Romances shifter dragão

7

Lembro-me de ler um livro, mas na época não consegui encontrar o próximo da série e nunca mais voltei a ele. O livro tem pelo menos 15 anos e há um mínimo de livros 3 na série. Tinha duas parcelas separadas, uma sobre shifters de dragões. Esses shifters nasceram para os seres humanos e então aprenderam que poderiam mudar para dragões mais tarde na vida. Eles viviam separados da sociedade principal e eram emparelhados (todo dragão nascido tinha um companheiro). A outra trama era sobre a família real, especificamente a principal concubina do rei que estava traindo o rei com seu irmão bastardo. Sinto que eles podem ter sido chamados de linhagem do rei pheonix, mas não tenho certeza. Havia uma profecia referente ao filho dela. Qualquer ajuda seria muito apreciada!

Isto é O Último Senhor do Dragão de Joanne Bertin. Publicado na 1998 com a sequência no 1999, a trilogia não foi concluída até o 2012. Como você, porém, acho que foi claramente indicado como um livro da 3.

A capa do Último Senhor do Dragão

Dragonlord Linden Rathan, last-born of a race of immortal weredragons, has spent six hundred years alone, searching for his soultwin while his fellow Dragonlords watch over humanity's Five Kingdoms.

When the Queen of Cassori dies mysteriously, Linden and the other Dragonlords are called upon to prevent civil war as two human claimants vie for the regency.

As the battle for Cassori rule escalates, Linden becomes the target of the Fellowship, a secret society of true-humans who could actually destroy his immortal life.

Then he meets a beautiful young ship captain named Maurynna who may be the only one who can help Linden bring Cassori back from the brink of chaos.

Não me lembro de uma linhagem real chamada Phoenixes, mas tudo é bastante vago. No entanto, o segundo livro é titulado Dragão e Fênix.

Esta revisão de Goodreads possui detalhes adicionais em seu resumo (editado para o conteúdo):

The Last Dragonlord follows a lot of characters and is told from multiple point of views, but we can say that the focus is on Linden Rathan. Linden is a Dragonlord, he can shift from human to dragon form (and vice versa of course). In fact, Linden is the last Dragonlord - after his Change no more potential Dragonlords were born. It's a bummer for multiple reasons:

  1. All other Dragonlords call him the "little one" - endearment for youngest in their group. Since Linden is the tallest and biggest among then and more than 600 years old, this is really annoying.

  2. Linden did not meet his soultwin yet - the female Dragonlord that is his mate, the other half of his soul, well his soultwin. She still needs to be born/changed and after so many years waiting, Linden has lost almost all hope that he will ever find true love.

The plot of the novel revolves around court intrigues in Kindgom of Cassori where a regent needs to be chosen to rule until young prince grows up. Since Dragonlords are "ancient Givers of Law" Linden and two of his friends come to judge who has the most rights to assume this role. Although almost everyone in this novel is plotting something, there is little tension and The Last Dragonlord, although not exactly a boring read, is also not a page-turner. I think the problem is that Joanne Bertin covered all view-points so we always know what all sides are plotting.

The romance in the book is believe it or not a love triangle. We will have Sherrine, beautiful noble lady, and Maurynna, trade-ship captain, fighting for Linden's attention. But don't expect much tension here, because Linden tell us immediately who he is going to pick, so the whole love-triangle business is more in the head of the rejected woman than it's really happening.
