Dragon Knight's Sword, Order of the Dragon Knights


This series! Order of the Dragon Knights has been such a treasure for me, introducing brave, magnificent heroes and heroines, powerful, unscrupulous villains, and a wholly unique and thrilling realm.

Happy Medieval Monday! This month marks the tenth anniversary for the series. Ten years ago this month, Mary Morgan signed a contract with The Wild Rose Press for the first book of the series, Dragon Knight's Sword.

From Dragon Knight's Sword to Dragon Knight's Ring, which is the last book in the Order of the Dragon Knights series, onto the Legends of the Fenian Warriors and the other beautiful, related books, the reader is absorbed into a magical world of fae and druids, and dragons. Coexisting for centuries, the fae and human realms are racing towards catastrophe. Despite a curse, in the face of remorseless treachery and unspeakable anguish, love proves itself stronger than all.

For me, it's very hard -- nae, impossible -- to choose a favorite book from the series. But I can name a few favorite aspects of each.

Dragon Knight's Sword -- my introduction to the Dragon Knights, so not much can top that. But I do really love the way Duncan and Brigid become aware of each other.

Dragon Knight's Medallion -- It always strikes me (yes, I've read all the books more than once), that while all of the Dragon Knights are good men, Stephen might be the gentlest. Also, I love that Aileen is part fae.

Dragon Knight's Axe -- So maybe, just maybe this is my favorite book of the series.  For one thing, I'm madly in love with Fenian Warrior Rory MacGregor. For another, I appreciate that Alastair's powers come from the land. As a gardener and nature lover, I can relate. 

​Dragon Knight's Shield -- Angus and Deirdre -- wow! He is a tortured leader. She is a sword-wielding badass. What's not to love?

Dragon Knight's Ring -- Adam, Meggie, Jamie -- beautiful. This story sort of brings things full circle. Prepare to cry buckets.

The settings for all the books are magnificent, often the medieval Scottish Highlands -- Urqahart Castle, Loch Ness, the Great Glen, not to mention Trinity College in Dublin.

Have I mentioned there's a dragon? 

There's so much love throughout this series -- friendship, brotherhood, family, true and sizzling romance. In these books, love conquers pain, evil, even time.

The Order of the Dragon Knights series, along with Legends of the Fenian Warriors, join the ranks of classic fantasy. I love them more than all because despite the battles, pain, and torment the characters go through, love and hope prevail.

And isn't that just what our world needs?


Congratulations, Mary Morgan, on the anniversary of your brilliant series. Classic.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

Oh, heavens! I can't believe I missed this post, from two of my favorite Medieval Mavens! And what a wonderful one it is, Anastasia. It brought back memories of each book and reminded me I need to revisit them. Belated Happy Mother's Day, my dear friends.

    Romance!

    It's no secret that I prefer fat HEAs. Where better than in a beautiful romance?

    Mysteries -- Cozy Mysteries!


    Fun, diverse, and clever, this genre also offers those satisfying endings I prefer. Moreover, they often include a romantic interest.  I absolutely love these books and have "discovered" many wonderful authors, books, and series to enjoy.

    Since, like my favorite romances, cozy mysteries are feel good books with wonderful settings, characters, and satisfying endings, I will be featuring them now and then.

    Happy Reading!
