Golden, by Melissa De La Cruz, Michael Johnston

The third and final installment in the Heart of Dread series will see our heroes fighting to save the blue and magic in this explosive final confrontation.

It took us one book to fall in love with Natasha Kestal and a second book to explain her story to us. Now in this third triumph we'll finally see everything that Natasha has been fighting for come to a head. For the readers this means an explosive book, filled with fighting, magic and plot, everything we've been addicted too throughout the heart of dread books so far. For our characters it means making some of the biggest choices they've had to face yet.


From the blurb;

'The rift is open.

'Natasha Kestal is a drakonrydder. Savior of the Blue. Protector of the Flame.

'She has won her latest battle, but a greater war lies ahead. Her beloved Wes is dying, and the source of all magic may die with him.

'To save Wes's life, and their world, Nat must make the ultimate sacrifice. But how will she choose between her duty and her kin?'


Golden has all the high impact magic dystopia fantasy elements you could wish for in this short but powerful finale. As Natasha fly's through the polluted frost bitten air of the mortal world, fighting off the military who seek to control and ultimately destroy the peaceful haven of the Blue she calls home, the reader is also swept along.


The first two books have both been building to this moment, on the sea, far from home and desperate. Natasha is forced to make the decision that will decide the future of everything and everyone in both realms. The authors of this novel hold no punches as they launch their readers into this ultimate final confrontation, the majesty and intricacy of all the small details they have laced throughout the first two books coming to a beautiful conclusion that any reader will be satisfied with.


We give Golden Three Stars
