Overview
In the land of Amara, peace and rebuilding abound after years of war and spiritual apathy. The dragon population is flourishing under the care of Kale and her father, who serve as dragon keepers for Paladin.
But as they work to hatch, bond, and release the young dragons as helpers throughout the kingdom, a sinister evil lurks just beneath the surface. Kale and her husband, Sir Bardon, must set aside their duties to join Regidor and Gilda, two meech dragons, on a quest to find a hidden meech colony.
Their journey is fraught with peril as they discover an unseen enemy threatening their world. Donita K.
Paul’s DragonLight is a breathtaking conclusion to the DragonKeeper Chronicles, filled with mind-blowing fantasy and adventure.
About the Author
As a writer, I specialize in Christian Fantasy. While my initial works consisted of 7 Christian Romance novels, my creative interests eventually led me to explore the Dark Side of literature.
However, it wasn’t the promise of power or grandeur that drew me in – it was the prospect of cookies.

DragonLight is an exhilarating read that will take you on an epic adventure of magic, love, and redemption. The novel belongs to the fantasy genre, and as such, it is imbued with elements of magic, mythical creatures, and worlds that defy imagination.
Blessed with a writing style that is both engaging and immersive, Donita K. Paul masterfully weaves together these elements into a seamless story that is both captivating and entertaining.
The themes explored in the novel include love, sacrifice, redemption, and the importance of friendship. Set in a magical world, DragonLight follows the story of Kale and Bardon, two warriors who saved their world from dark forces in the previous novels of the series.
Now, they must face an even more challenging task as they embark on a mission to destroy the evil lord, Paladon, and his dragon. Along the way, they face numerous challenges, including the loss of loved ones, betrayal, and self-doubt.

While DragonLight is a work of fiction, it addresses social and moral issues that are relevant to our world today, highlighting the importance of embracing diversity, standing up for what is right, and sacrificing for the greater good. Donita K.
Paul does a great job of weaving these themes into the narrative without sounding preachy. The novel’s greatest strength is its immersive narrative that captivates the imagination of the reader.

It receives a rating of 4.5 out of 5, based on its exceptional writing, world-building, characters, and themes.
