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?

Embracing the Dragon is the first installment from The Flames of Kalleen series. It is, also, the first book I have read by KL Bone. I enjoyed this story. The writing style was different and unique, which was refreshing. I liked reading something that is new and different and something outside of my comfort zone. Amelia is an admirable character full of strength and courage. I loved hearing the Kylie Stewart’s narration of the book and having her performing Amelia's tale.
I give Embracing the Dragon four and a half stars. I look forward to the next installment in The Flames of Kalleen series.
