Torsere Book One
Over two hundred years ago, when dragons were hunted for their blood, the King of Torsere offered them sanctuary. In return, the dragons bestowed a magical gift on the King’s people, allowing those born with the mark to become dragon riders and forge a mental connection between dragon and rider.
King Ryneq of Torsere is undeniably attracted to Nykin, a young dragon rider. Ryneq’s sister, Cerylea, encourages him to pursue the relationship. But with the stresses of ruling Torsere, a romantic attachment is low on Ryneq’s list of priorities. Nykin admires the king from afar, but wants more than to warm his bed for a night or two.
Torsere remains under threat from the lowland armies of Rodeth and Athisi. To protect their kingdom, Ryneq and Cerylea intend to form an alliance with the elves through Cerylea’s marriage to elf prince Morkryn. On the road to the wedding, the lowland army attacks the party. Cerylea escapes, but Ryneq is captured and taken to the impenetrable Risvery Castle. In the aftermath, Nykin volunteers for a perilous mission, endangering the lives of him and his dragon. The odds are against him, but Nykin will risk everything for his duty and his king.

(Originally reviewed for Love Bytes Same Sex Book Reviews) 4.5 out of 5.0 starsWow, if the rest of the series is as good as this first book, I’ll be flying through it!
Nykin is a twenty-two year old dragon rider in the land of Torsere. Dragon riders are born with a special mark, and at age twenty-one, they are offered a chance to become real dragon riders and develop a mental connection with a dragon.
Ryneq is the King of Torsere. He first notices Nykin when Nykin comes to his private quarters to get him for a meeting. Ryneq is naked and in the bath tub when Nykin arrives and Ryneq decides to see how red he can make the man when he starts to blush and has trouble keeping his eyes off the King’s naked self. But there is a meeting to get to, so nothing can happen.
So why does Ryneq feel so jealous when the elves arrive to arrange the wedding details for Cerylea, Ryneq’s sister, to the Prince of the Elves? Well, two of the elves are touching Nykin’s dragon mark now aren’t they? But why does it bother Ryneq? He hardly knows him. (I got a little confused on how the author portrayed how instantly Ryneq falls in love and gets possessive of Nykin.)
When Ryneq is captured by enemies from two neighboring lands, all hope is given up by most of the people in command. But a simple dragon rider named Nykin might just hold the key to figuring out how to rescue the King.
This book was well written, with great editing and a well-developed world view and well developed characters. Some of the background characters were a little flat, but I didn’t think the story suffered for it.
I recommend this first book, and I’m off to start the second!

Capture Torsere Book 1 edition by Annabelle Jacobs Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The author tells an exciting tale of kings and elves and dragon riders. I like that the characterizations create two different men in the king (Ryneq) and rider (Nykin) and that both are strong men. The fantasy world genre is ambitious, and the world building here is not as detailed, but as a first book in a series that is not unexpected.
But this story has a lot of positives romance, adventure, great action scenes, and yes, dragons. Fimor is a wonderful character as Nykin's dragon.
It is an enjoyable story!
An attraction forms between King Ryneq and his dragon rider, Nykin. Though Ryneq thinks the dragon rider is beautiful, he can’t imagine having a fling with him, and he won’t commit to anything more. King Ryneq also fears that a union between the two would put Nykin in danger since their enemies might try to hurt Nykin in order to get to him. After spending some time at the castle, they all set out for a wedding and King Ryneq is captured by their enemy. Since Nykin has feelings for the king, he volunteers to participate in a deception that will result in Nykin being tortured and possibly killed. However, when Nykin is captured, he tells the enemy that he’s the king’s lover. The two are thrown together in their attempt to escape, and eventually their ruse becomes reality.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a proper dragon fantasy, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Despite having a YA flavor, I liked that this novel also had some romance and sexiness sprinkled in. I was entertained by the first part of the book, but began losing interest when the king expressed that he had no desire to pursue a relationship with Nykin. After that point, Nykin’s continued attraction to the king seemed one-sided, and I was thinking that Ryneq was no good for Nykin since he deserved a lover that cared about him. When Ryneq and Nykin finally come together, I still wasn’t convinced. Even though Ryneq admits having feelings for Nykin, he’s still willing to let Nykin die if it means saving his sister. Despite the lukewarm romance, I enjoyed the world that the author creates. Since I’ve read other books by Annabelle Jacobs that I really loved, I’ll certainly continue reading her work.

As the King of Torsere, Ryneq can have anyone he wanted but not for more than a night or two. He has responsibilities towards his people and no where in that includes having a lover, even if he does harbor some intense feelings for a certain dragon rider because nothing could ever come of it. Nykin is one of the King’s elite dragon riders that has a special bond with the dragon, Fimor, but his desire to have Ryneq is almost as strong. When the time comes for Ryneq to escort his sister safely to the city of Alel, he’s expecting an ambush but with his dragons, he hopes he can still get his sister to her betrothed. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned when his enemies end up injuring and kidnapping Ryneq during the ambush. Desperate to rescue his King, Nykin volunteers to breach the fortress Ryneq’s being held at even if it means sacrifice himself to save the man he’s starting to love.
I LOVED this book. It hit more than just a few of my buttons. It’s a fantasy, there’s dragons, there’s royalty, there’s kidnapping, there’s not a lot of sex (sorry, guys!) and most of all, there’s sexual tension (enough for me at least P). The world pulled me in from the beginning and I loved being able to explore the dragons and their bonds with their riders. I also loved that the world had human enemies and elven allies because it made for some interesting discoveries all around.
The characters are a real treat, though. Nykin is the young brash dragon rider, who’s quick to offer his help without really thinking about how it’ll affect others (like his dragon). Ryneq is calmer, more serious but he’s drawn to Nykin and his constant blushing. It’s adorable, to be honest. One thing that I loved was Ryneq’s jealousy when a few elves were flirting with Nykin. While Nykin and Ryneq weren’t lovers, the attraction between them is obvious to everyone (except each other) so Ryneq’s reactions to others’ attentions on Nykin were amusing to say the least. When they finally get together, it was worth the wait. I just wished we were able to see more of them getting to know each other passed what was on the surface, so to speak.
While I loved this story, I did feel like at the end, we missed out on a few more scenes and instead were just told about them. For example, when Nykin woke up and Ryneq tells him how much he’s had to do at the castle, the discussion about appointing Nykin King’s Consort, etc. I would have liked to see some of that happening.
In the end, I really enjoyed this story. It’s intense at times and has some good tension between Nykin and Ryneq, especially with Ryneq’s jealousy. I also loved that it had some good suspense and action not to mention the world was very intriguing. I can’t wait to read the sequel, Union, because I’m really looking forward to exploring more of the bond between Ryneq and Nykin.
