It's a dragon story and I like dragons so I enjoyed this tale. The author has created dragons who are shape changers and often appear as humans. There was a time when dragons were hunted until they nearly vanished. The Order of St. George, a group of dragon hunters that still exists, was responsible. Now the dragons of Talon can walk among humans, hiding from their enemies so their numbers have grown. The goal appears to take over the human world. Will they be able to do so?
In this book, the reader meets Ember and Dante Hill, brother and sister, the only known dragon pair so related. They are young dragons who live for a time as humans to learn how to act as them. It's understandable that Ember wants to live as a human teen, a freedom she will lose when she becomes part of Talon. Her brother is more serious and believes in Talon. He's not interested in playing human. Enter Garret St. James, hunter, has sworn to seek and destroy dragons, and wonders who Ember really is. Since her human desires and confidence pair with bravery he continually asks himself is she a dragon or just an ordinary human?
Riley, once a member of Talon, left because he thinks dragons and humans can live together in harmony. There is no need for dragons to dominate the world. Ember finds his view a real possiblilty contrary to what her brother thinks.
The romance and apparent conflicts between the three are all too obvious. Ember finds romance and the conflicts arise as the story unfolds. All characters have roles to play based on their training, backgrounds and experiences. Their interaction opens the eyes of all as they begin to understand more about themselves and the world in which they live. The next book, Rogue, should reveal more about Riley when this character takes more of a key role.
