Product Description
From Booklist
The sequel to Dragon Bones (2002) opens with Tisala, a young noblewoman, escaping from the secret torture chambers of the corrupt King Jakoven. Knowing that she will endanger anyone with whom she seeks refuge, she flies to a powerful friend, Ward of Hurog. She brings news that Jakoven intends to attack Ward's cousin, and Ward knows he must act. When the king's soldiers arrive at Hurog, Ward goes with them willingly, hoping to stave off an attack on his land and his cousin. His faithful mage, Oreg, who happens to be a dragon, follows at a distance, hoping to save Ward. To learn the power behind the mystical stone Farsonsbane, Jakoven, who has obtained it, has Ward tortured and discovers that Ward's blood activates the stone. When Ward escapes, Jakoven seeks a half-brother of Ward's to use his blood instead. Thereafter the stakes are raised dramatically when Ward and his friends rescue the king's imprisoned brother, Kellen, who intends to overthrow his evil sibling. A thrilling adventure for fantasy lovers. Kristine Huntley

Better than its cover,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dragon Blood (Mass Market Paperback)
Arguably this novel has the world's most atrocious fantasy cover painting ever. I haven't seen a cover this schlocky since about 1974. I hope the cover doesn't drive people away from the book, which is really clever, captivating, and funny (without being cloying). There's good dramatic tension between the characters and a worthwhile plot line that builds on (and is really more adeptly handled than) the plot of the first book in the series. I look forward to reading Briggs' next book -- this one was good, and I think she's steadily improving. But, gah, her editor really needs to find her a more appropriate cover artist.

Dragon Blood,

This review is from: Dragon Blood (Mass Market Paperback)
Patricia Briggs is a wonderful writer and I've enjoyed each and every book that I've bought of hers--this one included. She has a marvelous imagination and the ability to bring the reader into the story. Her books are hard to put down--no, that's wrong, they're impossible to put down.Mary Veelle
