Review - The Dragon's Devotion by Antonia Aquilante
My rating:
Corentin has a secret. Keeping it means keeping his people safe from an outside world that once hunted them down. That’s why he came to Tournai, to find out what Lord Etan and the royal family really knew about dragons, which most people thought were legends, like the giant cats protecting Tournai. Bastien is related to the royal family, but has spent most of his time running the family’s estates away from the capital since his parents died in a boating accident, along with the Crown Prince and Princess.

My rating:
Warning: This review contains spoilers regarding events in the first two books of the series. If you haven’t read them yet, you may want to skip this article.

That hurt Etan more than he would admit to anyone, leaving him no choice but to cut himself off from the friend he once thought could be more.
