Futuristic Dragonshifting Romance

Mede of the Draig knows three things for a fact: As the only female dragonshifter 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 Draig - 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 of the Draig knows four things for a fact: He is the future king of the dragonshifters. 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 catshifting neighbors, a threat whose eyes are focused firmly on Mede, time may be running out. It is up to him to convince her to be his dragon queen.

A Prequel Story

About Book 9:

Before four princes and four noblemen found their brides, before the death of the Var King Attor and the threat of the Tyoe miners, there was a time of peace on the planet of Quirlixen. It was not a strong peace, but it had lasted for quite some time between the catshifting Var kingdom and their northern neighbors the dragonshifting Draig. It lasted because both sides had very little to do with each other. It is here the dragons found their queen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Before 4 princes found their princesses the King found his Queen!.

Mede was a rare and beautiful female Draig, she was also a free spirit, independent, stubborn and rebellious! As a child she preferred to prove she was better than any man and willfully smashed her crystal stating she refused to be any man’s mate. Until she met Llyr! Because she broke her crystal at a young age and his crystal does not glow in her presence (he borrowed someone else’s to keep her from knowing the truth and running) Mede feels safe getting to know him. But she falls for him only to despair they can never be mates; of course that does not stop them from some steaming up a cave in the mines! But before the truth can come out they are called to duty when a fellow Dead Dragon disappears and what they find is heartbreaking and an act of war by the Var. Llyr worries for Mede and sends her home and holds back from seeing her before the Breeding Festival for fear of angering the Gods (due to the cave tryst) and losing her. To add to Llyr’s troubles he lost his real crystal and it has ended up in Attor’s hands, Attor intends to claim Mede as his and take over the entire planet (yeah the guy was nuts way back). Great book and interesting prequel to the Dragon Lords, looks like the apples didn’t fall far from the tree for the Princes, or trees as the case may be Mom was a bit of a wild one ;-) I definitely recommend it.

Llyr and Mede have a great story prequel. She is strong and wanting to prove she is equal to them and not delicate. He knows she is his mate, but does not want to let her know until she gets to know him. Situations happen to interrupt their romance and stones are misused. The characters are fantastic and the storyline was terrific, with plenty of action and romance. Well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prequel to the Dragon series
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021

This story was the prequel to the Qurilixen dragon series. The female lead was a bit of a spoiled brat. She crushed her own magic stone when she was young because she wanted to dictate her own destiny. Then she proceeded to push away the guy she was attracted to, that declared his love to her, because she didn’t think his stone was saying they were compatible. I had a hard time liking this leading lady and the disjointed logic behind her thoughts and behavior. She played hard to get for way too long.

Nonetheless, I gave this story four stars because it was well written and it put some context to events that happen in some of the other stories. I do like the fantasy of the Qurilixen universe Michelle M. Pillow has created. The Space Lords series is my favorite, followed by the Var series.

Llyr and Mede's story is the best so far! I thought their sons had great books but the parents beat them hands down. Mede is one heck of a dragon but don't call her Lady. Mede has spent her life proving herself the equal of every other dragon and really takes offense when they try to treat her as a defenseless female. Llyr has know that Mede is his from his first sighting of her and struggles with his desire to protect her and his allowing her to do as she desires. Llyr's understanding of Mede is so complete that at times I just wanted to shake her until she saw the truth. Great story with an amazing reveal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Even though Book 9, it is a good beginning to the Dragon Lords series.
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2015

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Pillow. I liked the characters, particularly Mede and Llyr (the leads). Although book 9 of the Dragon Lords series, it is a prequel to the series and sets up the foundation for the series. It is a light and fast read with the predictable HEA ending (which I always want because I like good endings). We are left with lots of potential for the series' books (that came before) with war on the horizon and a pretty psychotic king and a disgusting noble lord for the dragon lords to handle later. If you have enjoyed the previous books in the series, I am sure you will enjoy this one.

Reviewed in France on February 5, 2017

Ce roman pourrait être lu avant le 1er Dragon lords car il s'agit de l'histoire des parents des princes des Dragon lords book 1 à 4 . Il explique aussi l'origine de l'antagonisme entre les Dragons et les Var et on fait mieux connaissance du futur roi des Var père des princes dans la série suivante. A propos de l'histoire proprement dite, elle est prenante surtout devant le caractère de cette jeune femme qui se trouve être la seule dragon qui veut être considérée comme les autres dragons et qui va enfin mûrir, c'est enlevé et intéressant, car tout les petits détails sont intéressants,ils nous permettent de comprendre mieux certaines personnes, certaines choses. Ce qui m'a gêner c'est l'alcool. Tout le monde se soûl presque ! Que les Var, de par l'action de leur roi désespéré le fasse mais aussi les membres du club fermés des guerriers dragons qui doivent surveiller les frontières ou protéger ? ....Bref au bout d'un moment ça m'a gêner. Bon sinon ce monde inventé par l'auteur est sympa, et il y fait bon vivre même si il y a un serpent dans le pays voisin, les scènes de sexe sont belles et on a envie de connaître la suite, les princes Var

SO GOOD!!!! I was seriously dubous of this book I pre-ordered it anyway. I loved the original series with a passion and fell in love with the princes, however felt that a prequel was a step too far and was not looking forward to it. When the book arrived on my kindle, i am ashamed to say that it sat there for a few days as i put it off as i was not really looking foward to reading it as coudn't really see that it was going to be that great.

HOWEVER, as with all Michelles books it was brilliant, the writing was good, the humour was excellent and the female lead was strong and lead the male a merry dance, what more can we want, lol!!

An excellent additon to the series, and will definitely recommend to family, friends and anyone ready this review. Would also recommend the entire series, a seriously good read.

I have to admit that I didn't enjoy this series about the Draig as much as I enjoyed the Var series, I listened to the Var beforehand not knowing I'm supposed to listen to this series before. Anyway, out of the whole series this book is the best, it's up there with the books about the Var, it also explains so much about King Attor and its not only a prequel to this series it can also be seen as a prequel to the Var series. A highly enjoyable book about two great characters!

Even though I had already read the others and this book came first chronologically it was great to read how it all started. Michelle as a way of making me feel like I am in that world. And after each book I am anxiously waiting for the next. This series especially is genius. If you haven't read the others, you really need to. The way she makes the 4 books in the series (5 in the var) run parallel to eachother is amazing. A must read!
