Review by Jill Williamson

What if the legends are true?

Jason doubts the myths that people were once taken through a portal to another realm where dragons rule. But his brother gives him a message that proves something is wrong with the world he lives in. He snoops around, hoping to find out where his brother went and how he might get there too.

Meanwhile, Koren, a slave girl in the dragons’ realm, seeks the same kind of answers. Where did her people come from? Is what the dragons tell them true? Or were they really captives from another land? Koren tries to find out, and only her gift of being a Starlighter can save her from the truth she discovers.

This was an interesting premise. It got off to a slow start, but I enjoyed how Davis weaved Jason and Koren’s stories together. I liked the dragon world, but this story left me with more questions than answers. There were lots of threads left hanging that, no doubt, Davis will tie up in the sequels, though I would have liked a little more resolution to this story. Bryan Davis fans will be thrilled with this new series and be clamoring for the sequel.
