Books by V.J.O. Gardner

“Quest of the King (Dracona’s Rebirth) - As book one, this installment deals with honor, bravery, honesty, leadership and love. However, this book has a better rhythm, is quite faster without rushing into things. The scenes moves naturally and the essence of medieval times is present. There is some action, danger and romance involved.”

Reading...Dreaming

“Quest of the King (Dracona’s Rebirth) - While reading this I was reminded of the Boy Scout Law. A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. Many attributes that should be considered everybody’s law. I look forward to her next book.”

“Quest of the King (Dracona’s Rebirth) - Overall, a great fantasy book. A book that you could read as stand-alone because there are not many references about book one so you won't miss anything.”

Dracona’s Rebirth A medieval adventure of love, honor, and dragons.

“After reading Blood of Ancient Kings I had to read the next more by V.J.O. Gardner, and Dracona’s Rebirth was as good as the Blood of Ancient Kings if not better. It is a book that will be loved by all ages with a little romance for the lovers, some fighting for the others, and a lot of adventure. This book will keep you turning the page to find out what happens next.

As volcanoes surrounding their kingdom threaten to destroy it, the royal family must leave in search for the answer to an ancient riddle that foretells of the salvation of their kingdom.  As they journey through a neighboring kingdom, they are captured by the evil King Gustave. Princess Sonje and her father escape leaving Queen Elva behind. Knowing that King Gustave is in pursuit they must take refuge in a forbidden forest. As they rest in the forest they meet the mysterious Lord Dracona and he demands that she remains in his abandoned kingdom where he lives in solitude with dragons as his only companions. 

Princess Sonje discovers him to be kind, as she tries to keep her magical talents hidden from him. Eventually she finds that Lord Dracona too has carefully hidden secrets including a powerful magical sword that will serve only one man and a pair of dragons. As their lives become more intertwined and dependent upon each other, they are separated, each on their own quest.”

Great Love Story with Dragons

“The fantasy novel Dracona’s Rebirth has magic, dragons, and mind speaking between humans and animals. Bryant, bearer of the title Lord Dracona, is very lonely after his father’s death. He lives in an isolated castle with the dragons he has in his care. His mother, who lives in another village, encourages him to find a wife, but he does not want to bring a woman into his miserable, extended life. By chance, he meets Gwladys Sonje from Glynis when a snake bites her father. Bryant demands that she stay with him forever if he heals her father. The rest of the story is their love affair and his transformation from a lonesome dragon keeper to a strong king who leads two people. It is an enjoyable read, and I cannot wait to find out what will become of the dragon eggs and the blending of the Glynis and Merton people at Dracona.”
