The first in an enthralling new mini-series of novellas from the #1 bestselling authors of the House of Night, Dragon’s Oath tells the story behind the House of Night’s formidable fencing instructor – the love that will transform him, and the promise that will haunt him

In early 19th century England, long before he’s a professor at the Tulsa House of Night, Bryan Lankford is a troublesome yet talented human teen who thinks he can get away with anything… until his father, a wealthy nobleman, has finally had enough, and banishes him to America. When Bryan is Marked on the docks and given the choice between the London House of Night and the dragon-prowed ship to America, he chooses the Dragon – and a brand new fate.

Becoming a Fledgling may be exciting, but it opens a door to a dangerous world.... In 1830’s St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, Dragon Lankford becomes a Sword Master, and soon realizes there are both frightening challenges and beautiful perks. Like Anastasia, the captivating young Professor of Spells and Rituals at the Tower Grove House of Night, who really should have nothing to do with a fledgling… But when a dark power threatens, Dragon is caught in its focus. Though his uncanny fighting skills make him a powerful fledgling, is he strong enough to ward off evil, while protecting Anastasia as well? Will his choices save her—or destroy them all?

(Recommended for readers age 13 and older)

REVIEW

This book was utterly amazing!  To dig a little deeper into Dragon, Fencing Instructor and Sword Master at the House Of Night gave meaning to his character.

The story went back in time to when Dragon was first Marked as a Fledgling.  It told his story with amazing insight to his past life before Zoey Redbird came into the picture.  We know know of why Dragon is the way he is today in the incredible House Of Night series.  His life and his love in this book turns on a dime and his choices within define him and his future.

I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to get my hands on Lenobia's Vow so that I may see what's to come next in her life from the beginning.
