The first in an enthralling new mini-series of novellas from the #1 bestselling authors of the House of Night, Dragons Oath tells the story behind the House of Nights formidable fencing instructor - the love that will transform him, and the promise that will haunt him
In early 19th century England, long before hes a professor at the Tulsa House of Night, Bryan Lankford is a troublesome yet talented human teen who thinks he can get away with anything… until his father, a wealthy nobleman, has finally had enough, and banishes him to America. When Bryan is Marked on the docks and given the choice between the London House of Night and the dragon-prowed ship to America, he chooses the Dragon - and a brand new fate.
Becoming a Fledgling may be exciting, but it opens a door to a dangerous world.... In 1830s St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, Dragon Lankford becomes a Sword Master, and soon realizes there are both frightening challenges and beautiful perks. Like Anastasia, the captivating young Professor of Spells and Rituals at the Tower Grove House of Night, who really should have nothing to do with a fledgling…
But when a dark power threatens, Dragon is caught in its focus. Though his uncanny fighting skills make him a powerful fledgling, is he strong enough to ward off evil, while protecting Anastasia as well? Will his choices save her—or destroy them all?
Review
“Ms. Davies breathes life into Dragon and gives him heart and soul… [She] makes the listener feel the anguish and loss that Dragon feels when he is disowned. She captures his wonder at his newfound abilities and opportunities. And she shares his zest for life as he tries to win Anastasias heart…I look forward to the Cast team creating more novellas in this vein, and hope that Ms. Davies will be there to bring them to life on audio.” - Teens Read Too
“…I was immediately intrigued and captured by the voice. The reader is Caitlin Davies and she has such a perfect voice for reading…I began listening at my computer and then took it with me in the car. Thats when I got hooked and didnt want to turn off the car. I strongly recommend this audio book to anyone.” - Once Upon a Twilight
“The Casts spin a tale of love, treachery and heartache…The voice, tone and accent that [Caitlin Davies] gives Dragon is perfect. Sounding exactly how I imagine he would.” - Annas Book Blog
Review
“Now that I know about Dragon's life with Anastasia, I understand the man's need for vengeance. The reason for his cold efficiency in duty makes perfect sense. With this new novella series, readers will receive insights that may enhance the full-length [House of Night] series.” - Huntress Reviews (5 stars!) on Dragon's Oath
