When a prophesy brings war to the Land of the Black Hills, Keeley Smythe must join forces with a clan of mountain warriors who are really centaurs in a thrilling new fantasy romance series from New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken.
The Old King Is Dead
With the demise of the Old King, there’s a prophesy that a queen will ascend to the throne of the Black Hills. Bad news for the king’s sons, who are prepared to defend their birthright against all comers. But for blacksmith Keeley Smythe, war is great for business. Until it looks like the chosen queen will be Beatrix, her younger sister. Now it’s all Keeley can do to protect her family from the enraged royals.
Luckily, Keeley doesn’t have to fight alone. Because thundering to her aid comes a clan of kilt-wearing mountain warriors called the Amichai. Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid, actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophesy ever envisioned …

(Grade: B) I really enjoyed this book. In fact, the closer I got to the end, the more anxiety I had over having to wait for the next book in the series. Fantasy is a tricky genre. It either works on all levels or falls flat. There really isn’t an in between. The Blacksmith Queen worked. A badass groups of strong, witty female leads who can hold their own in a fight. Queue the war monk sister and fighting cousin. Shapeshifting centaurs, I was shipping Caid and Keely from the beginning. A soft, empatheti

bookzeey (Grade: C) I love the first few Dragon Kin books. This was, diiferent. Not bad, but def not upto par with the best of this author. The characters did abrupt about turns,thier motivations unclear, at times they borrowed heavily from the dragons and thier mates (characterizations, tropes etc) without any of the charm or fun. And this all happened even though I was not at all comparing the 2 series. I was expecting something a bit more serious maybe and while I dont mind that the author stayed true to their
