Inhalt:
Tallis konnte Shaan aus den Fängen von Azoth befreien. Doch zu welchem Preis? Der uralte Pakt zwischen Menschen und Drachen liegt noch immer in Scherben und Azoth versammelt seine düstere Armee um sich herum um das Reich Sarantium zu unterwerfen.
Nachdem Shaan langsam wieder zu Kräften kommt, gilt es einzig und allein ihre Gefährten zu stärken und ihren verzweifelten Plan in die Tat umzusetzen um die Menschen und ihre Gefährten zu retten, auch wenn es für diese einem Verrat nahe kommt.

Vorab, man sollte den ersten Band gelesen haben, um der Handlung beziehungsweise der Geschichte flüssig folgen zu können, ohne groß gespoilert zu werden. Dieses Buch ist eine gelungene Fortsetzung der Reihe und hat mich auch wieder in den Bann gezogen. Es geht hier auch weiter mit den Drachen und ihren Drachenreiter. Die Story ist auch wieder spannend, obwohl die Spannung hin und wieder mal nachlässt. Aber ich empfand es als nicht so tragisch. Man sollte sich allerdings Zeit nehmen, das Buch zu

Das Buch Sarantium – Die Verräter ,ist der zweite Teil einer Trilogie. Bereits der erste Teil hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
Shaan wuchs als Diebin auf und bekam eine Chance von der Staße wegzukommen. Neben dem Kellnern arbeitete sie in den Drachenställen. Schnell fand sie heraus, dass sie die Drachen verstehen konnte. Auch Tallis ein Clansmann beherrschte die Sprache der Drachen, was seinen Landsleuten nicht gefiel. So wurde er aus der Wüste verbannt. Shaans und Tallis Leben waren auf eine besonder ...more

I have to admit didn't read the 1st book in the series, but I was tempt by all those elements - flying dragons (serpents), a city by the sea, a god returned to his world after thousands of years to seduce those serpents into fighting against the people who rely on them, in order to bring the populace under the god's dominion, Twins separated at birth a heroine whose troubled dreams are just the start of things to come...How you can resist this kind of stuff?
The story had been told from alterna ...more
Während mich der erste Band der Reihe zwar nicht umhauen konnte, aber dennoch seinen eigenen Sog entwickelt hat, hat mich der zweite Teil überrascht – und leider nicht im positiven Sinne. Ich hatte erwartet, dass es jetzt vielleicht besser und das Potenzial ausgeschöpft wird. Pustekuchen. Stattdessen zieht sich die Geschichte über etliche Seiten hinweg, ohne in Fahrt zu kommen. Ständig hat man das Gefühl, Szenen wären unnötig oder hätten gekürzt werden können. Schlimmer ist allerdings die Tatsac

Shaan and Tallis have escaped from Azoth - the fallen god - but he has enslaved the people of the Wild Lands and amassed an army of human-serpent warriors. The twins must convince the people of Salmut to unite against him, but the Council of Nine is determined to wage war on the Free Lands, ignoring the menace of Azoth.
Meanwhile, the Four Lost Gods have awoken - ready to reclaim the Birthstone currently in Azoth's possession. Not the saviours they were hoped to be, the Four begin to exert their ...more

This is the first book I have read by this author. The author has quite a talent in the fantasy world. I loved that I could connect to bother Shaan and Tallis from the book and could expe ...more

I picked up Betrayal because I remembered the promise of Awakening. I wanted to find out the answers to some of the questions from Awakening. Plus the lure of an adventure in a world of Serpents and old gods was too exciting to ignore.
Betrayal was an exciting read: magical powers are unfurled, secrets revealed, more interesting characters, etc. A fast-paced read with suspense built up right to the end. I also like my fantasy to be imbued with some romance and Betrayal really just hit that sweet ...more

Lara Morgan has an exceptional gift with words to draw you into the story that you can find it hard to put it down again. Book 2 in the Twins Of Saranthium Trilogy brings a drive for power, romance, betrayal, and a war to defend their honors and their lands from darkness. I love how Lard describes the battles they encounter, you almost feel every blow. I can't wait for book 3 to see how this war will end and what will happen to the lands and the clans. If you liked Lord Of The Rings, you will en
