In a time of peace, the dragon race lives harmoniously with the different races of people. But not all dragons are content with their race way of life. Some of them want to rule the world with the other races before them. The dragon rulers, however, are ignorant of the danger signs, thinking that the peace is forever and that the troublesome dragons are few in numbers and can be controlled under their watch. Grendar, an emerald dragon from the architect class, has witnessed the very first sign of strong rebellion and cruelty that his fellow dragons inflict on people. He takes a great risk to save the race of people and his own kind.

"The Dragon Empire" is another great fantasy novel with dragon theme written by Heather McCorkle. First chapter is exciting, filled with suspense as Grendar, the young emerald dragon, is chased by Sidean and his brothers, the ultimate bullies in the forms of black chromatic dragons. Grendar immediately became my favorite dragon and other readers will definitely root for him as well, but he is the unlikely hero. His romance with his dragon lady, the beautiful skydancer Ashanti, is sweet. There were times when I forgot that they were dragons, not people. This book is very well-written, the dialogues are sharp and I like the way McCorkle categorized the dragons to certain type and classes – it made the story more authentic, differentiating it from other dragon-themed novels. A must read for fantasy fans!
