Dragon Kins Blood is the latest release from author Jo Gatenby. It is the first book in the Kingdom of Galahar series.

Who do you trust when you can’t go home?

After centuries of hiding themselves and their shifting abilities from outsiders, the Dragon Kin decide to send a delegation of “dragonriders” to a nearby Lowlander territory. Eager to see the world, young Lauran quickly volunteers. But not all Lowlanders can be trusted. As the visit comes to an end, Lauran finds herself trapped in her dragon form—and hunted by an evil warlock. Desperate to protect herself and her people, she flees along the Dragon Spine Mountains, away from friends and foes alike.


Meanwhile, the last place Jenny wants to be during her break from university is on a family vacation with her mother’s new husband and his young son, Davy. Hoping for some peace and quiet, she explores a nearby cave—only to stumble into a portal to the Kingdom of Galahar, a land of magic and mythological creatures.

As Jenny searches for Davy, who follows her through the portal, and Lauran struggles for freedom, they come together with the help of Nath, an apprentice shaman of the Anishinabe people. Between Jenny’s technology and Nath’s magic, can they help Lauran escape the warlock’s relentless pursuit before he gets his hands on the Dragon Kin’s blood?

Dragon Kins Blood is a lovely read, told via multiple POV’s with a wonderful and diverse cast of characters. The world-building builds this epic fantasy world that really draws you into the story and the world Jo has created.

The story is a little predictable but it’s engaging and still keeps you gripped due to the clever writing that really immerses you in the world.

Looking forward to the next book in the series!
