Summary:
Rion had traveled to Earth with Lucan and Cael when they made their heroic departure from Pendragon. Upon arriving on Earth, the first thing he did was attempt to warn Earth's leaders of the danger that they were in. Nobody believed him, and since Rion's flashes of the future were rarely wrong, he knew that something horrible was going to happen, not only on Earth but on his own planet as well.

Marisa is Lucan's twin sister, gifted with the same psychic ability that Lucan has, Marisa selflessly gave up her job as a newspaper reporter to help manage the newly turned dragons of Earth. She feels serious sparks for Rion, but since he is her brothers friend she doesn't act on it. So when Rion starts turning up the heat on her, she isn't sure what's going to happen but is ready for the ride.

Rion receives a flash of the future, his home planet is in severe danger, and the only way anyone can communicate with the people on his planet would be through the powers Marisa has. He will stop at nothing to save his planet, even if it means breaking Marisa's heart.

Rion for me wasn't as good as Lucan but was still a very entertaining read. I think for me the biggest problem was how deceitful Rion was towards Marisa. I understand wanting to save your own planet, but when he kidnapped her and she just kept taking it, it broke my heart. As a couple though, Marisa and Rion worked well together. They are both stubborn and pigheaded, and entirely nuts about one another.

The best part is that while Rion is the second book in the Pendragon Legacy, one doesn't have to read the first book (Lucan) to understand what is going on.

I am eagerly awaiting the next installation in the Pendragon Legacy, Jordan is scheduled to be released February 23 2010, and I for one cannot wait to get my hands on it and find out what happens next.
