Review

"The Dragon's Price" is the first in a trilogy entitled: The Transference Series. It's filled with dragons, adventure, romance, and mystery. The Kingdom of Faodara and the Kingdon of the Antharians have been fighting for many years. In the past, a dragon was used to keep the peace, but when he became out of control, he was exiled with a spell to a cave deep in the mountains. Since then, a Faodarian Princess, (in this case, Sorrowlynn,) is required to either marry an Antharian Prince, remain in her own kingdom, or surrender herself to the deadly Dragon. Faodara chooses to surrender to the dragon as she does not wish to remain at home or marrry an enemy barbarian prince. However, as she goes into the cave to battle the mighty beast, Golmarr,the kindest of the Anthurian Princes, follows her into the cave to help her survive the dragon. There ensues the battle against the dragon, a budding romance between Faodara and Golmarr, and discovery of the dragon's treasure which Faodara inherits upon slaying the mighty beast.

This book would appeal to both boys and girls, with it's many detailed and descriptive battle scenes and romance. I would give this book an excellent rating. Bethany Wiggins is also the author of "Stung," "Cured," and "Shifting."

Overall Book Score: excellent
