Life, death, and rebirth, Isis's and Osiris's future hinges on all three. A century ago, the Dragon Kingdom of Nebty was lost to darkness. Invaded by demon hordes hellbent on stealing two powerful scepters, the Demon King claimed the preternatural realm as his own. To survive, the dragons fled their beloved home and sought refuge in the human realm. Having lived most of their lives in human form, Queen Isis and Rock Dragon Osiris, mere children during the Great Exodus, find themselves clinging to their culture and the ties that bind what's left of Dragonkind. Safe and assured that they are free from the threat of demons, their love flourishes. Yet, on one horrific night, their lives are shattered by tragedy and betrayal. They learn that no realm is beyond the brutal reach of the Demon King. Scores must be settled. Love must be remembered. And a lost nation must be reclaimed. This review is for "Dragon Lore and Love" by N.D. Jones, part of the 20 Shades of Shifters anthologyI greatly enjoyed the love story of Isis and Osiris. This is a wonderful story full of love and loss, friendship and betrayal, good and evil. I loved the characters. Isis, particularly, is so strong. Even after suffering great tragedy, she does not give up, and her mother and sister were great secondary characters, too. I highly recommend this story. Goodreads Review What a concept similar yet so different! The world building is amazing and detailed without over whelming the plot. The use of Egyptian Mythology to link the Dragon lore to Earth was nothing short of brilliant! The mystery surrounding the murder of Osiris and near death of Isis are wrapped in deception! It would appear it is time to take back what belongs to Dragon kind! A wonderful story full of action with a good dose of magic and mayhem! Goodreads Review N. D.
