While one would think that stories of man-eating, fire-breathing, gold-hoarding reptiles would be rife with romantic subplots, one would be wrong. Dealing with the dragon in a fantasy tale tends to be top priority, with trivial things like love taking a backseat to the action. It’s hard to focus on your relationship when a flying fire dinosaur with a gold bullion bank account is threatening to turn the kingdom to cinders. Nevertheless, like tree growing in the ashes of a forest fire, sometimes love persists. These are the 10 best dragon fantasy books with romance.
The Priory of the Orange Tree
(Bloomsbury Publishing)The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is the story of a dragon so downright horrible that no one bothered to name it – The Nameless One is fabled to return, and it will bring untold destruction upon the land. The last time this guy reared its ugly head, romance died utterly, simply because there weren’t enough people left alive to fall in love. Now that the dragon is gearing up to awaken from its long slumber, Queen Sabran of the western kingdom of Inys has to figure out how to stop the mood-killer. Luckily, Sabran has a handmaiden who secretly belongs to an ancient sect of mages dedicated to protecting the world from the beast’s return. As the novel progresses, Sabran’s handmaiden begins harboring more than just magical secrets from her Queen, but a romantic secret as well. Slow burn sapphic love story about women who conquer a lizard king? I’m burning for it myself.
