The second in a fierce and sensual new paranormal romance series featuring demonic gladiators, ruthless mafia villains, and the choices made by a proud race on the brink of extinction.
As a young man, sarcastic, violent Tallis Pendray believed the Dragon Kings’ survival depended on a prophecy delivered in dreams by a woman named “the Sun.” His role has been to complete inexplicable, even reprehensible tasks. First, by murdering a priest, he united his fragmented clan in their hatred of him. Dubbed “the Heretic,” Tallis fled his family’s Highland estate. Now disillusioned, he seeks revenge on the woman he holds responsible for two decades of exile.
Telepath Kavya Indranan is a charismatic, seductive cult leader born to a prominent family. However, she grew up terrorized by the ominous threat of her powerful, insane twin brother. On the run and hiding among the poor, she witnessed the destruction wrought by her clan’s centuries-old civil war. Maturity nurtures Kavya’s determination to end the cycle of bloodshed. Those who follow her call for peace have nicknamed her “the Sun.”
Bent on revenge, and without knowledge of Kavya’s noble intentions, Tallis kidnaps her on the eve of her groundbreaking announcement. The two watch in horror as her twin brutally smashes the tentative truce…and hunts the sister whose death would make him invincible.
Kavya is the Sun—revered, untouched, and bound by a lonely destiny that promises a deadly showdown against the last of her family. Tallis is the Heretic—despised and exiled because of actions that seem random, heartless, and contrary to the safety of the clans he protects. She’s not a goddess, and he’s not a natural born killer. A desperate trek from the Himalayan foothills to the Scottish Highlands reveals two secluded souls hidden by bloody reputations. Will their trust be strong enough to avert an all-out war that could destroy them, and their kind, forever?

Review
"The romance is swoonworthy, the sexual tension is red-hot, and it's suggested you find a chunk of free time or you'll be reading long into the night, unwilling to put this book down." ~ RT Book Reviews, 4½ Stars Top Pick
From the Inside Flap
PrologueTwenty Years Ago
"I need your help. Tallis, please, I need you."
The Sun. She was back.
Tallis of Pendray wanted to jerk free of his dream. He wouldn't listen to her exotic, lilting seductions. He would wake up this time. He would.
"You try my patience and break my heart," she whispered. "You're fighting me when there's no need to fight. Don't wake. Stay with me. Stay..."
Her steely words were coated with sweet honey. This was the sixth time she'd slipped into his nighttime mind. Five times previous, he'd refused to obey unthinkable entreaties spoken by a wide, smiling mouth. Five times previous, he'd awoken to the dawn sunlight streaming through the windows of Castle Clannarah, convinced he was losing his mind.
By the Dragon or the Chasm, he wasn't going to look himself in the mirror come morning and ask the same questions.
Is she real? Is she right?
Am I going mad?
"Always the same worries in that fevered mind of yours.""You're in my mind," he replied, although his voice sounded metallic and distant. "It will always be fevered."
"I'm afraid that's true. You deserve better than all this confusion."
Tallis wanted to wake, but there was a reason he'd endured her nightmare appearances. Again. And again. And again. Colors glistened on her skin, as if she were a woman made of light rather than flesh. The swirl of her silken gown created yet another shimmer that haloed her entire body. Dark hair with caramel highlights swished back to reveal ethereally perfect features. Eve, Helen of Troy, Lady Godiva--none of them would compare. How could they? They were human.
The Sun was a Dragon King.
Tallis was, too, but she made him feel like a commoner crawling in the dirt just to bow at her feet. She had chosen him. Who was he to deny the wishes of a goddess when she offered the warmth of her golden attention?
"I've asked you before." She hovered just out of reach, but her breath brushed his cheek. "Are you ready?"
"I can't," he rasped. "What you ask... It's obscene. It's criminal. I will not kill for you."
"The true crime is what has become of your people. The Pendray are ready to rip one another to pieces. You are so few in numbers compared to the other Five Clans. Soon you'll be as lost as the Garnis, reduced to a few frail remnants who'd rather spit at one another than claim kinship."
"Murder will stop more murder?"
"Shhh."
She placed a hand to his brow. Tallis hissed through his teeth. It was the first time she'd touched him. His body went rigid so quickly that he feared he'd wake. He didn't want to, not now, not when she was finally skin to skin. He closed his eyes and absorbed the soft warmth of her fingers threading into his hair. He sank deeper into the realm of sleep.
"Tallis." She said his name with a slice of warning.
As with the hours after sunset when cool shadows reign, the Sun's withdrawal was just as chilling. Tallis reached out to grab her hand, but she slipped away. A frustrated growl reminded him of his capacity to do harm. A beast waited in his blood--the Pendray gift from the Dragon--and that beast was rousing from its sleep.
"You want me in your arms," the Sun said, her voice bold with confidence.
"Yes."
"And what else?"
"I want you beneath me."
She smiled as if she'd already given permission and was only waiting for him to grab her and lay her down. "I want that, too. Shall I show you how much?"
The dream world had become as real as the North Sea, with its icy aqua waters. He loved the view from the top of the crest, just north of his family's ancient castle. Although the sea's waves were a roiling tempest, they had the opposite effect on his thoughts. He was always calm when looking across that imposing scene, knowing his people had mastered its waters for millennia.
This was as real as the sea.
If he was mad, he didn't care. "Whatever you want," he said. "I can't... I can't resist anymore."
"You make this sound so terrible, Tallis, my handsome one."
"Beheading a priest? Of course it's terrible." Lust hummed through his body, burning with the strength of an animal caged by iron bars and prodded from all sides.
She shifted. Her mouth was an inch from his. "Right now, you want to kill. You'd kill me if you could."
"I would."
"You won't. You want to make me happy."
The Sun was hypnotic. Every time Tallis thought he could peer through the soft rays of light that surrounded her and blurred her features, she shifted.
"I'll make you happy, too, Tallis. Let me show you."
She kissed him.
Lip to lip.
Then deeper.
Without words she gave Tallis permission to unleash his gathering violence. They kissed like Pendray in the midst of a berserker rage, where pleasure and pain merged into a ferocious dance of push, pull, scratch, claw.
He had her in his arms. Yes.
He had her stretched beneath him. Yes.
But as Tallis positioned himself between her wet folds, she was gone. He thrust into nothing. He bucked and fought, howling his frustration, spitting with anger at her and at himself. She'd taken him so far. She'd given him so much.
She'd snatched it all away.
He couldn't see himself from that dream perspective, but he felt the embarrassment of kneeling and being unable to hide his erection. Shame burned his cheeks as he looked up. The Sun was hovering again, clothed again, smiling as if she hadn't just teased him within an inch of insanity.
"Get back here," he growled.
"You're not giving orders, Tallis. We have so much to do."
He blinked and looked at her again--and froze. She was no longer hovering but riding a dragon as real as anything he'd ever beheld while conscious. The creature was even more real than the Sun, who continued to shift though myriad colors and forms.
"Do you see? You and I are bound. I will tease you, cajole you, even pity you. You will hate me and worship me. And in the end, you will do as I bid because we have both been chosen by the Great Dragon."
The magnificent creature turned its face toward Tallis. Strong ridges outlined its brow and hid small, dark eyes. It wasn't scaly but layered with what appeared to be endless varieties of fabric, in shades of black, orange, blue, purple, a fiery red--anything a waking eye could behold. The effect was radiant. Every movement rippled across its long torso and forked tail. It bared its teeth in a wide grimace. A lolling tongue appeared just before a burst of flame and a snort of smoke escaped.
Elegant and eternal, the Dragon was so humbling that Tallis hugged the ground in a deep bow. He shuddered. He could no longer look upon the creature that had birthed their race, knowing his eyes would burn to cinders and madness would follow.
The Sun rode the Dragon. A true goddess.
"You know what I say is true and just. Our people are dying."
The dream had become the most astonishing nightmare. "We can reverse that?"
"Yes, we can. The Chasm isn't fixed."
Chilly air rippled across his back, accompanied by the swish of flapping wings. The Great Dragon was near yet far in that way dreams could warp perspective, yet she still rode upon its back like Boudicca into battle. No mist or light or golden silk swirled between them. He clearly saw the color of her eyes. Amber. The swirling amber of a consuming fire--the fire breathed by the Dragon as it began to fly away.
"I will let you touch me every time we meet," she said, her voice receding. "One day, I will let you unleash that monstrous temper and take what you want from my body."
"Fix the Chasm. How?"
"You kill for me. Whenever I ask. No matter who it is. You'll behead one Dragon King after another. We will rid our people of those who sow discord. Only when we achieve unity will we heal what has been bleeding for thousands of years. I command you just as the Dragon commands me."
She'd won. Even without the miracle of witnessing their Creator, the tingle up his spine whispered that she would've won anyway. She always would.
"I'll be hated. I'll never have a home after tonight."
The Sun blew him a kiss before fading into darkness. "Yes, dear one, but you will always have me."

Soft porn disguised as paranormal romance.
By Kathleen
I love paranormal romances with a good dose of romance and sex and have read many, but this is just too much. The characters are flat and do not come to life, the plot is thin and a barely disguised excuse for sex that occasionally borders on rape. Did not finish this one.

Not as great as the previous books in series but still good
By Jacque
Blood Warrior is the second installment in the Dragon King series. Here we meet telepathic Indranan Kavya and the Pendray Berseker Tallis. The Indranan have been in a civil war for thousands of year. Kavya is the Sun and she is determined to end the cycle of bloodshed. Tallis has been plagued by a woman named “the Sun” for two decades in his dreams. She has made him complete inexplicable, even reprehensible tasks believing the survival of the Dragon Kings’ depended on it. On the eve of Kavya's big announcement, Tallis kidnaps her seeking revenge for his two decades of exile inadvertently saving her life from her insane triplet brother. What starts out as a active of revenge soon turns into joining of two lonely souls as the trek from the Himalayan foothills to the Scottish Highlands in an attempt to end an all out war and the extinction of a proud race.
I really like Tallis. Since he made his appearance in Caged Warrior, I didn't know what to expect from him. As a Berserker, I was assuming this would be a violent, brooding character. Instead I found him to be engaging, comical and sexy as Hell. Kavya on the other hand comes off as somewhat reserved and aloof but she does have this tough side that pops up on occasion. Together they are great. The banter between them is witty and clever. The sex was sizzling hot and well detailed. As opposite as Tallis and Kavya are, these to are a perfect match.
There wasn't much back-story so if this book was to be read as a stand alone then that would completely work out. Since I have read the series from the beginning, I did have to mentally pull out what had previously happened. The beginning did drag a bit but I think it was because I was waiting for the excitement and action I had come to expect from this series. For me, this book really didn't take off until about a third of the way in. Then it got interesting. Not because of the sex but because the story really starts opening up. The pace picks up with more action, definitely more twist and turns until the climatic ending. Blood Warrior is not necessarily the best book in the Dragon King series but it definitely well worth the read.
I received this book from JeepDiva in exchange for my honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.

Shame On Me
By Sebella Blue
Tallis, a fierce Pendray warrior, from a clan made up of warlike berserkers, has become a pariah even among his family. Haunted in dreams by a beautiful goddess, she has instructed him to commit vile acts to unite the five clans of the Dragon Kings. Disgusted with himself, he has developed an overwhelming hatred for the female known only as the Sun. Determined to end his suffering, he has traveled the world to find and destroy her.
Kavya longs to end the civil war raging amongst her clan, the Indranan. A telepathic people, they are cursed to kill their siblings to absorb their powers. Pursued by her brother, Pashka, she is disgraced when he commits mass murder at a gathering to promote peace. To top it off, she is kidnapped by a mad man who claims she has taken over his dreams. Fleeing for her life, she learns a strength and depth of love that she never thought to possess.
I will admit that I started this series in the middle so I had a lot of catching up to do. Boy did it pay off. This book had every element I look for in a great book. Tallis was the epitome of an alpha male. Strong, loyal, and intelligent, he also had depth and personal insight. He was so damaged and longing for solace and peace, he just wanted to go home. I wanted to bundle him up and give him cookies. (Then jump his bones.) Kavya started out a little too hippieish for my taste. She made tremendous strides during her journey and really turned into quite the laudable heroine. The story in and of itself was full of action and the world was a wonderful mix of modern and old world elements. The Dragon Kings were a captivating blend of clans full of magic, startling differences, and a burgeoning commonality. While in Blood Warrior, the story is the star, it had enough sexual tension and actual hotness to keep even a perv like myself more than happy. Being a self confessed series slut, I deeply regret having just discovered Ms. Piper's Dragon King series. Don't repeat my mistake, read it now.
