Melisse is the Dragon Queen of the Violets. She is the first offspring from a Dragon King and a Dark Fae. Melisse comes to Zora in hopes of finding a place where she belongs. When a pink disappears in a mysterious bramble, she vows to rescue it. The vines prove to be more sinister than Melisse expected. They did, however, bring Henry back into her life. Can Melisse patch things up between them? Or will their enemy keep them apart?

Former M15 agent Henry is the JusticeBringer – a special Druid tasked with policing their kind. He senses a powerful Druid on Zora who poses a threat to Melisse and Earth. Henry openly defies his Dragon King comrades by coming to the other realm to protect her and confront their foe. He discovers new aspects of his abilities within the bramble. Can Henry protect Melisse from the Druid?

For those new to the series, and curious about Melisse’s parents, their story is told in IGNITE THE MAGIC. It is basically a prequel to the DARK KINGS and DRAGON KINGS books. I like how Melisse tells the rest of her parents’ tale, years after the end of ITM. It explains her reluctance to get close to any of the Dragon Kings. What I adore the most about Melisse is how she always keeps Osric and her parents’ memory close. She never forgot the many sacrifices they made for her.

Henry has always been loyal and faithful to the Dragon Kings. He is the only human, aside from the mates, who the Kings allow to know their secrets and existence. I like how Henry never abused their trust, especially when he faced a foe who wanted the information. He remained steadfast and silent, only giving common knowledge. I am happy that Henry and Melisse finally got their happily-ever-after. Their budding romance spanned in the background of several books.

DRAGON BORN is the eighth book in Donna Grant’s fantasy-romance series, DRAGON KINGS. It is a spinoff from her paranormal series, DARK KINGS. I recommend new readers to start with the DK books before venturing into this one. Henry, and then Melisse, are first introduced. Their interactions and growing attraction take place in the background. It also explains what happened between the two.
