“With peace established between the humans and the dragons, young couple Creel and Luka are planning their wedding. But then the dragon queen, Velika, is kidnapped by a band of rogue dragons in need of a ruler. When Creel and Luka rush to help, they discover that Luka’s father has plans to take back the Far Islands from the dragons. Creel’s happily ever after just might be postponed . . . again.”

This is the final book in the Dragon Slippers series. It was a well done conclusion to this series and I really enjoyed it alot. For some reason I felt like this book was a bit slower than the other books.

In this book we get to see the dragons’ new home on the Far Islands. Unfortunately, shortly after their arrival on the Far Islands Creel and Luka learn that Luka’s father wants to take back the Far Islands and then Velika (Queen of Dragons) is kidnapped. It’s up to Creel and her companions to rescue the queen and help create an alliance between the dragons and Luka’s kingdom.

This book has lots of great adventure and wonderful characters. I really love the dragons and enjoyed getting to see their new home. I did feel like this was the weakest book of the series, for some reason it just wasn’t as exciting as previous ones. It is still a very good read; highly entertaining, well written, and fun.

Overall I enjoyed this book a lot and thought it did a decent job of wrapping up the series. I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a light and fun fantasy read with dragons and a strong, yet feminine, heroine.
