Soon after the book opens, Ward’s father dies and it may no longer be wise for him to hide his intelligence, although he’s not certain whom he can trust with the truth-and he has to prove himself capable of being lord of the place he knows he belongs. Ward’s father killed his own father in order to take his place as Hurogmeten, and after he beat Ward especially badly one day, he decided he had better not do anything to make his father believe he was a threat to his rule before he actually beat him to death. He pretends to miss the obvious and acts as though he doesn’t completely understand conversations, all because he’s terrified of his cruel father, the lord of Hurog. When the book begins, Ward has spent the last seven years playing a part. It’s a fairly short, entertaining, somewhat traditional fantasy with warring kingdoms and magic, but the best part of all is the main character, Ward. The bones could prove to be dangerous in the wrong hands, and Ward is certain his enemies will stop at nothing to possess them.Īlthough I love Patricia Briggs’ renowned Mercy Thompson books, I hadn’t read any of her work unrelated to this series until Dragon Bones. For he has seen a pile of magical dragon bones hidden deep beneath Hurog Keep. But soon his mission takes a deadly turn.
Riding into a war that’s heating up on the border, Ward, the new lord of Hurog, is sure he’s on the fast track to glory. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer's sights.A magical tale from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Iron Kissed. They quickly realize that not only the last two victims were werewolves-all of them were. Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston, when the FBI requests the pack's help on a local serial killer case. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father's dirty work is taking a toll on Charles. Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can't afford any bad publicity. While Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind.
The son-and enforcer-of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. Patricia Briggs, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson novels, "always enchants her readers." (Lynn Viehl, New York Times bestselling author) Now her Alpha and Omega series-set in a world of shifting shapes, loyalty, and passion-brings werewolves out of the darkness and into a society where fear and prejudice could make the hunters prey.
