Summary
As a daughter of the Dragon Court， Wren knows three truths: never show weakness， pay the tithe， and never trust the elves。
When the enemy strikes on the eve of her wedding， Wren has no choice but to fight。 Captured， she's dragged before the elvish king and given two choices。
Death or marriage。
She submits， biding her time as she plots and spies， determined to strike at the heart of the elvish royalty and take back her family's throne once more。 But the more time she spends with her dangerous and achingly handsome husband， she finds herself wavering。
Only the strong survive the hash moors of the Dragon Isles， and she can't afford to question her loyalties， leaving only one final choice。
Strike hard and fast。 Never waver。 It's his heart or hers。
A Court of Dragons is the first book in a new fantasy romance series， inspired by the tales of Beauty and the Beast with Reylo viking vibes。 It's perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash， A Deal with The Elf King， and The Bridge Kingdom。 If you're looking for enemies to lovers with a delicious slow burn romance， scroll up and read now！

A fantasy romance with themes of enemies to lovers， bitter hatreds and forced marriages， to name but a few。 While the characters need some time to flesh out， this action packed story is off to a good start for a new series。 Political intrigues， rules to live by and truths not necessary true not only give the twist that is needed to set up the next one in the series， but start the question of why。

What a ride！ Frost Kay， as per usual， does an amazing job of roping you into her new fantasy world full of dragons， grey characters， a strong heroine， emotional roller coasters and unexpected twists。 Arrik is no knight in shining armor but by the end he'll make you swoon a little。 Wren is strong， stubborn and smart and she's met her match in Arrik。 Now the chase is on and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what new surprise will get me next。 What a ride！ Frost Kay， as per usual， does an amazing job of roping you into her new fantasy world full of dragons， grey characters， a strong heroine， emotional roller coasters and unexpected twists。 Arrik is no knight in shining armor but by the end he'll make you swoon a little。 Wren is strong， stubborn and smart and she's met her match in Arrik。 Now the chase is on and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what new surprise will get me next。 。。。more

Court of Dragons was an enchanting read！Wren is a strong， fierce and feisty FMC。 She has been through so much and lost so much and when faced with a choice of marriage to her enemy or death， she chooses marriage。 This is an incredible story with a few twists and turns and I devoured the book in one day。 This is great for people who like fantasy romance with enemies to lovers， dragons and elves。 I look forward to reading the next book！

Let me just say that Frost Kay has quickly become one of my go to authors。 I started reading her books when the Twisted Kingdoms series started and have not been disappointed！ So I am super excited about the Dragon Isle Wars。 So Wren， love her， and honestly when I started reading I was not so sure。 She is living her best life （I mean we all want to） and for a moment I was like huh where are we going？ Well not that destination， her entire plans and life she thought she would have get completely u Let me just say that Frost Kay has quickly become one of my go to authors。 I started reading her books when the Twisted Kingdoms series started and have not been disappointed！ So I am super excited about the Dragon Isle Wars。 So Wren， love her， and honestly when I started reading I was not so sure。 She is living her best life （I mean we all want to） and for a moment I was like huh where are we going？ Well not that destination， her entire plans and life she thought she would have get completely upended。 This story takes right off and doesn't really stop until the end when you have too。 I have to say I really enjoyed Wren's journey it was original and different from previous reads。 Arrik， was tough for me to like at first。 Honestly I kind of hated him。 But as you journey with him through his story you can begin to empathize with him。 He comes from a cruel place， he is clearly being used as a weapon and seems to have little control over his own life。 I am very interested to see how this will work out in the end。 I am sure Frost will get us there and that the ride will totally be worth it！ Also dragons！ Cant wait to have more dragons！ Also those twists， Frost is so good at giving us those twists that we don't expect and I love it。 I mean of course I want to know what happens next and cannot wait for the rest of the series but it takes。 a lot to surprise me and she always seems to do it so well！Happy reading！ 。。。more

I don't normally like fantasy that has much in the way of politics as a plot driver， but I swear Frost Kay somehow always makes it so juicy in a truly enjoyable way。 This story was fast paced， lots of action， a swoon worthy love interest and had a strong female lead。 I also appreciated the neurodivergent representation in this。 I seriously can't wait for book 2！ I don't normally like fantasy that has much in the way of politics as a plot driver， but I swear Frost Kay somehow always makes it so juicy in a truly enjoyable way。 This story was fast paced， lots of action， a swoon worthy love interest and had a strong female lead。 I also appreciated the neurodivergent representation in this。 I seriously can't wait for book 2！ 。。。more

Court of Dragons has everything I love in a fantasy romance book， enemies to lovers， forced marriage， and elves。 Frost Kay is not joking around when it comes to how action-packed and fast-paced this book is。 Court of Dragons feels a bit more like a dark fantasy book as it deals with some darker themes， betrayals， political intrigue， and of course a dash of romance。 I do wish there had been a bit more character and world development in the book。 I think that the book is so action-packed and fille Court of Dragons has everything I love in a fantasy romance book， enemies to lovers， forced marriage， and elves。 Frost Kay is not joking around when it comes to how action-packed and fast-paced this book is。 Court of Dragons feels a bit more like a dark fantasy book as it deals with some darker themes， betrayals， political intrigue， and of course a dash of romance。 I do wish there had been a bit more character and world development in the book。 I think that the book is so action-packed and filled with political intrigue that the characters and world did not have a chance to truly develop。 Arrik is definitely a bit more developed than Wren as readers seem to get more insight into his character。 Lovers of ruthless， morally grey， Kylo Ren-type characters will quickly fall in love with him。 Wren is fierce， loyal， and not afraid to fight anyone who threatens her world。 Their relationship is off to a bit of a rocky start and I am excited for their story to progress as there is definite chemistry。 If you have read any book by Frost Kay， then you know she loves to leave readers with a cliffhanger ending that always throws a wild twist at you that leaves your mind reeling。 I cannot wait for the next book in this series。 Overall， Court of Dragons is a great start to a series that has the potential to be epic。 。。。more

Arranged marriages are intriguing to me。 They happen for many reasons， but this particular one had a twist I didn’t see coming。 I love Wren and her fearlessness… she is up against a strong presence with Arrik。 I cannot wait to see where Frost takes us on this journey。 It is exciting to be sure。

I think Frost Kay is a completely underrated author。 There is honestly not one book I have read by her that I did not love。 Court of Dragons is not an exception。 Frost isn't a stranger to writing gut wrenching scenes however this is the first book I have read where the first 30% tosses you right into the deep end。 My reaction the entire book varied from shocked to heartbroken to quite possibly having a little faith in Wrens life。 This book is great for people who like the arranged marriage trope I think Frost Kay is a completely underrated author。 There is honestly not one book I have read by her that I did not love。 Court of Dragons is not an exception。 Frost isn't a stranger to writing gut wrenching scenes however this is the first book I have read where the first 30% tosses you right into the deep end。 My reaction the entire book varied from shocked to heartbroken to quite possibly having a little faith in Wrens life。 This book is great for people who like the arranged marriage trope and enemies to lovers。 I don't want to give anything away however I will say that in this first book the romance is not a big part （if any） at all， but its 100% worth the read because you can tell something is coming and the way that the two MCs thoughts go makes you think what would happen if they could just open up and talk to each other。 They will be a powerhouse。 I know there is a ton of world building and character building in this book so I can not wait for the next one to come out because I think there is A LOT more to this story。 Like A LOT A LOT。 I have some suspicions。ANYWAYS 100% recommend this book and any other book Frost has written especially the Aermian Feuds books！Anyways 。。。more

Just as the book has one superb cover， it has one intriguing plot too and I was glued from the very first page。 It’s well written and moves flawlessly with twists and turns。 I love the main characters Wren & Arrik， the banter between them is enjoyable。 All the snarky comments are excellent in their own way。The story starts with a heartfelt conversation between a mother and a daughter。 I’m such a big fan of DRAGONS that when they are introduced I go all overboard in the story。 The visualization o Just as the book has one superb cover， it has one intriguing plot too and I was glued from the very first page。 It’s well written and moves flawlessly with twists and turns。 I love the main characters Wren & Arrik， the banter between them is enjoyable。 All the snarky comments are excellent in their own way。The story starts with a heartfelt conversation between a mother and a daughter。 I’m such a big fan of DRAGONS that when they are introduced I go all overboard in the story。 The visualization of the plot is perfectly explained which makes it comfortable to read。 Wren is so strong-willed and her character develops beautifully。 She suffers so much loss when her small kingdom is attacked by elf’s but she has to show all the strength she can muster up to take charge and do what was needed at that time。 Inspite of all the negativity I liked Arrik a lot， his character is so much more than just an elf prince who attacked Wren’s kingdom and was the reason behind all the darkness。 His character is all the brains and swoon-worthy physique。 There is an arranged marriage plot too， which you’ll get to know when you’ll read the book。 It’s a worthy read and my fav part of the story is when Wren & Arrik meet for the first time。 Frost Kay wrote so well and the story is woven from a single thread。 I’m already thinking about what can happen next and excited for the second book， whenever we get that。 。。。more
