Review: Emerald & Shadow by Lilliana Rose @LillianaRose2

Emerald & Shadow

by Lilliana Rose

Published: August 28, 2025

Genre: Paranormal Fantasy, Fantasy, Magic, Short Read, Fae, Romance, Dragon Shifters


Blurb:


My kingdom is dying.

I am next in line for the throne, but a crown means nothing in a kingdom consumed by shadow. A desperate whisper of magic leads me to a Rhysand Page. Not the legendary dragon I sought but a broken man hiding amongst humans.

He hasn’t shifted in decades, but I sense a flicker of power within him—a fire I must rekindle. I offer him everything—my hand, my crown, my very being.

To save my kingdom, I’ll bargain with a dragon. To save his soul, he’ll embrace the fae. But in this dance of fire and shadow, will we find salvation or destruction?

My Review:

Emerald & Shadow presents a captivating narrative centered around a dragon and a fae. The Fae realm stands on the brink of annihilation, prompting Mai to journey to the human world in search of the magic required to rescue her people from her uncle, who harbors ambitions of usurping her father's throne.

Should her uncle succeed, he would not only obliterate her world but also seek to conquer additional realms. In the human realm, Mai encounters a dragon named Rhysand, whom she fervently hopes will assist her in thwarting her uncle, Erebus, from dethroning her father.

Emerald & Shadow is a succinct read that conveys the depth of a full-length novel. It captivated my attention from the very first page. Once I commenced reading, I found it impossible to set the book down until I reached the conclusion. The intertwined journey of Mai and Rhysand kept me engaged as I eagerly turned the pages, eager to discover if and how they would safeguard the Fae realm.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of following Mai and Rhysand, gaining insight into their characters as they became acquainted with one another. The depiction of their magical connection was particularly enchanting, allowing me to visualize each moment as if I were present, witnessing the magic that flowed between them.

I highly recommend that all enthusiasts of magical tales acquire a copy of Emerald & Shadow and accompany Mai and Rhysand on their mesmerizing adventure.

Review: Dragon Reborn (The Ochre Dragon Shifter Series #2) by Lilliana Rose @LillianaRose2

Dragon Reborn

by Lilliana Rose

Published: October 29, 2024

Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Dragons, Mythical Creatures, Dragon Shifters


Blurb:


Trapped in a cavern, bound to a dragon. This wasn't the future I'd planned.

The silence is deafening, the loneliness a constant ache. Roran, my dragon, is frozen in stone, a prisoner of his love for me, his warmth a distant memory. The dragon eggs, our only hope, pulse with a magic I don't understand.

Fear whispers in the shadows, a prophecy unfolds, and a darkness I can't comprehend threatens to consume us all. I'm just a human, caught in a world of ancient magic, a world where love is a curse, and destiny is a cruel master.

But the bond we share, the fire he ignited within me, refuses to be extinguished. And as the line between our worlds blurs, I must find the strength to face my fears, to embrace the unknown, to fight for a future I never dared to dream of.

Because even in the darkest of nights, a dragon's love can ignite a dawn.

Note to Reader: This book follows on from Dragon Bond. While Dragon Reborn can be read as a standalone it would be more enjoyable journey to read Dragon Bond first.

My Review:

Dragon Reborn is the second installment in Lilliana Rose’s The Ochre Dragon Shifter Series. It further develops the romance between Roran and Lila. Roran faces punishment for forming a bond with a human, which is prohibited between humans and dragons.

His consequence for loving Lila is being transformed into a stone statue of his dragon self and confined in a concealed cave that safeguards three dragon eggs. Lila’s affection for Roran is so profound that she decides to join him in the cave.

They have the opportunity to be together for one day each month when Roran can assume his human form. They cannot share moments when Roran is in his dragon shape. The vivid descriptions were so masterfully crafted that I could sense the emotions and love flowing between Roran and Lila. I felt like a hidden observer in a dark corner of the cave, witnessing their connection.

I was enthralled by every word, with all the intrigue and tension that kept me engaged until the very last page. This narrative is one that I believe will linger in my mind long after I turn that final page. I am eagerly anticipating the next chapter in The Ochre Dragon Shifter Series, titled Dragon Desire, to discover the adventures that await in this magical dragon realm.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dragon Reborn to all enthusiasts of dragons and romantic tales. The intricate world-building and multifaceted characters set a high benchmark for future releases. As I reflect on my journey through Dragon Reborn, I can’t help but feel thrilled about the potential surprises in Dragon Desire.

The author’s talent for intertwining magic, romance, and adventure promises an unforgettable continuation of this enthralling saga. I can’t wait to dive back into the exhilarating escapades and romantic encounters in the upcoming book. Make sure to grab your copy of Dragon Reborn today!
