Dragons & Druids Book 1: Skyborn by Leia Stone

Skyborn (Dragons & Druids, #1)
Dragon & Druids Book 1
Alone, on the run, and fighting for her life. 

Sloane Murphy thought hiking the Grand Canyon alone after graduation would be an awesome adventure. Until she slips and starts to plummet to her death. Then the unthinkable happens. 

She transforms into… a dragon. 

After flying to safety and trying to convince herself she isn’t having a mental breakdown, the hunters come for her. She runs, somehow managing to stay one step ahead of them. Until her luck runs out. Now the hunters have her and they intend to kill, not capture. 

That’s when he comes for her. 

Logan Sharp is the last dragon shifter alive. Or so he thinks, until he gets word that the druids are hunting a red headed female. His team takes her in, sheltering her because there is a truth she must learn: if the skyborn die out, then so does humanity. 

But Sloane is hiding a dark secret that she doesn’t even know yet. A secret that could change everything.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Between the different mythologies of shifters, sorcerers, and druids, I believe this series has real potential. I always love reading stories with those elements, and when I saw this dealt with dragon shifters, I was instantly intrigued. The world created by Leia Stone, is definitely a unique one compared to others I read and I am very interested to see where this series was going. With a cast of different and diverse characters, I believe the series has real potential. When an accident occurs Sloane discovers that she has the ability to shape into a dragon. At first she believes she is crazy, then as she is hunted by hunters who wish to kill her because of what she is, she meets Logan and those sworn to protect him. Logan was thought to be the last dragon shifter. But after finding Sloane, he realizes he is no longer alone. Skyborn aka dragon shifters are to be protected by other animal shifters. For dragons are what keeps humanity safe. And in this world, humans do not know or believe in the existence of magic. With an interesting origin story that involves the Fae and druids, Sloane is learning that she is not just a dragon shifter but something else as well. With action, adventure, and a romance  between Sloane and Logan that seems to be more than just attraction, the story is definitely one I am interested in seeing where it goes.
