About The Traitor:
Decades ago, rogue dragon shifter Rune Abaddon took a stand against the decaying, corrupt systems governing their people. He now uses his bad-ass reputation to protect the innocent as it all comes crashing down. But he’s pushed the limits one too many times. His hideout is destroyed, his few allies are scattered and hiding, and the Alliance has placed a dead-or-alive bounty on his head, making him the most wanted dragon in the western hemisphere. And then the most enticing woman he’s ever met barges into his mountain, demanding an audience. Hadyn Reece’s future was ripped away long ago. The man fated to be her mate was murdered alongside her parents before Hadyn was old enough to be turned, leaving her to be raised and trained by her dead mate’s parents in the dragon shifter world. Now, the Alliance has come for the only family she has left. It’s a good thing she was raised by dragons, because the only one who can help her save them is a traitor she’d be smart to fear. Especially when his dragon decides she’s theirs.Get Your Copy:

Exclusive Excerpt:
With zero sound—an impressive feat—he dropped to his three free feet, then slowly lowered her to the ground. Once she was upright and clear of him, Hadyn backed away, dragging her gear with her.
Then turned to catch his shift. She’d always loved watching her parents do this, finding the process fascinating. Shifters sort of shimmered in mirage-like waves as they changed from animal to human or vice versa. Everything they were in one form absorbed into the new form, clothes and all.
Magical.
The black dragon before her appeared to reduce in size, the massive spikes around his head and down his back sort of folding back into his body, wings becoming arms, and scales turned to bronze, burnished skin. Finally, a man stood before her, shadowed in the unlit room of the cave, darkness already finding its way in here where sunlight couldn’t reach as easily. Everything she could make out was in shades of black, like a bad guy in an old western movie, black hair, black eyes, black combat pants, and a long-sleeved, collarless shirt. Arms loose at his sides.
Deceptively so, she sensed.
No clan mark. All dragons sported two tattoos, which appeared at birth. The one on the back of the neck was the symbol of a dragon’s family. The one on the back of the hand, between the thumb and forefinger, was the mark of the house of their king, visible proof of allegiance and belonging to their clan. To be missing his marked him as a rogue dragon.
Rogues were considered dangerous and subversive by the leaders of dragon shifters. In fact, even Chaghan and Qara were wary of others. Most who hadn’t been hunted down and killed were psychopaths, according to them. Creatures to be avoided as much as the shifters still loyal to the clans.
Hadyn was looking at maybe the most legendary of all rogues. Why did her parents trust him?
My Review
The Traitor by Abigail Owen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love, love, love Hadyn and Rune. I loved their chemistry. There is great action/adventure, as always, as they travel and encounter dangerous situations. They also had great banter that had me laughing out loud.
Oh, and close to the end, one scene had me on the verge of losing it. Hadyn asks Rune for something gut-wrenching and I had to read it over twice to make sure I was reading correctly.
When Hadyn's adopted dragon parents are taken, she travels all the way to South America looking for the one man/dragon her father said could help her. But after the Alliance attacked his secluded hideaway, Rune is wary of the human.
Having been raised around dragons her whole life Hadyn is pretty at ease around him and doesn't easily freak out when they have to quickly flee his hideaway. And of course, the more time he spends with her, his attraction grows and he'd like to make her his.
