Katla is a Druid and for many many years lived in a valley filled with vines that would trap dragons. She finds out that a Star Person, Villette, manipulated her and finally breaks free of her. Merrill is an orange Dragon King and was held captive by Villette. Merrill and Katla both feel they need to prove themselves by defeating Villette. But while hunting her, a couple of more enemies start to pursue them. Merrill will do whatever it takes to stay with Katla.
These are such good books but are so hard to explain. Dragons. Strange entity. Forgiveness. Action. Steamy. Second chance for love.

* VOLUNTARILY READ AND REVIEWED FOR NETGALLEY *

I was honored to read this book (I absolutely love dragons) as an arc and I honestly enjoyed the story. This book has everything you look for in a fantasy novel.
I loved the characters and the depth of healing and emotional connection within this book. I will definitely be recommending it to anyone who is looking for their next adventure. I had such an amazing journey with this read and I will most definitely be checking out more reads by this author.

I received this as an ARC from Netgalley. Thank you so much!

This was such an entertaining read! Set against a historical backdrop, this book is perfect for people that enjoy possessive dragon males in an engaging story with emotional depth.

Couldn’t put this down once I started it and it lent itself as perfect escapism for my afternoon.

Pop on the kettle and get settled in for a world submerged with magic, mates and a whole lot of Scottish accents (if you have an inner monologue like myself it’s fabulous listening to the voices in your head as you read!). This book beautifully encapsulates Merrill’s and Katla’s past to be able to appreciate their journey throughout the pages of this book.

I was fortunate to receive Dragon Marked as an ARC which was such a pleasure to read - Donna balanced emotion with drama perfectly.

Love these dragon kings. This was Merrill and Katlas story! It was a good one, but then I haven’t read a bad one yet! Follow them as they set out to redeem themselves and maybe find love while they do!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

Dragon Market by Donna Grant is such a good story. I really enjoyed every second of this story. Such an amazing experience reading it!

This amazing story is Merrill and Katla's story. Katla was introduced in the Dragon Kings series in Dragon Born, which is another exceptional story in this series. Dragon Marked can be read as standalone, but to really comprehend the depth of Katla's backstory, I would highly recommend also reading Dragon Born. this love story between the King of Orange dragons and Katla, who is more than she originally seemed in Dragon Born, was beautiful, sad and joyous at the same time. Questions about "the entity" are answered and new ones arise. These little hints dropped in the story guaranteed I'll be reading the next book. Highly recommend this unique story!

The story:
A redemption journey ending in hea. I mean, can't get better!
The plot:
He was deceived by the enemy and feels he betrayed his kind, in pain, regretting his past decisions, and filled with rage.
She was led to believed dragons killed her family, and spent the last years of her life hunting them. Now that she knows the truth, feels gilty about the lifes she unfairly took.
Together, they embarc a travesy to find the real culprit of their sins and make her pay. Only they never expected to find a bigger threat and also fall in love in the process.

Let me begin telling you this book number 10th in a series. So there's A LOT-and I mean A LOT- of history in this world, which is probably reviewed in the previous books and you are not seeing. You can tell both mmc and fmc development goes a long way back, and it shows in the complexity of their feelings and relationships.
That being said, you can TOTALLY read this and understand the entirety of the story if you haven't read any of the previous books ( such as me), so kudos to Donna for it. You nailed it.

I loved the complexity of the world, the magic system, and how you get several races intertwined. It's really unique. Also loved the multiples pov's tho I prefer them to be identified as such. you learn who's talking on the first page of the character, but no name on the title.

🌶Spice lvl is open door, but there's not much along the story. You get THE scene, and it all goes done beautifully.

All in all, 4,5 stars out of 5 for me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

Definitely recommend if you love fantasy and romance stories ✨️

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Yet another hit by one of my favorite authors. I can't wait for the next book by her. Highly recommend her work to everyone.

This is a great read.. So much turmoil and pain. Katla thinks she has nothing to lose. Saving three children is the first chink in her armor. Meeting Merrill yet another. The "entity" is a shocking thing and it's war against the dragons makes sense in the end. I loved the characters and their connections in this story.

So embarrassingly when I initially picked this book I didn’t realize it was part of a series. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get into it because of that however that is not what I got at all. I was able to follow the story easily and loved the backdrop as well as the dragons of course. This is such a beautiful story I’m going to read the rest now. Would recommend for any avid fan of fantasy/Romantasy.

Merrill can’t seem to get a break: first Stonemore and Villette; then all sorts of self-doubts and anger issues. Meeting Katla seems to help but she has her own problems. In the midst of working to help each other (while simultaneously falling in love), they are suddenly attacked by several different evil beings and enemies. How they manage to save themselves and each other is the crux of this novel. However, I couldn’t help wondering if Merrill hadn’t already suffered enough before being subjected to the cruelty inflicted upon him in Dragon Marked. It is all a bit much.

This is definitely not a standalone novel; the back-story from previous books in this series is essential to better understanding what is going on. As always, Donna Grant ends the novel with an unexpected development and an Epilogue that hints at things to come. I’m looking forward to reading future novels in the world of the Dragon Kings.

This was such a good book! I loved every single moment of it. The cover is what hooked me at first and it definitely did not disappoint!

Rich and well developed fantasy world that see,s just at the tip of your fingers it is so real. Merrill finally gets his story, and no surprise that it is full of adventure, action, suspense, and dragons! Plus of course some very sizzling slow burn as he meets his mats. The invisible Entity blasts into the story, what the heck is it? And will it finally be defeated? Many tense and emotional moments, a must read!

Such a fun one, forbidden secrets, a shared enemy, and an impossible connection. I loved every part of this and can't wait for more.

Donna Grant's mesmerizing paranormal romance, "Dragon Marked", kept me hooked late into the night, eager to uncover what happens next.

The story brims with thrilling challenges and deeply emotional moments that will captivate both romantics and adventurers alike.

Mirrell, an empathetic and powerful Dragon King, and Kayla, a compassionate and beautiful Druid, are irresistibly drawn to each other from their very first encounter. With every turn of the page, their bond deepens as they help one another heal from past traumas.

Fans of the series will also appreciate the appearances of other Dragon Kings and their mates, whose stories were featured in earlier books. These characters play supportive roles that enrich the narrative of this exceptionally well-written tale.

Donna Grant masterfully concludes the story with a deeply satisfying happily ever after.

A special thank you to DL Grant LLC for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

A beautiful continuation of a story line, filled with found family, redemption and fated mates. I loved the opportunity afforded to both the main characters in their redemption arc, but wish it had come with a bit more of their self-acceptance of their redemption, however I know there is another book coming in the series in which the opportunity may present itself. Overall, I would have loved more overall development with Kalta's powers, I felt her finding her powers felt a bit flat and would have loved to see more of her blossoming powers throughout the story. The book has a singular open door spicy scene, but it is well done and making you wish for more. The story does end in a slight cliffhanger, but thankfully the next book come out in July. I would recommend this as a quick, intriguing read for the fantasy lover.

Wow, just Wow!
This book is the continuation of Donna Grant’s Dragon Kings series. Our featured dragon Is Merrill, whom we heard talked about in her earlier Dark Kings series. In this story we learn how much Merrill has taken on over the millenniums. But hiding inside he is becoming more and more angry, enough so that he has distanced himself from the other dragons and the Kings. Wandering on Zora, he chances to see a woman who he feels he must meet. The woman is Katia, who help the evil Villette in her quest to destroy all dragons. With this setting up an incredibly interesting story which also brings in other characters that have been featured in prior books.
Dragon Marked is an excellent book, but if you haven’t read at least the prior books in the Dragon Kings series, you may not understand or appreciate all that is happening. But…if the storyline sounds interesting, start reading because every book builds on the ones before. Donna Grant has created and entire Dark Universe encompassing Celtic Warriors, Druids, Fae, Reapers, and Dragons. For the most enjoyment start at the very beginning with her Warriors series. I cannot wait for the next book in any of her series!
I was given an ARC through NetGalley, and this is my honest opinion.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Nowhere does it say this is book 9 in a series!! 💀 HA! I’m dead! Welp, though this is part of series, I still kept on reading and it ended up being like a stand alone! So that was nice!
However, I feel like as a reader, I should have read the previous books just so I have a better visual of characters, plot, and world building. I think I would have appreciated the greatness behind it! 😊❤️
The world building was FLAWLESS nonetheless! It was easy to imagine, simple yet complex, and the author gives you a visual for returning readers or new!
I do have to say…if you were hoping for ROMANTIC romance…you came to the wrong place. This romance is on an emotional level that will pull at your heartstrings and make you feel everything! The possessive dragon is a plus! 😮‍💨🤌🏼😍 Not only for yourself but for the characters!
I do wish there was some comedy mixed in with some banter from these characters…? I felt like it felt rushed almost. It did FEEEEEL like an enemies to lovers story. Like maybe the authors heart was just trying to put closure on some characters or side story from the series…? But I wouldn’t know cuz this is the only book I read! 🤷‍♀️
Also, Merrill darling, you need to TAKE your own emotional advice that you give others.
But again, we are being told the emotions, I wasn’t seeing them act them out soooo.
