Ratings and reviews

4.5 stars-- NIMUE’S GIFT by Deborah Cooke is a short story that falls between Wyvern’s Angel and Wyvern’s Wizard in the author’s paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy series focusing on the twelve royal dragon princesses of Incendium. NIMUE’S GIFT can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order. NIMUE’S GIFT is the first instalment in the Dragons of Incendium featuring a slight cross-over with the author’s Dragonfire series but I am not sure in which series the story line will continue. SOME BACKGROUND: The twelve female dragon princesses of Incendium search for their ‘HeartKeeper’-their mate and the carrier of the seed-but the princes of Regalia are not necessarily the male that calls to the princesses’ heart. As each female dragon shifter finds her mate, another sister waits in the wings for the ‘Carrier of the Seed’ and male that calls to her heart. Told from several third person perspectives NIMUE’S GIFT follows a number of paths as a visitor imparts a gift to several members of the ruling family. The birth of three royal babies is celebrated with great pomp and fanfare but one being of immense power and magic has claimed the original dragonfire bestowing an invaluable legacy and offering upon the youngest members of the royal family. NIMUE’S GIFT is a short story that opens up a realm of possibilities for both the Dragonfire series and the Dragons of Incendium with a potential cross-over between characters and back stories. A revealing and intriguing instalment NIMUE’S GIFT is a well-written narrative wherein the story is told through observation as the reader is up close and personal with the author as she begins to weave endless possibilities for the dragons we love.
