"Dragonic Freedom" is a fantasy-adventure-suspense story, estimated by the author to be of the approximate rating PG-13.

Warning: spoilers for the first book “Dragons to Loose” are contained herein. Also contained herein may be what readers might consider teasers for book 2, but there are no outright spoilers for book 2.

FANTASY

Fantasy themes from the first book are continued: notably, the dragons. Also continuing are the gifts of Sensitivity, generally describeable as psychic abilities, which a few of the characters possess. New abilities are introduced and all are expanded upon to some degree or another. The spiritual world (meaning spirits, not organized religions) also expands with this book. The religions remain as before, tolerant and open, accepting of all without judgment: a fantasy indeed for our religiously intolerant world. A new aspect is the introduction of a few magical objects whose origins are yet to be fully explained.

ADVENTURE

Just as in the first book, Morrigan and Kyan are off on an adventure, seeking answers and community in places they’ve never been. It’s bound to be dangerous and they get into a bit more than they’d expected, leaving them with the task of getting out of what they’ve gotten into with at least, as Morrigan says, “my mate, my friends, and most of my skin.” Like the first book, be ready for chases, escapes, a few fights, some high flying, and add in a deadly game of hide-and-seek in the darkest depths, desperate subterfuge, old broken promises and delicate new ones, and some really bad weather.

SUSPENSE

The first book was a love story, but with the romance resolved and affirmed and the blissfully pair-bonded off to discover the world (when they aren’t arguing) some new tension slips in. The journey brings mysteries and dangers that must be faced: dangers that could cost lives as time ticks down. In particular, for one member of the party comes a new challenge and a chance to, quite literally, vanquish some ghosts, if the courage can be found, and if the deepest fears can be faced.

But that doesn’t mean that the romance has been vanquished entirely. As long as people live folks will love, and though not a major element in the story’s plot, there is still a little romance to be found, as well as relationships of several sorts—good and bad and in between—which will continue to act upon the characters, old and new, in moving them along their journey.
