Observe, assimilate and blend in... Would you?
Have you ever thought of dragons living among humans? Disguised and blended in human form, fighting their own battles oblivious to human eyes? Well, buckle up and get ready for an adventure, to soar on a dragon's back to the fantasy world of TALON!
Julie Kagawa’s teenage fiction is woven around “Ember”, a dragon hatchling in human form, who dreamt of soaring above the clouds and sunshine on her shoulders. According to the story, twins: Ember and Dante are on an official training mission to Crescent beach to observe, assimilate and blend in with humans, under the watchful eyes of TALON; the most powerful dragon organization on Earth.
You can walk through the picturesque California beaches with surfers, palm trees, laughter and romance under the Summer sun. Yet, beneath all the excitement and fun, unfolds the centuries old battle between dragons and the Order of St. George, a secret human army of dragon slayers!
This first book of TALON saga well depicts the human emotions of the Dragonette Ember, the stubborn redhead, how she feels suffocated and unhappy. Unlike her twin brother, she pushes against the strict rules and training of TALON and wonders what it would be like ….to be free!
This spellbinding story takes an unexpected turn when Ember gets caught in the unlikely friendship with Riley, a rouge dragon and falls in love with Garrett, a soldier of St. George in disguise. Amidst this unusual alliance, the ticking timebomb explodes when Ember was assigned to be an assassin for TALON - to kill her own kind and oh! when she finds out Garret’s secret!
Reading TALON was an adventure for me as the author kept readers on edge with unexpected twists. Ember, torn between her twin brother who is now a part of TALON and her dragon; Fireband’s yearning for freedom, which path would she take?
