Forgotten Kingdoms Book 2: Of Dragons & Desire by GK DeRosa

 

Forgotten Kingdoms Book 2

A lost princess.

Two dragon princes fighting for her heart.

A love that will either destroy their kingdom or save them all.

Raised in a world where humans are oblivious to magic, I always thought I was ordinary. Until a breathtakingly handsome stranger pulled me into a world where creatures of unimaginable power reign, hidden from mortal eyes.

The whispers in my mind? They weren't madness. It was the voice of my inner beast. It turns out I’m not a human at all—I’m a dragon princess.

My infuriating captor claims it's my destiny to marry a prince, to become the savior of an ancient dragon race, and end a curse that's left them barren. But Draconia, the isle of dragons, is a maze of ruthless royal courts, treacherous lands, and dark secrets.

With each passing day, my heart is tossed in a tumultuous storm between two princes: the charming future king—my betrothed, and his mercurial brother, who ignites a fire that could raze the entire kingdom.

And I desperately need that inner fire because it's the key to surviving the deadly Imperia Trials. In this brutal contest, the last dragon standing will reign over our divided kingdom. Beyond love and duty, it's a battle for survival.

But how does one choose between heart and soul when both could mean certain death?

My Review: 4/5 Stars

In the second book of this series we follow the next girl who sacrificed herself to save their realm. Saphira starts her night out with her foster sisters, but soon finds herself swept away by a man who claims to be her protector and that she must return home. To Draconia. The island of dragon shifters. And turns out Saphira is a princess of one of the territories. One who supposedly has a betrothed and must marry him to save their race. No pressure there. Her memories are gone of this time, but her heart tells her more everyday. Like her connection to her protector who turns out to be the younger brother of the prince she is supposed to marry. The voice in her mind that made her think she was crazy at times is really her dragon who refuses to come out. And with so much turmoil between her people, she wants to find a way to help them and make things right. And to do that she’ll have to win the Imperia Trials. Winner becomes the ruler of the dragons. And only then can she bring peace they so desperately need. But she won’t be alone. Ryker, her protector and the one she can’t help but feel connected to, will be by her side. But with so many secrets of their past and present between them, can they survive what is coming for them? This world is only getting more interesting! I love dragons and dragon shifters, so this was definitely a fun one to read. Can’t wait to pick up book three!
