See all formats and editions

Stricken. Dying. Laid low by the accursed Dragon Haters

Hualiama must confront the greatest powers of the age as Dramagon’s disciples encircle the ultimate prize–her. A girl born of fire, raised by Dragons and imbued with the terrible, corrupting power of ruzal.

>>>An enemy that will destroy anything in her path

Now, portents fill the sky. Legendary armies fly to war. The prophesied comet crashes into the Island-World, bearing the spirit of a malevolent Ancient Dragoness, Numistar Winterborn. She will obliterate any that seek to thwart her ambitions–all the armies of Men and Dragons, the monstrous war-machine of Shinzen, Warlord of the Giants, and most especially, Hualiama and Grandion, the Tourmaline Dragon.

>>Epic powers collide in the worlds above and below the clouds. Can Hualiama forge a path, a new way, as the first Shapeshifter Dragoness? Can her forbidden love for Grandion flower amidst the smoke and ruin of war?

Dragonsoul

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2016

Behold, the dazzling strings of gold,
Vivid enchantment from times of old,
Azure blue, the sky of infinity,
Soft cotton white eternity.

Wonders from long forgotten lore,
Hopes that was cut from the living ore,
Of existing life and burning fire,
We burn and burn and burn.

Still, we wake to every hour of strife,
The bitterest pain of every lost life,
And thus the grieving taste,
Paints oblivion to a kiss so chaste.

Yet hope came last to stay,
Inspiration, for all who wish to walk the way.
Oh, we reign from the eternal sky,
Free souls to soar up high.

In dreams we see the other side,
And hopes are borne across the great divide,
Upon silent wings through the night,
We greet the birth of dawn's faint light.

(2017) Okay, So I don't know what happened here, but when I went through all my older reviews I found this one and had a moment of: What the...?! Apparently, the book made me into a very bad but hopeful poet...and I would just like to add (for those of you who had the same reaction as me just now) that it is a wonderful book, and you should totally give it a try. Secchia is very talented and if you like Dragons and beautiful tales, then this one is for you! Probably best to start from the beginning though, if you have not yet!

Exceptional fantasy adventure with one of my favorite characters.

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a high energy story with plot twists, strong characters, and powerful imagery. Hualiama is one of my favorite characters. She strives to escape the clutches of three powerful entities determined to capture and use her. At the same time, she grapples with the human and dragon aspects of her shapeshifter whole. How can they work together and survive?

As always, the descriptions are perfect. “Silence pooled about Lia, as thick as congealed blood.” Later, a young warrior clings precariously to a flying dragon’s tail “with the air of a thousand-year-old lichen attached to her favourite boulder.” This sets the mood with an intense image that pulls you right into the story. “Dragonsoul” is a deep, satisfying addition to a marvelous series.

Good book! Worth the read.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

I don't generally spend money on books, but #1 was so good I paid for #2. Then #2 was so good I paid for #3. The story is starting to drag a bit, even though out is packed full of interesting characters. There is so much going on it seems like a soap opera, as soon as one problem is solved, another starts. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the characters never get to really rest, or have some fun.
The only annoying parts of the book are that the characters jump to anger over tiny things ( Lia punches a hole in the wall because someone said her boobs are big, then takes off in a tantrum?), and another part where Grandion tries to attack a soldier for a snide comment in a volatile situation that requires diplomacy ( like he has no self control?) Then there is the whole "proverbial" thing, people don't say "they let the proverbial cat out of the bag," they just say "they let the cat out of the bag." Those little annoyances don't effect the epic story happening here, so I recommend these books to anyone who loves a good story, and loves dragons.

Diving back into this world after being away for so long was wonderful! How I missed the story of Hualiama and Grandion. As a bit of a romantic person, that was my most enjoyable aspect of the novel. Watching these two figure out how to be together and not hurt each other.

In this latest installment of their story, we follow Hualiama as she figures out how to be two beings, but one soul. The struggles of war and building relationships is frequented throughout the book. You will be astonished as Lia is the forerunner of the shapeshifter race and all the little things she has to figure out on her own.

As much as I had hoped for resolution to the multiple story arcs, it's best not to stop at a trilogy. I anticipate the fourth book to be just as sweet and gut wrenching as the other three. I've been reading Marc's books for about a year now starting with Aranya and Dragon Friend, and now I can't get enough of this world!

Wonderful story about a human girls and a dragon

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017

Wonderful story about a human girls and a dragon. Hualiama had grown up in a society that had no trust for dragons but had always wanted to be one. Grandion had grown up in a society that viewed humans as "less than". It would take much to bring them together but so much more to tear them apart. Amazing writing by Marc Secchia. Can't wait to read #4!

This series is amazing, and this particular book does not disappoint. Life-harrowing Adventure, love, species mutation, not one but Three sets of parents to contend with (including an immortal pair), an impossible love, betrayal and redemption... it's all inside these pages. Start at the beginning with Dragonfriend Book 1. You will be glad you did! Appropriate reading for all ages. Bonus: includes vocabulary stretching words.

Drags on until the last 25%

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017

Not as great as the first two. The book constantly flips back and forth between Grandion and Lia, which detracts from key moments. I cannot think of a scene where it was important to know Grandion's side that couldn't be explained later from Lisa's point of view. If anything it ruins the strife between the two because we know for sure his thoughts on whatever matter that befalls them. I found myself skipping paragraphs of fighting because it droned on and on.
Spoiler...........
The reincarnation of Flicker greatly frustrates me as fandom pandering as does the influx of information about the lower world and its dragons. It was such informational overload it was hard to discern what type of dragon was what.

The book only picks up and follows the previous two books in quality towards the end when the final battle begins against Shinzen.

Having read books 1 and 2, i purchased book 3. And was somewhat disappointed. It was extremely "wordy" reminding me of a college text that I had to read rather than want to read.I also find it puzzling that a new character with a new set of circumstances and emotions show up after 70% of the book has been read. I guess there is a book 4 in the works? If you don't mind skimming some of the long-winded parts it is a good book.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have all of Marc Secchias books above & below the Cloudlands. Dragonsoul is packed with action, humour, love, betrayal, loyalty & did I mention Dragons - lots of Dragons. You get to travel in many unusual ways & experience the emotions between the varied cast of characters while going in a journey that boggles your imagination - thanks again Marc
