Embracing the Dragon

Flames of Kalleen, Book 1

By: K.L. Bone

Narrated by: Kylie Stewart

Can a human heart withstand the flames of a dragon’s soul?

For centuries, the dragons of Kalleen have ruled the skies. Blessed by the goddess of fire, those born of her power are destined to exist within two worlds while fully belonging to neither.

As the youngest daughter of the dragon queen, Amelia has always been torn between her humanity and winged form. In meeting Stephen, she found a blossoming love that gave her hope of finding balance. But it is a dream destroyed when her sister, and future queen, sets her sights upon the same man.

Forced from her lover’s side, Amelia embraces a self-imposed exile, taking refuge in the northern mountains. In this new life of solitude, she banishes painful memories by retreating to her dragon form, sheltering the wounded girl within. Yet it is an isolation that cannot last, as the new dragon queen’s cruelty bears down upon the kingdom, allowing an ancient enemy to rise.

Drawn from her banishment by the pleas of friends, Amelia must choose. Will she embrace the destructive beast within? Or draw upon the frail humanity that lingers dimly in her soul, in a desperate attempt to help her people and mend a broken heart?

Very Good

Great narration.... Interesting story... Many years pass in this story giving you a full view of things that take place. #AudioBookObsessions

Have you ever wanted to be a dragon?

I loved this book so much. Great characters and plot. Everything you want from a fantasy romance novel. K.L. Bone never disappoints with her page turning novels. In this one a young princess is forced to go out into the unknown and find herself. Find her strength and become the dragon in order to right some terrible wrongs. K.L. Bone's amazing talent for details make you feel like you are the dragon flying high in the sky and the incredible strength it takes to control it. Cheers Kristen you have done it again. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Different points of view

I love that!
She was betrayed by her own sister and now she has to find a way to a safe life.

The narration is good but a bit monotone. But she has a soothing voice.

Fantastic Dragon Shifter Story!

This was my first K.L. Bone's book, and won't be the last. This is the first book in the Flames of Kalleen Series. Embracing the Dragon is a great dragon shifter story. The world building is fantastic. The storyline is original, fast-paced, twisted, and captivating. I love Amelia. She is a strong and beautiful character. The other characters are also great. The scenery is wonderful. Now, I can't wait for the next book in the Series, Releasing the Dragon. Kylie Stewart has a beautiful soft voice, and she did an amazing job reading this book. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. #AudiobookObsession

Embracing the Dragon

Embracing the Dragon is the first installment from The Flames of Kalleen series. It is, also, the first book I have read by KL Bone. I enjoyed this story. The writing style was different and unique, which was refreshing. I liked reading something that is new and different and something outside of my comfort zone. Amelia is an admirable character full of strength and courage. I loved hearing the Kylie Stewart’s narration of the book and having her performing Amelia's tale.
I give Embracing the Dragon four and a half stars. I look forward to the next installment in The Flames of Kalleen series.
I received the audio version of this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
