But it’s not just the dragon taking an interest in her. A garuda — a mysterious bird-man — also seeks her company for reasons unknown.

lara-rosa30.01.2026, 12:07Lilya Winkler, Thank you so much for your warm feedback!!! It's very nice to hear that you liked the book!!!
talina-liepa11.01.2026, 19:14Haha, turns out I started reading from the third book out of four)) and I even blamed the author: like, it’s unclear and didn’t click)) And then the author so kindly says: why not try from the beginning, with the first book)) thanks, I’ll definitely try to read everything from the first part
lara-rosa11.01.2026, 19:28talina liiepa, The first two parts are free, but they are about Alissara's parents and a bit about her childhood, as well as her first meeting with Gar))

Finished reading. My impressions are somewhat mixed... The book seems good, but... First: the names amazed me. A dragon, or even a half-dragon, named Igor - that's something! I'd say, quite unusual)) It's fantasy, but feels so much like a contemporary romance)) And second: a strong heroic-sexual storyline. This isn't a criticism of the author. Usually, all her heroes are "heroically heroic" (sorry for the tautology). But this time, I guess my mood just didn't match the plot. Still, I enjoyed reading it, thank you!
lara-rosa11.01.2026, 18:14talina liiepa, Igor appeared back in Lukomorye and was a professor of the biochemistry department in our world, hence the name. Although, his real name is Ingvar, but he got used to it)) And heroines can be different)) Besides, these are my first books - the entire "Nine Lands" trilogy)) Thank you for your feedback!

How wonderful it is when a loved one (or a dragon) shows you new horizons, new opportunities to be together, instead of clipping your wings and dreams for the same purpose.
lara-rosa09.01.2026, 14:16Talina Liepa, Definitely! Thank you!

What a valuable observation: the wrapper should match the content) and a lollipop is not a chocolate bar ;) This is our kind of realistic approach to all those "a woman should have a mystery" ideas))
lara-rosa08.01.2026, 23:01Talina Liepa, I tried)))

Wonderful dad: learn self-defense, but a woman is the greatest value, and the army is no place for her. I support this! Wars are started by men, so let them fight on their own.
lara-rosa08.01.2026, 23:00Talina Liepa, Definitely!!!

Aha, and what kind of castle is this without a legend, love sufferings, or at least some lousy ghost))) and an evil ghost!
lara-rosa08.01.2026, 23:00Talina Liepa, It's not just a ghost, really))) Thank you!
halyna-shchyrba25.11.2025, 18:17Wonderful novel about dragons by a fantastic author! ❤️⚘️❤️
lara-rosa25.11.2025, 18:25Halyna Shchyrba, Thank you, dear!!!
oksana-mitcik25.11.2025, 03:02Captivating start! Adventures, challenges, and mysteries await Alyssar! And of course, how could it be without love)
lara-rosa25.11.2025, 10:23Oksana Mytchyk, She will have plenty of adventures)) Thank you!
marinela-tomasciuc24.11.2025, 13:17Very interesting, our girl has been pursued by a black dragon since childhood, and no one knows what it wants from her. She also has another unobtrusive suitor, a bird-man. Who are they, what do they want, and why are they driving her crazy?
lara-rosa24.11.2025, 17:56Marinela Tomasciuc, Everyone wants something from her, but they’re not saying yet)) Thanks for the comment!
svitlana-gancuk15.10.2025, 21:59Very interesting story! I would call it a fairy tale for adults, but the choices, relationships, and circumstances are much closer to real life than to a fairy tale.
lara-rosa18.10.2025, 00:19Svitlana Hanchuk, Only in fairy tales is there more often a happy ending, unlike in life) Thank you!!!
kseniia-razkevic18.10.2025, 00:08Very interesting and unique fantasy. It stands out from everything I've read before. With its original and inimitable world. Alissara, despite her strength of spirit and training, is a very vulnerable and sensitive girl. I hope everything turns out well for her and she finds someone who isn't afraid to get close to her.
lara-rosa18.10.2025, 00:18Ksenia Razkevich, Thank you!!! Many of us try to hide our vulnerability under armor) Perhaps, Alissari will get lucky))
svetlana15.10.2025, 02:33A very interesting, captivating, and adventure-filled story of Alyssara, full of mysteries! Not a day without adventures or troubles. I'm curious why the black dragon told Alyssara that she was her father's mistake, something he wanted to get rid of. And Alyssara got so worked up that she could no longer think logically... Why did he try to drive a wedge between them? And why did the lazurite crystal explode... So many mysteries that are so exciting to unravel. The story is amazing!
lara-rosa15.10.2025, 08:50Svetlana, The dragon has its own motives: it has a traumatized psyche, and it's because of people - that's why it behaves like that at times. Thank you!

I laughed a lot at Alissara's antics. What is the mystery with the black dragon? Thanks to the author!
lara-rosa14.10.2025, 21:53Anna, This black dragon is an old acquaintance of her parents)) That's where the mysteries come from. Thank you!
iana-knisoyid14.10.2025, 20:18Not a day goes by without something happening. Lissa can't go a day without adventures.
lara-rosa14.10.2025, 20:26Yana Knyzhoid, It's more fun this way))) Especially for dad, who mom has started to give gray hairs to))) Thank you!
