will know and will hunt her down. Secrets are revealed that we never expected, and when the tables turn, Ryn discovers not only how powerful she truly is but where her loyalties lie.

With each new addition to this story, I get pulled in deeper. There is so much more to the stories than we see from the outside, and everything comes from these two authors with such vibrancy and excitement that it leaves the story with no down-time. There is continuous backstory as we learn more about every character and their parts in this tale. It is beautifully and colorfully written, and makes me yearn for the next one.

Holy Mistress Moons!!!

Holy Mistress moons!!! I can't coherently put into words what this book has done to me, but I'm going to try!

These ladies surpassed what they did in book 1. I could NOT put this down. There were omg moments, ball your eyes out moments, and wtf moments. This book follows almost directly after the first with maybe a day or two gap. In this book we get see a whole new side to Tyrrik, you know, since the events of the last book happened. And its a side I'm liking, not that I didn't like him in book 1. You also get to see Ryn grow into her new powers and destiny. I love how Raye and Kelly take us on this journey with Ryn and allow us to learn and grow with her.

To say the least I loved this book! I am dying for the next one! I suggest, that you clear your schedule to read this because once you start, you won't want to stop.

Holy crap, that was good!!!!

I fell in love with this series within the first couple chapters of its first book. Thankfully, this one was already out so I was able to keep reading, and the Book God's shined upon me as the newest showed up on my kindle last night, how's that for timing!! This suffered from absolutely no middle book syndrome, it's actually just as good if not a bit better than the first. The world is bleak, scary and in need of its ruler having his ass whooped. I loved Ryns discovery and acceptance of all that was ( dont want to spoil anything) but the fact that it was not instant, and she struggled with everything endeared me more to her. I never can seem to find the right words when I really love a book, they seem to escape me. I really, really, really loved this, like, I'm picking it up every moment I can to have read it. When I can picture the story in my head like a movie playing out and want to shut my eyes in the tense and scary parts, that, for me, is why I read, and the fact I completely can lose myself within it's words and transport myself to be the main character. Bravo awesome authors, I'm off to read your new one and continue the adventure. I do hope the Emperor turns into a tasty snack!!!

These authors have created magic for us readers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2018

Oh my did I love and enjoy this book as much as the first, actually I think I enjoyed it more!

Ryn grows and develops in this book but is still her usual funny self. I love her as a character and her attitude to everything around her but she also has a heart of gold. Her inner monologues crack me up and she's no longer as naive as she once was, which in some ways is sad, but in the world she's in she needs to be clever and guarded.

Yet again the world building is sublime. As I was reading I could clearly see each place described in my mind. This is one of those books where I really am transported into the boom itself and felt like I was experiencing, seeing and smelling everything the characters did.

Now to Tyrrik, my dear, dear Tyrrik. Oh how my heart fell even more for him in this book, so much so that I'd quite happily push Ryn aside and take her place, except I respect Ryn. Tyrrik is a beacon of strength for Ryn and would do pretty much anything for her, even if she doesn't agree with it. Their relationship didn't have the best of starts, but in this book they get to know and understand each other better.

This book would get a gazillion stars from me if I could give that many. I really loved reading it and enjoyed it so much. I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series, and am also hoping that both of these authors don't just stop at writing three books together as they've created magic with these books which I'm addicted to.

Freaking Awesome!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2018

This book did not disappoint. I loved it. Raye and Kelly have created a fantasy world that I did not want to leave. I love Ryn she is feisty, determined and God help you if you loss her off or hurt those she love's. Some real laugh out loud moments, in particular some of the scenes where she calls Tyrik some choice names. The relationship between Ryn and Tyrik was beautiful and I sometimes wanted to scream at her via my kindle to just accept him as her mate and jump his hot bones. Great book, had it all. Excited for the release of book three.

Ten times better than the first one ! Gonna miss these characters and their quirks u til the next book releases 😭 can't wait to see what the next book brings for them! So satisfied with the way things progressed during the book, like a breath of fresh air after being just as frustrated as the characters themselves over petty stuff lol x got to love a bit of stubbornness and sass 😉😎

Brilliant, funny, gripping read....

Book 2 gets top marks. I love Ryn's character, sarcy and dry, fierce and beautiful, and her burgeoning Drae nature is a very satisfying - and frequently hilarious - character arc. I didn't dare hope this book would be as gripping as the first, but it was. I can't wait for Number 3, but inevitably - given I don't have a time machine - will in fact have to wait until its release in May. Highly recommended to fans of thrilling fantasy fiction with a dash of romance.

A really good story spoiled by the batman like expletives and a lot of pancakes. Makes the heroine appear more like a ten year old than a strong woman.
