It starts off slow at first and the genre was not what I’m used to reading. These two factors made it a longer read than I expected. However, I stayed for the story and setting. I’ve been really interested in the time period from the 15th-17th century lately and have been reading books and watching shows set within this time period.
This book was a great magical fantasy. I quite enjoyed the storyline. The main character, Guillot, is the last of the Chevaliers of the Secret Circle. The Chevaliers were dedicated to slaying dragons during their time but have now become nonexistent. Years later, Gill is called upon by his Prince to slay the last living dragon . The dragon, Alpheratz, just awoke from a long sleep and is hungry and ready for revenge. He sets his eyes upon the small villages in the area including Guillot’s demesne. As a result, Gill must do anything he can to protect his land and people.
Guillot and Solene, the “witch” he encounters upon in the beginning of his journey, are such interesting characters. The author was able to build upon a relationship between the two while at the same time not losing the essence of the story. I’m interested to see how these characters develop in the upcoming books.
