Dragonbane (Dark-Hunter Series #19)

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Overview

Out of all the mysterious boarders who call Sanctuary home, no one is more antisocial or withdrawn than Maxis Drago. But then, it's hard to blend in with the modern world when you have a fifty foot wingspan.

Centuries ago, he was cursed by an enemy who swore to see him fall. An enemy who took everything from him and left him forever secluded.

But Fate is a bitch, with a wicked sense of humor. And when she throws old enemies together and threatens the wife he thought had died centuries ago, he comes back with a vengeance. Modern day New Orleans has become a battleground for the oldest of evils. And two dragons will hold the line, or go down in flames.

Another in the blockbuster-best-selling "Dark-Hunter" series, which practically owns the top spot on the New York Times best sellers list? You bet. Our protagonist is Maxis Drago, the most reclusive of the Sanctuary's boarders, brooding quietly with his 50-foot wingspan folded because he was cursed centuries ago and has lost his wife. But now his enemies are back, his wife turns out to be quite alive, and with a very old evil choosing New Orleans as the place to take a stand, the two dragons are skimming the levees in irreproachable defense. With a one-day laydown on August 4.

Library Journal

Narrator Holter Graham’s inimitable skills shine in this latest Dark-Hunter novel. As the cast in this enormous paranormal world continues to grow, he crafts recognizable, empathetic voices and switches between them effortlessly. His depictions of relationships are clear and nuanced, especially his portrayal of the bond between Maxis Drago—a dragon-shifter who has survived betrayal by the one woman he loved—and Seraphina—a woman who is trapped between love and loyalty to her kind. Graham revels in their complicated, contentious journey to rescue their children, allowing listeners to hear their pain, desire and, finally, mutual redemption. He keeps the pace quick and the story easy to follow, ensuring that the listener’s attention will remain high throughout. B.E.K. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
