Oriana Oakleigh and the Dragon Danes by W.R. Cooper is the second book of the series and Oriana is back. Alas, her home, beloved Oakleigh Manor, is just not right. However, she will not stop her quest to save the faerie world before it is to late by saving its Queen. As if having to save a Queen and a people were not enough, Oriana is being hunted by the Dragon Danes; they want her and her ivory basket. She will not let them win, however, because she has friends and a purpose to fulfill - the last instruction of Lord Whitethorn.
I have not read book one so I started with this one and WOW what a fast moving, very full plot. There are many elements and lands and myths blended into one with this book and I loved every moment of it. You have intrigue and danger and Oriana is my kind of gal. No matter what she has thrown at her, she is the kind of person who does not give up; she still plugs on as she wants to fulfill her quest. Eye on the prize is something I very much understand and enjoy. The flow of the book is good and the twists come in the right spots for me. I truly do enjoy the writing style that W.R. Cooper brings to the stage. I am going to be going back and reading the first book (although this can stand on its own) so I get the full experience. I would recommend this one for a good read.
