Product Description

Product Description

Kira has led a sheltered life, brought up by her widowed father, whom she adores. When he is arrested and imprisoned for a murder he allegedly committed 18 years before, she is devastated. So when she overhears an ex-student of her father's planning to visit the prison, Kira decides to go, too. However, the student - Arun - is not who she thinks he is, and she soon learns that her father has not always been the man of integrity she has known for fifteen years.

Caught in a rebellion against the Lord High Councillor who would return the country to Wizard Rule, Kira finds that there is one more lesson she has to learn - about herself. Success depends on her, but is she willing to make the sacrifice it will require?

A book for Young Adults, but suitable for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark of the Dragon Queen 23 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Feisty teenager, Kira, is the main human protagonist in this fast-paced, action-filled book which is populated by imperfect, and therefore realistic, characters. Characters that Stewart's writing effortlessly brings you to care about - so much so, that you finish the book wondering, and worrying, about what happens next.

The book would work equally well as a YA or crossover novel. There is enough action and there are enough male characters, to appeal to both male and female readers. Similarly, the beautiful cover, designed by the author, will attract readers of both sexes.

Gripping, and at times very poignant, this book demonstrates a further dimension to Stewart's story-telling abilities already so ably displayed in "Treespeaker" and "The Dragon Box".

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable 8 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This appealed to me because I really enjoy fantasy books. Despite common themes of wizards, dragons, magic etc, there were elements in this story that I did not foresee happening and I was pleasantly surprised.

It's also a refreshing change from the longer fantasy epics that I tend to normally read, but just as engrossing.

I had the good fortune to get this when it was free, but it has me sold now and I've already spent my hard earned cash on Treespeaker. For me, this is what makes trawling though the plethora of freebies out there so worthwhile - finding one that you loved reading and knowing spending money on any other works by the same author will be money well spent. I can't wait for her next one!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good dragon story. 29 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have to confess to being somewhat over-dragoned lately. There seems to be a preponderance of vampire, zombie and dragon books around at the moment. I remember when Anne McCaffrey bought Pern to our attention, and thinking how original it was. I am pleased to say that Mark of the Dragon Queen has rekindled my interest in the subject.

The story is told from the viewpoint of a teenage girl whose father has a number of secrets that are suddenly revealed when an apparently random event takes place to reveal the father's guilty secret. From there, things move apace, as the daughter, Kira, becomes severely affected from that past. She is forced to confront the consequences of these secrets, as she tries to save her father from peril.

The pace of the book keeps you turning the pages as more and more is revealed. The characters are well developed through the adventure right up to the final confrontation. I believe that the book is aimed at the young adult readers amongst us, but speaking as one who is a few years beyond that, I found it most entertaining.

The book has obviously been well edited as the errors are very few and far between, which is a welcome change from some indie and mainstream books I have read of late.

If you want a good book to read, with good characterisation and plot, then this one should definitely be in your "to be read" pile.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed every minute 5 Mar 2012
By Ignite TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
This book, written for Young Adults, had this Old Adult completely in thrall. I enjoy fantasy fiction and this, with its magicians, dragons, crystals, had the lot. It was imaginative, the story moved along at a good pace and I was drawn in from the beginning. There was some lovely use of language in here too and the characters were exceptionally well drawn. I found them believable. Good people can be saccharine if not allowed to have some flaws but these were great characters, warts and all.

I love a book whose author's passion for the story pulls me in. I can't abide blandness. This tale explored many deep emotions, anger, fear, suspicion, jealousy, love, hope, despair and loyalty. It pulled no punches in regard to its younger readers. I enjoyed every minute of this book and was sorry when it ended.

This is a good quick read for people looking for something not overly complex and not full on being left of a cliff waiting for the good bit again. Its a good little story and great for younger readers :) This book is full of future possibilities and i would definitely read a 2nd book and others from the author as well

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable 29 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I do enjoy a good fantasy even if I ought to have outgrown young adult books, and Mark of the Dragon Queen was very enjoyable. What I liked about it was its unpredictability. There were some lovely twists. I also liked the way the baddy wasn't mwahahaha-evil, more single-minded, arrogant and full of ruthless self-belief. That made him a much more believable baddy, one which is all too common in today's world. Lovely.
