But now it is also time to start behaving as a married couple i. Dragos needs to understand that Pia is his equal partner. So, when Pia wants to visit the Light Fae and re-establish the relations between the Wyr and the snotty Elves; Dragos has to let her do it - no matter how much worried he is for her safety.
The continuation of the story for one of the most beloved couples in PNR. This adventure will not be an easy one. Many fights, death and destruction. And yes, we will have another HEA but with a bittersweet taste for everything that was lost. Dragos cannot definitely function and exist without Pia.
We might make a list of pretty words that we can call each other or use in our relationship, but I don't feel pretty things for you. I feel things for you that are volcanic and dangerous, and I'm not safe at the best of times. View all 4 comments. I absolutely adore this couple!!! It was so good to see how their relationship has progressed since Dragon Bound. There is something special about this couple that brings a smile to my face My favorite of the series so far. I have to admit Pia and Dragos haven't really imprinted on me as a couple in Dragon Bound.
Pia is starting her journey to the lanod of the Elves, but even more importantly into the land of being The Big Deal and Dragos's partner and mate in full. She's meeting the Elven High Lord and his consort to start negotiations with them regarding Dragos's pesky banishment from their lands. If there's one thing the dragon lord sucks at, it's diplomacy. So, she'll do this for him. Or so she thinks But, pretty soon, the situation gets complicated as she gets deeper into an Enchanted Forrest which has a fancy name, but I like this one: D and an old power resurfaces, looking to destroy everything in sight Independence is great and all, but there are times when an ancient, huge, powerful dragon of a mate can be a bit useful.
And this is definitely it. And why'd he stay behind? Well there is the issue of replacing two of his Sentiels.
One fight, Wyr to Wyr. No weapons, no second chances, no holds barred. There was just one rule: At least not on purpose.
I just wish more attention was put on them. That would be even cooler. So, Dragos is separated from his beloved and in his usual domineering, alpha nature he isn't handling it well. But Pia's training is evident, too. They're dream-meeting and texting aye, texting! And luckily for Pia and the Elves, Dragos found gave in to his impulses and went to her in exactly the right time. Romance, blood and magic follow In this great addition to the series! So, back to all I love. I love Pia and her spunky, independent, yet reasonable and smart self.
She fights for her rights and place in the relationship, yet doesn't become too headstrong to accept help when it's needed. I love her humor and quirkiness and her interactions with the Peanut. And the way she teases the Big Bad He is commanding and scary and so. It's so clear what he feels for Pia and the baby transcends all else. And together they're even better! I like Pia's guard and Eva. I'm intrigued by the Seninel's fates and their eventual HEAs. I like the world and all its possibilities.
Not to mention all the diverse characters. So, basically I loved this. The few tiny things that bugged me a little 1. I expected to see more of the Sentinel Games 2. The resolution with the bad guy felt a bit too easy after all the problems and death. And just a question After everything was done, Dragos summoned the Elder tribunal and one of the Djinns came almost immediately. Why not get them to help in battle? All of that, however is not that relevant in the scheme of two great Wyr I came to love I can't wait for more!
Some quotes "As far as she was concerned, there were only two things that made living in Cuelebre Tower worth it. One of them was the peanut—and she really had to stop calling him that, because the little fetus was already so smart, she could tell he thought his name actually was Peanut. The other was Dragos, who was primitive, powerful, domineering, calculating, manipulative, infernally clever and tactless, and who she adored with all of her heart. Dragos, who created as many problems as he solved, and who loved her too, fiercely, so much so he had mated with her.
Their lives had become inextricably entwined, and they had to work together for things now. She smiled as she stroked his face, glad she could lighten his mood for a little while. He was such a hard male, and sometimes that hardness bruised others, but sometimes it bruised him most of all. Everything is going to be fine. Your mommy is supposed to say that to you. Even though she was in the middle of labor, his nude, muscled body was worth a moment of reverent silence.
I want to look nice. Didn't I say I love these wacky beings? View all 14 comments. Pia and Dragos have changed a little bit since Dragon Bound. Although Dragos continues to exude this otherworldly power and Pia still keeps him on his toes, they have grown and matured, developing into what resembles a married couple. Simply put, they have grown into each other, but that doesn't mean everything is perfect. It covers the good and also the bad, which may alarm some readers because of the distance that occurs between them in this book. Just because they are already mated and have a babe that Pia likes to call Peanut on the way, it doesn't mean that it's a happily ever after for them.

Feb 14, Melanie rated it it was amazing Shelves: A solid 5 stars When I found out Thea Harrison planned to revisit Pia and Dragos - the couple that started it all for 'Elder Races' fans - I'll admit to being disappointed. I do not like it when my fave duos start getting bogged down by relationship issues because more often than not it tends to ruin my perception of the original story. However , I now freely admit that in this case a whole new book featuring a still newly mated Pia and Dragos was warranted.
TH really does an amazing job of making 'Lord's Fall' about partnership and purpose - and seeding what looks to be great new and interesting story lines. In 'Lord's Fall' seven months have past since 'Dragon Bound' The Wyr demesne is still in the midst of a trade embargo imposed by the Elves and is reeling from the news that their impenetrable leader has mated to a mysterious half-Wyr - not to mention the loss of two strong sentinels.
Pia herself, although deliriously in love with and mostly happily mated to Dragos, is struggling to find her footing in this often harsh new reality while coping with a less than typical pregnancy. In an effort to soften relations with the Elves, and assert herself as consort to the leader of the Wry demesne, Pia accepts an invitation by the Elven Lord to visit their territory and repair the broken treaty - against Dragos' best judgment. During this small separation, Dragos is presiding over the Sentinel Games to replace those he lost - and demonstrate to the world the strength of the Wyr.
Pia and Dragos make huge strides in how to lead together. Dragos may be the omnipotent immortal, but Pia strengthens and fotifies his Power by softening his heart and teaching him compassion. All in all, 'Lord's Fall' is one of the most action-packed 'Elder Races' to date, yet retains the elegant prose and subtle edge that personifies TH's writing style. I loved the addition of the two new sentinels, view spoiler [that pegasus dude sounds HAWT hide spoiler ] and the glimpses of "Peanut" throughout the story really made this one special - he's going to be a real force to be reckoned with in the 'Elder Races' future!

Things become bit dicey when Pia gets there and once Dragos gets a hint of it, there is nothing that will stop him from getting to her. Oh how I love Dragos and Pia I love that TH treated us to a 4. I love that TH treated us to another story about them! And the only reason I knocked it down a half star was because I didn't really care that much about the rest of the story.
I just wanted more Dragos and Pia!!
Pia just always makes me laugh. She always comes across so tough but we get to see another side of her in this story and it was fantastic. And we really get to see that with Dragos. It was so heartwarming to see how they both worked on their relationship. Pia just knows him so well. Her Wyr form and her powers are really intriguing and as we get to know more, it seems that there is so much more to find out. Dragos is his amazing self We also get to see more of his powers and the ingenious things he can do with them. TH has a fantastic imagination! All his references to the "penny" made me laugh and how he acted in the jewelry store?
The other thing I really enjoyed was getting to know other characters and Wyrs. It would have been interesting to get more time at the Sentinel Games but I liked all the different Wyrs. But the harpy's incessant wrath has pushed Quentin to the limit, and forces him to make a deadly vow of his own. To put an end to the conflict, Dragos, Lord of the Wyr, sends them on a reconnaissance mission to the Elven land of Numenlaur.
Forced to work together, Aryal and Quentin's antagonism escalates. Each fight draws forth more passion-culminating in an explosively sexual confrontation.
But when their mission reveals real danger, Aryal and Quentin must resolve their differences in ways beyond the physical, before the entire Wyr is threatened.

So it pained me to have a negative opinion of one of her books. However, I just could not get into a story where the male character punched his future love interest in the face, and later pounded her head into the pavement. Another sticking point is that they both plotted to murder each other in the beginning, selfishly disregarding the effect this would have on the small band of sentinels responsible for keeping world peace among the Wyr and inter-demesnes.
These were not characters that I particularly liked, or cared about. I understand that her motive was to have a fierce heroine in this one. But trying to kill each other and the woman getting punched in the face and throttled by the man she would later love? Somehow this worked in the movie Mr and Mrs Smith, but I don't know how the writers did it.
Perhaps because neither one seriously was going to go through with their assassination attempt, and they didn't show Mr Smith actually kicking Mrs Smith - it was hidden behind the couch and somehow made to look like rough sparring. In this case, they were dead serious. And this was a major character reversal from the protective Quentin in Dragon Bound. Aryal, the Harpy Sentinel, is angry. She knows that the new sentinel Quentin Caeravorn is a career criminal but she has been unable to pin anything on him after two years of investigation.
I love this series, I love all the detail with characters and how it intertwined all the previous stories. The guys are so hot and the women are right there with them. I find myself laughing and held at the end of my seat waiting for what happens next and then I'm at the last chapter. I can't wait for more.
Please tell me there's more. And am interested in seeing some of Thea's other books on audio. I drive about half of my day sometimes more, these books really saved my life and sanity.
