For centuries, V has waited to awaken from his doomed sleep and reclaim his destiny. But this Dragon King—one among a legion of legendary warriors sworn to protect the human race from darkness—must first find a way to win back his sword

Every inch of him was molded as if from granite…and her blood ran like fire...

Claire may possess the beauty and soul of a goddess but V knows better than to mess with a mere mortal. But if she learns the truth about who—and what—he really is, her memories of him would be erased forever. How can V love Claire truly, madly, deeply…and protect her from the forces of fire and darkness that could destroy them both?

Thank you Goodreads and St. Martin's Press for a chance to read Ignite by Donna Grant!

Ignite is the fifteenth book in the Dark Kings series by Donna Grant in a goodreads giveaway. This series is part of the Dark World Universe. You could read this book first but you would miss out on a lot of the back story. You would also miss out on the chance to see (V also known as Vald) and Claire's relationship develop. This truly has become a nice series. It brings to light new faces along with a deeper look into the Dragon Kings and where they come from.

The characters are wonderful. It's nice to read about some of the regular characters and have their story line build. There was a nice cliffhanger at the end of this story so I will definitely be looking forward to the next one. Overall, I was very happy with this book. Happy reading everyone enjoy!! ( )

Wow!

For those who have been following the Dark World series Ignite does not disappoint. V and Claire are so good together. More clues, more answers, and of course more questions but one step closer to what we've all been waiting for. Donna takes you on a fantastic journey and always leaves you wantng more. If you are new to the books start from the beginning you will not be disappointed. ( )

Ignite by Donna Grant
Dark Kings #15

Donna Grant has created a world that makes her readers want to return, find out what is happening next and then they eagerly await the next book in the series. The only series I have read all of, so far, is The Reapers and having read each and every one of those books I KNOW it well. Sure, some of the other worlds/series/groups might have been mentioned and have impacted The Reapers but it was a group that was easy to follow beginning to end. That said...I did NOT read the other books in the overall series (and looking on Goodreads now I see there are perhaps nearly fifty books total in the overlapping worlds/series). So…

* Dark Swords Series: I have not read any of the books in this series so have not a clue what they are about.
* Dark Warriors Series: None of those either
* Druids Glen Series: Again...not one read by me
* Dark Kings: now five of the fifteen
* Reapers: all of them

Now...it seems, after reading what I have read, this “world” is one populated by beings that are very interesting. They have their own myths and histories that sometimes overlap and create opportunities for interaction. A dragon might sleep for centuries then wake, find a mate and then the two will live happily for centuries together. Or, Druids might supposedly be all gone from the earth...or are they? And, there are light and dark Fae/fairies that impact humans and the rest of the universe(s). I have not a clue about the Warriors and Sword group so have no idea how they might (or might not) fit into what is coming AND...something IS coming. There is a fight that is building and who will be involved and what is at stake is still a bit blurry in my mind. I know that there are “The Others” who are in opposition to the dragons and some others but what their goal is and how they will be thwarted is...a mystery. And so, still unsure what has happened before and wanting to know what will come next and hoping that some of the characters I know already (that have not found their mates) will find a HEA...I will gladly read whatever book comes my way to read in hopes it will lead me to a conclusion for the dragons and all the rest. I mean...wouldn’t it be grand if the dragons sent away all return someday?

And there I know I have lost you BECAUSE if you have not read any of these books you won’t have a clue what I am talking about because….

This is a series better read from beginning to end (although I have not).

This book DID have a short synopsis that I am sure those who have read all books in the series shook their head over and skimmed rapidly and those who have read none of the previous books read and then scratched their heads over wondering what they had missed.

And...in the midst of the few mentions of what is happening in this fantasy universe there was a romance. V did meet his mate, Claire, and they had a great romance indeed. They do have a few issues to deal with related to one being a dragon and one being human but otherwise...a great romance to read.

I do have a question I hope will be resolved...how will dragons continue if the ones sent away cannot come back or are dead AND if the dragon kings cannot find mates to create progeny for them.

Anyway…

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Do I want to read more in this series? Yes
Do I wish I had read the series from beginning to end? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the Arc – This is my honest review.

A well writing intoxicating into the hearts of dragons. This is definitely a read that you can just lose yourself in.
