I tried really hard to get into this book and for the most part it was ok, because who doesn't love dragons. But I don't think this book is for me. I don't know. The plot was alright.
A dragon loses his soul to an evil dragon and is now losing his life. A human, who was a serviceman, was said to have killed the dragon. Ark never killed the dragon, he knows it. But he found a stone/gem that is calling to him and a castle he can't leave. He whispers at night to someone, knowing they hear somehow but can't answer. When Orsie appears on his doorstep, he knows he has to save the young man. But what he doesn't realize is this 'young' man is quite old and is the owner of the stone he found and has been whispering to. But in the bowels of the castle lies another stone. One that is full of malice. Taunting him. And it will be up to Ark and Orsie to solve what it is and how to fix it.
I felt bad for Orsie. The life of a dragon is long and lonely. And I felt bad for Ark as well at what he was dealing with, with the higher ups in the service. Treating him the way they did. And after losing his moms. So it's been one thing after another with these two. And it's almost as if fate wanted them together to fill holes in each other's lives they never had before. And while they are getting to know each other, they are learning what is really going on and how they are starting to mean to each other. How they've kept each other somewhat sane over these long months.
It's not a bad story overall, but for me, it just wasn't what I was looking for. I hope you all enjoy it
