Two thousand years ago, the prophecy of fire and light foretold the coming of the queen empress who would lead the empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions and raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle.
Centuries later, Alexandra, a 22-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished lord steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive crown prince of the empire, and together, they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a prophecy set in motion so many years ago.
Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the annals of the empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the crown prince and lord steward. Either choice could tear her world apart, as she attempts to keep the empire’s torrid history from repeating itself.
In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice – or her fate – that determines how she survives the empire’s rising conflicts.

Two Thousand years is Ah-maze-ing! I sure as heck can’t get enough!
Alex and Treyan are probably my two favorite characters that I have read yet this year! They are awesome! This is such an amazing adventure. With these two characters, there is never a dull moment. Along with our villain, they truly bring this story to life!
Dalto really knows how to create a masterpiece that sweeps you into another world. The way the writing captivates is unreal. The characters are so well developed. Along with the help of our narrator, Amanda Abeillan, the emotions are so vivid throughout the audiobook.
Overall this production is great. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better book to listen to. Each scene played out like a movie behind my eyes. I can’t get enough. I wish the next installment was already out! Even the scenery has been laid out so perfectly in this book. This book is definitely a must read/listen.

Oh my gosh!!! All I could think is it can’t be over… then I remembered book 2 is already out!! Yay! If you can’t tell I love this book.
Seriously C.L. Schneider is amazing!!! Flash Point grabbed my attention from the very first scene. I am super happy I read this book. The writing is exquisite. I felt as if I was in this other world and I honestly can’t wait to journey back. Schneider has given each character so much personality and this story just comes to live with every scene.
Cassandra King is great at narrating each character. I can sense the behaviors of each as much as I can hear them. I feel as if I’m right there throughout the entire story. The whole production flows seamlessly. I’m not sure if I’ve heard this narrator before, but I do know I enjoyed listening to her throughout this adventure.
All and all this is an amazing story. I can’t go through all of the characters because it would take too long and I’d probably give too much information, but you will absolutely love Dahlia and her kick-ass crew. They are all amazing. In a world of the otherworldly there is no way to not fall in headfirst. Definitely a must read in my book. Now onto book 2. I’m way too excited!!!

Can a human heart withstand the flames of a dragon’s soul?
For centuries, the dragons of Kalleen have ruled the skies. Blessed by the goddess of fire, those born of her power are destined to exist within two worlds while fully belonging to neither.
As the youngest daughter of the dragon queen, Amelia has always been torn between her humanity and winged form. In meeting Stephen, she found a blossoming love that gave her hope of finding balance. But it is a dream destroyed when her sister, and future queen, sets her sights upon the same man.
Forced from her lover’s side, Amelia embraces a self-imposed exile, taking refuge in the northern mountains. In this new life of solitude, she banishes painful memories by retreating to her dragon form, sheltering the wounded girl within. Yet it is an isolation that cannot last, as the new dragon queen’s cruelty bears down upon the kingdom, allowing an ancient enemy to rise.
Drawn from her banishment by the pleas of friends, Amelia must choose. Will she embrace the destructive beast within? Or draw upon the frail humanity that lingers dimly in her soul, in a desperate attempt to help her people and mend a broken heart?

She was influenced by her Scottish heritage to become an independent British history buff and has a small library dedicated to Tudor history and is a lover of Arthurian legends.

A member of RWA, she is also a member of the APA and works as an audio book narrator when she isn’t writing. Kylie lives in Dallas, TX with her husband and fellow voice actor Eric Rolon, and their three cats Asuka, Ollie, and Haru.
Wow, just wow! A lot of stories I fall in love with the whole story, but it takes about 3-5 days to get through them. With Embracing the Dragon, I am pretty sure I just zoomed right through. Two days was all it took for this captivating adventure to take me over.
This author, K.L. Bone, really knows how to take you on an otherworldly adventure. Seriously I was there with the dragons and felt every emotion. Even the dull hurt Amelia must have experienced. This story truly encompasses every emotion it possibly could, and you experience the whirlwind with the characters.
The writing overall was perfect. The storyline will grasp your attention from beginning to end and believe me that was some ending. Like I could definitely go for more right now, but I will save that for another day. I may have stopped reading another book to listen to this amazing story. I really must finish the other one. I couldn’t help myself though. It’s like this story was calling to me. I’m so glad it did. Next book in the series is already on my wish list to be purchased soon.
As far as the production is concerned it was flawless. Seriously this was as smooth of a production as one could get. Let me just say Kylie Stewart did an amazing job narrated this story as well. Without her voice and emotion behind it, I don’t know if I would have fallen as in love with the story as I did. Kylie and K.L. make an amazing team.
Overall this is by far one of my favorite books. I feel a bittersweet emotion knowing I will someday reach the end of this series. Yes, I am already feeling this emotion ahead of the game. I can’t wait to dive into the next installment, but to be honest I also want to wait to read it. I just don’t want this adventure to come to an end. Thank you, K.L. Bone for such an amazing book and experience! I loved every minute listening to Kylie deliver such an amazing performance of an even more amazing book!
