His insistence on ending her life throughout a majority of the novel (despite getting to know Grace and realizing she would never lead people to Atlantis to kill everyone) would be my biggest complaint.
I was more than three quarters of the way through the novel when Darius had an epiphany about his relationship with her and decided not to kill her. The chemistry and attraction between Grace and Darius was palpable and undeniable- so much so that I found myself irritated whenever Darius went on about how he still had a duty to kill her. Luckily, I got to experience more of the mythical realm through Grace’s brother. I was slightly disappointed when Grace had to flee Atlantis (though I understand her fear for her life since Darius was intent on killing her- though with no great deal of enthusiasm for the task). I greatly enjoyed getting to know the other dragon warriors under Darius’s command. Grace’s time in Atlantis, while short lived in the beginning of the book, was fraught with wonder and entertainment. However, his emotions become fractured, and his impulses less controlled, when he comes face-to-face with Grace.ĭarius and Grace build a rocky and unstable alliance in their quest to find Grace’s brother, while contending with their undeniable attraction to one another. This difficult task led to Darius suppressing his feelings and forced him to maintain a cool indifference in his demeanor and life. Darius has spent the past couple hundred years keeping his promise to protect Atlantis- even taking the lives of the possibly innocent people who unwittingly stumbled upon the world. Unfortunately, Grace stumbles upon a cave leading her to the mythical world of Atlantis- and straight into the presence of Darius en Kragin, a dragon king sworn to protect the mythical realm. The story follows Grace Carlyle, a young woman who braves the wilds of South America in search of her missing brother.
Heart of the Dragon is part of the Atlantis series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Gena Showalter.
