Review 

I received this book from the author Corey Guerra in return for a honest review.  The book is about Makayla who is training to be a druid also known in the book as a Giadi.  She has spent the last two years being trained by Alis a fellow druid. Makayla is plagued by dreams that are growing clearer and more violent the more she has them. They are all leading her to the dragon eye but don't know what that would mean. Her father has done extensive research teaching Makayla everything he could about the dragon eye. Which is a magical stone that can control all the dragons of the world but only one human can control its power. 

A nearby temple is attacked and Alis is told to bring Makayla to the council for further instruction. Along the way the pair is attacked all but one of their royal guards Almar are slain but they are saved by Kay and Corrin two thieves running from the law. With the aid of the two men Almar is able to get the girls safely away, and on the road to the council. As the journey continues it starts to wear on Makayla because she's unaware why the council is requesting to see her. 

I don't want to give too much away so that's all you get. This book pulls you in right from the start full of in depth story line that keeps you wanting more. I really like the little band of characters they each have their own unique story and they fit well together. The whole book is set in a unique fascinating world of magic, dragons, elves and more the fills the imagination.  I felt that the characters are well, and developed well so that I had a great idea who they are.  I enjoyed the book, it was a little overwhelming from the start but once I got into I really enjoyed the book. I liked the world and would be interested in reading more books along the same lines.
