This story is Book One of the Dragon Court series. Priestess Ninkha and Lord Enki are married in Nibiru and then immediately rushed to a distant planet on a mission of discovery. With both being of royal families and the purest longevity, they are sent to this planet for one sole reason. The Annunaki race will soon whither on Nibiru due to lack of resources and minerals needed to sustain their race; their urgency to find workers that can tolerate the atmosphere and conditions of the new planet must be found. Every Annunaki is bonded with a dragon of the opposite sex when they are born, so Priestess Ninkha and Lord Enki travel to this planet with their bonded dragons in hopes to be the savors of the Annunaki people. When they arrive, they begin their research immediately…one discovery leading to another. Before they realize the potential damage that they have caused, they have created things that have never been imagined. Could their new creations lead to unwanted warfare or will they succeed in discovering their original desires of the Annunaki people?
My favorite character is the Serpent Priestess Ninkha. She is characterized as a strong-willed, courageous and desired woman who shows the gifts of her people with utmost respect. Her ability to move worlds with her actions is uncanny and ultimately captivated my attention. My least favorite character is Lord Enlil. While he was never provided a fair chance like his brother, the evil that spreads through his body, mind and soul can not be unnoticed. Some of his actions broke my heart and made me despise his character. The realization that this author was able to draw this much emotion from me, made me respect the story as the chapters passed.
I recommend this story to those who enjoy Science-Fiction and Fantasy novels. There are definitely several of creative and original ideas that are mentioned. The whole world along with the descriptions entailed by the author is utterly amazing! The names are a little too much to bear at first, but the story does pick up which allows the reader to follow without incomprehension. I rate this book with five stars because it is very well-written, interesting, highly-creative, and original. I can’t wait to read the next in the series called The Doom of Undal.
