About this listen

Having abandoned his friends and family and taken to the skies, Ewan hides himself in the Wilderlands, away from humans. However, an unexpected attempt on his life and a warning from another dragon lead him to suspect that not all is right in Regone.

Ewan returns to his homeland to attend his brother's wedding and discover the source of the bounty on his head. Once there, the dragon prince finds that Ryan of Westshire has been using his absence to court the Lady Shannon.

With unknown forces working to undermine his brother's throne and his own heart torn between his love for Shannon and the desire to see her happy, Ewan must choose once and for all. Is he a dragon or a man?

Though Shannon and Ewan aren't on great terms for most of this book, it was really interesting to hear the dynamic between him, Ryan, and Shannon. The plot was really interesting too, and left me wondering what would happen next for a while. I don't think this book was as heavy on the foreshadowing as the first two, but man is it irritating how many issues could've been avoided if everyone communicated honestly haha. But that's the same as in life, and there were clear reasons why some of them didn't spill everything sooner. I think this book really helped flesh out all the characters even more, and even though Ewan is infuriatingly stubborn for much of this, I can really sympathize with him and understand why. I really like Ryan as a character, and honestly think he would've been amazing for Shannon if it wasn't for her relationship with Ewan. Will was a great addition too. The ending was great, and I was smiling like an idiot at the wall for the last bit.

The narration, as always, is amazing and spot on with emotions and accents.

I received a free review copy of this book.

Interesting change of pace
