About this audiobook

Mede is a strong-willed dragon shifter who refuses to marry. Prince Llyr wants her for himself — but with enemies gathering and time running out, can he persuade her to become his queen?

Mede knows three things for a fact: 

As the only female dragon-shifter of her people, she is special.

She can kick the backside of any man.

And she absolutely doesn’t want to marry.

Mede has spent a lifetime trying to prove she’s as strong as any male warrior. Unfortunately, being the special, rare creature she is, she’s been claimed as the future bride to nearly three dozen dragons—each one confident that when they come for her hand in marriage, fate will choose them. When the men aren’t bragging about how they’re going to marry her, they’re acting like she’s a delicate rare flower in need of their protection.

But Mede is far from a shrinking solarflower.

Prince Llyr knows four things for a fact: 

He is the future king of the dragon shifters.

He must act honorably in all ways.

He absolutely, positively is meant to marry Lady Mede.

​And she is dead set against marriage.

Llyr’s fate rests in the hands of a woman determined not to have any man. With a new threat emerging amongst their cat-shifting neighbors, a threat whose eyes are focused firmly on Mede, time may be running out. It is up to the prince to convince her to be his dragon queen.

Book Nine of the Dragon Lords series:This is the original Dragon Lords series by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow. A Prequel Story.

"The Dragon's Queen is one Kick-Butt romantic story of the woman everyone considers a rare and precious gem and the one man who sees beyond the 'fairy tale' to the hardcore goddess she really is... I enjoyed this book from start to finish, watching both Llyr and Mede change and move towards each other as who they are meant to be." Kris, Insightful Mind Reviews (2014)

Ratings and reviews

This was a great way to end the Dragon Lords for the men of Draig but at the same time it was a beginning. I’ve loved Queen Mede through the other books. How Queen Mede was when she interacted and instructed her new daughters in the softer ways of encouraging their men to do what the women wanted was so vastly different than the girl in this book. Mede in this book was only just getting her wings, she was stretching the limits to show that while she was special she was the same as the men and should be treated no differently. She fought tooth and nail to be her own person and to be recognized as a warrior. Prince Llyr is wise that he knows in order to win Mede he has to win her heart and let her take the lead on their love. The gods and the fates aren’t going to help him win Mede. It was great to see how Prince Llyr worked with Mede and helped her be independent. He was subtle but not above his own softer ways of pushing her in his direction. What a match they will make and a great royal couple. Prince Attor of the Var is a catshifter that catches sight of Mede and is focused on her. While we don’t know why it’s the cats versus the dragons, we do get to see why Attor hates the Draig royals and wants to end them by the time he is king. It was stunning to see the depths of the Var royals and how they changed as the book went along. I really enjoyed seeing this look at how it all began even after it was all over. While this is the 9th book, it can be listened to as a stand-alone before the others.

love this one, wish it had come at the beginning however.
