Immortal dragons can’t mate with humans… or can they?
500 years ago, Yora went into magical stasis to escape her violent life as the Sage of Wrath. Now she’s awoken because a hunted dragon shifter needs help, but the last thing she wants is to go back to war.
She’d much rather stay in her cottage with the dragon, Zan, and eat every kind of ice cream she can imagine. Even if she knows better than to give in to the rush she feels around him… Dragons can’t mate with humans, and soon Zan will have to leave again.
But the dragon’s flight has brought danger to Yora’s doorstep. Dark powers are desperate to claim her destructive powers for themselves, and they’ll stop at nothing to bring her under their control.
Yora knows how to use her wrath to destroy. But if she can harness that same magic to build instead, maybe she can protect her found family in Crystal Hollow—and find a way to stay with Zan for all of their days, too.
Helen’s Thoughts: 5/5
The world of Sage’s Sanctuary is full of quirky characters, awkward moments, and scenario’s that make you laugh.
This tale is set 500 years after The Quiet Side and follows the Sage of Wrath, Yora, and the dragon, Zan. Such a sweet romance between two very stubborn characters. Thank goodnes for the ice cream to distract them.
I enjoyed Yora’s thought process to figure out how to use such a destructive power (Wrath) for good, to create a new life and make friends, without revealing who she was, and how hard she had to work to get and keep her dragon.
Zan (the ancient dragon who has waited 500 years for her) is adorable, and my favourite character. He was so considerate and thoughtful, sacrificing himself, when really there was no need and just being nice! A story about two equally powerful characters who deserve each other!
I was smiling as I read a lot of this book. It really is a feel good read. I received an early copy as I backed the Kickstarter, having enjoyed the prequel, The Quiet Side.
