They say all good things must end. Such was the case with the Treasures of Paragon. The Last Dragon by Genevieve Jack was the ninth and final audiobook narrated by Holly Adams. The series ended on a high note with a swoon-worthy romance, and a touch of suspense.

Don’t miss the final installment in the Treasure of Paragon Series!

He’s a dead man walking.
After three hundred years, Marius must face a world that has moved on without him. Haunted by the horrors he endured and desperate for distraction, he finds relief in a dragon named Harlow, the alluring daughter of a washed up Paragonian aristocrat. With her help, he makes his return to the fighting pits. Only without his former royal status, victory is hardly guaranteed.

She’s flirting with danger.
Life as Harlow knew it is over. Her family was lucky to escape execution for their former support of Empress Eleanor. Now, she’s just thankful to be alive and that her keen talent for wagering on the Pits has proven a means to keep her family afloat.

Together, they’ll battle demons known and unknown.
When Harlow’s father shares his plan to mate her off to a ruthless business tycoon to catapult their family back into Paragonian high society, she fears only a huge financial windfall will save her from a harrowing future. She’s placing her bets on Marius, but will the former heir apparent live up to his glory days? And will either of them survive the battles waged outside the arena?

After three hundred years, Marius has returned from the realm of the dead. It isn’t easy returning. His body is changed, and he feels weak. The nightmares aren’t helping either. The only thing that brings him relief is training. His brother spars with him and each day he runs farther through the village to towards the mountains. It is on such a run that he meets Harlow, the daughter of a washed up Paragonian aristocrat. Like Marius, she is a dragon. She spends her days betting in the fighting pits to feed her parents, who seem to squander whatever she brings home.

She remembers Marius in the fighting pits. He is surprised she is unwed. The two strike up a friendship and she trains him. I love the tale that unfolded as we watched their romance develop. He is so broken and she never expected to find a mate.

Of course, we get updates on Paragon and the other siblings, making this a fitting end to the series. Holly Adams has narrated the series and does a tremendous job of giving voice to each of these characters. All have unique personalities and it shows through her tone and pitch. I highly recommend listening.

Perfect for fans of paranormal romance, dragons, suspense and standalone romances with an engaging series arc.

Holly Adams does a lovely job narrating this series from her male voices to the strong females.

While this wraps up the series, Jack has given us one more book about Princess Charlotte. It released in March 2023 and is not yet on audio.
