Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 21
Silas pulled some books off one of the shelves, revealing a safe. He pulled a key from his pocket and placed the key in the lock before opening it. I watched as he pulled out my grandmother’s book wrapped in a clean silk cloth.
“You knew what it was didn’t you?” I ask and he turns to look at me.
“I knew the moment I saw the emblem on the front. I have seen this before. Before the war began, we have been looking for it” he said, opening it.
“Why?”
“Because it is supposed to say how to break the curse,” he says before pulling the cloth off and revealing my grandmother’s book.
“And If I can’t read it?” I ask.
“We keep looking, we have found you so the chosen one can’t be far,” Dragus says, coming up behind me and sitting on the edge of the desk.
“How do you know?”
“For someone not wanting to break the curse, you seem to ask a lot of questions,” Dragus tells me. I was asking questions, but not for the sake of breaking the curse placed on them. I wanted to know how to restore the fae back to their magic if any remain, restore the balance.
Silas placed the book in my hand, and I brushed my fingers over the emblem. I recognised the emblem carved into its leather. My grandmother always hid the book, so I never got a good look at it. I brushed my fingers over it, and I realised where I had seen it. My mother’s necklace had the same emblem etched into the stone it held.
“You recognise that?” Silas asked, stepping closer. I nod my head.
“So, have you seen it before?”
“Yes, on my mother’s necklace,” I tell him.
“Do you have it?” I shake my head. I knew where it was, I wasn’t telling them that and as long as they didn’t ask, I would keep it that way, because something told me her necklace was linked to the curse on them. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but I had this strange feeling that both the book and her necklace were connected somehow.
Opening the cover, I turn a few pages before handing it back. “It’s still blank,” I tell him. He takes it from me and flicks the pages like the words were going to appear. Silas grips my shoulders, looking me dead in the eye.
“Are you lying to me? Can you read it?” he says emphasising every word.
“No, you know I can’t lie. So why ask?,” I tell him. And it was the truth. I couldn’t read it. But I knew one thing they obviously didn’t know. It may be my twenty-First birthday, but fae magic is extremely specific. Magic doesn’t manifest until the exact time you were born, and I still had until 10. 03pm tonight.
“Because fae with magic can lie” Dragus says. I shake my head, disagreeing with him.
“No, they can’t, my grandmother would have told me that.”
“Not if she was lying to you, didn’t you say she still had her magic?” I say nothing because he was right she did still have magic.

Loved loved loved this book. Thank you x...
Personally love the story/book. Loved reading it online and would love to purchase the book. Is it a little darker than I would like? Yes; however, it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t reread it. I also think that there is a lot more story to be told but I understand this being in the genre of “erotic fantasy” and trying not to stay too far from that. Would love to read a mythical fantasy/action version though. Would love to get closure of Aldin and how he feels about his families past, or if he even knew. Or diving deeper into Silas past as to why he is as angry as he is. Surely there were other events leading up to Blaire’s appearance in his life that had made him the villain he is. I would love more explanation as to how Taylor came back into the picture after betraying the kings. Just so many unanswered questions but also a really captivating read ♥️ thanks Jessica 🙏🏼...
😐 story was ok but I’m iffy about the romanticizing of the amount of abuse in this book and how forced the bond is. She doesn’t want them. they and the bond are forcing her to accept it. Also she keeps sacrificing herself for Abigail fine whatever but agrees to be mates with the 3 monsters? Like c’mon now wtf happened to all her fight? Can’t she be a bit more selfish? I’m just saying I knew this would happen eventually but the way it happened and when it did felt hella forced disappointing and a huge let down for me. By rating for this book dropped down to 0 instantly. Couldn’t the marking session happen when she was on better terms with them? Finding out Matt betrayed her trust and Silas threatening to kill her friends just to 3 seconds later get all horny with them felt kinda sick and out of place. Like did the mating have to happen instantly couldnt they give her some time to cool off first? Or even apologize? This book brushes off stuff way too easily and it truly bothers me. Feels like I’m wasting my time investing into the arguments and taking sides only for it to be resolved without so much as an apology they just move on and pretend it didn’t happen. It pisses me off reading their arguments knowing it won’t go anywhere and no development cause they don’t discuss any fucking thing. Makes me wonder why everyone is praising this author so god damn much. There’s a lot wrong with this story and it starts with the letter S. I’m disappointed adult women are the ones writing awful stories like this one. Comments and reviews justifying the abuse makes me wonder how they find entertainment in such violence to say it’s the best book they’ve ever read. That’s disturbing to think about...
Perfect!...
