Prince
Ryuu hates his father, Emperor Midian. When he’s forced to buy a slave, he
defiantly chooses Drakon instead of a woman. Because he’s determined to
overthrow his father’s empire, he can’t afford to show vulnerability, but
Drakon is more compelling than he’d anticipated. For an Arethuza warrior,
affection is a weakness that can lead to death.
Drakon isn’t really a slave—he’s a black dragon, considered cursed by everyone. Despite his people’s distrust, he will do anything to keep them safe, even submit to an Arethuza prince. He never expected to find love, and that complication could ruin his plans to sabotage the emperor’s war campaign. Though Ryuu is his fated mate, their fledgling bond is a secret too dangerous for Drakon to reveal.
Will their duty tear them apart? Can honor prevail in a war that might be too violent for even the strongest dragon warrior?

Review
I really enjoyed reading Captive Fire by Erin M. Leaf.
The characters were vibrant and the story very different from any dragon
shifter story I have read so far. I like
how this is a well rounded story and feels very finished. It could even be a series there are
characters that could be spun off too.
Prince Ryuu is living under the
thumb of his vicious and horrible father. His father demands he take a
slave. Ryuu does even though he deplores
slavery. It is not the slave his father
wanted for him. He picks a man. One who is off in the corner but calls to his
soul. Ryuu, is kind hearted. He has a
clear set of morals despite his father and he is brave. He risks his life many
times in this story for what he believes in.
Drakon might look like a slave but he is anything
but one. He needs the prince to choose
him so he can complete his mission. But
once he gets to know the prince and what he is like, maybe joining together is
the way to go and defeat the king once and for all. I liked his sense of honor. He knows what he
must do to save his people and he suffers for it gladly to save them. He has
honor, and a kind heart. He recognizes the fact Ryuu needs him as much as he
needs Ryuu.
Over all this book is really well done. I loved the whole politics of the planet. I
liked getting to know Drakon and his people too. I would love to know more
about them all in the future. This is one story I really couldn’t stop reading
over and over again.
