Description:
Book 5 in New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s new Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador™ World continues an epic fantasy adventure with shocking surprises and twists.
Faced with losing the only grimoire volume Daegan has or turning his back on Casidhe, he makes a surprising choice. Time is literally running out of an hourglass for Casidhe to prove her value to Queen Maeve or face never leaving TÅμr Medb, but to hand the crazy queen a grimoire volume would destroy humans and nonhumans. Reese finds a place to stay away from those she cares for in Atlanta while hunting the origin of demons flooding the city, but she’s not as adept at hiding as she thinks.
Brynhild made a tactical mistake in underestimating humans with weapons and will not do so again. To destroy the red dragon, she needs a partner who understands this world and the one she selects has his own agenda.
In a bid to free Casidhe, Daegan agrees to enter a ghost castle where every step is a deadly trap set specifically to kill him.
*This is a 9-book spinoff series for first-time readers as well as current Belador fans.
All 9 books will release within a year and be available in e-book, print, and audiobooks.
Review:
Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World by Dianna Love is the 5th book in this 9-book arc. As a big fan of Dianna Love, as I have read all of her series. Refresher: Daegan and his team are attacked by Immortiks, who were supposed dead many years ago. Many of his Belador team are being held prisoners, with the threat of death if Daegan can’t find the missing ‘grimoire’ volumes. The information on the Immortiks and the grimoire is difficult to find, as it dates back thousands of years ago.
As the story continues, Daegan with the help of Tristan and the entity he promised to help, together they were able to find a way to rescue Casidhe away from the hands of Queen Maeve. Casidhe at first believed the bad things said about Daegan, but after hearing how he was in dire straits, and showed how much he cared for her, she realizes the truth. Knowing she was safe, Casidhe allows Daegan to go with the entity to complete his promise and she would wait for him
Daegen and Tristan find themselves in dangerous situation, as the entity did not tell all the truth, putting their lives in danger. But in a short time, they manage to get what was needed, and escape back home to Casidhe, but they needed to find the hidden Grimore box. While Casidhe and Tristan go off to find her friend, Daegan goes to visit Brina, as she is about to give birth. Daegan also discovers some secrets and revelations from Lanna, that will affect their future.
Evalle, who is acting in charge for Quinn, finds herself, Adrianna and Reese being attacked by many demons, who mainly want Reese. When things settle, Quinn finally finds Reese to tell her how he feels and wants the baby; and to keep her safe.
It is always great to see all of our favorites throughout each book. What follows is a non-stop action filled, pulse pounding story, with each chapter wild and exciting. I am not going to tell too much more, since I do not want to give spoilers, as these are short stories and saying too much would be too revealing. As normal, this book ends with an amazing multiple cliffhanger; involving Evalle, with Adrianna; Casidhe discovering that she had been betrayed long ago and Daegan and Tristan in trouble again. As I have said previously, this is a 9-book series arc and you truly do need to read these books in cohesion. If you are love paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, romance, great characters, you should be reading Dianna Love.

Great review, Barb. I have been enjoying these serials, but really enjoy the full books more. Thanks.
Hi Gab –
I’m glad you’re enjoying the series. I wrote these as fast novellas so that I would not overwhelm my readers with so many characters present at one time. It’s a really big cast, but I love a large playground when I’m writing. Thanks for reading my books! 🙂
Thanks for the great review Barb. As you know I am not the biggest fan of serials even though I have had the occasion to read several 😉
Hi Sandy –
Thanks for being here. I read all lengths of books and as I mentioned in my reply to Gab, this was something new for me. I took a long time thinking about how to deliver these stories, which I knew would have a lot of characters. I’ve read books where I had to keep a note pad handy to keep everyone straight in a book with 500-600 pages (or constantly go back to reread sections). That’s why I felt the complex plot and world building would work in this format. 🙂
Terrific review, thanks Barb. Do you know if the series o will come out as one book?
I do not know, Alexis. Perhaps if Dianna visits she can elaborate.
Hi Alexis –
Doesn’t Barb do a great job? As for all of them in one book, that would be a really big book. These are not short stories, but fat novellas. One book would be around 2700 pages. 🙂 For that reason, the books are being released individually as well as in e-box sets of 3 books each and hardback print versions with 3 books in each. 🙂 Thanks for your interest.
Terrific review, Barb. I look forward to read this. Thanks.
Hi Amy –

Hi Mari –
I just love Barb’s reviews. 🙂 I hope you give the series a try. In fact, Book 1 e-book is on sale right now for $0.99 – I have to check but I think the sale will last until the end of the month. Thanks for your interest.
Barb – Thanks for this wonderful review. I am so happy you’re enjoying the series. 🙂

Great review, Barb. Sounds like a good series to read, but 9 books are a lot.
