Karen Tomlinson’s Goddess and the Guardians series follows a woman whose fate intertwines with dragons and ancient magic. A Bond of Venom and Magic (2016) introduces the heroine, and the story continues through A Bond Of Blood and Fire (2017), A Bond of Sovereigns and Souls (2018), A Bond of Swords and Sacrifice (2018), and A Bond of Destiny and Dragons (2018).
The series blends epic fantasy with romance, giving equal weight to the magical conflicts and the relationships between characters. Each book’s title references a “bond,” and that concept runs through the story as the heroine forms connections with dragons and other supernatural beings.
Three of the five books came out in 2018, so readers who start the series will find most of it available without long waits between entries. Tomlinson builds a detailed world with its own mythology, and the dragon-bonding element gives the series a distinctive identity within fantasy romance.
