My sword clashes with that of the first skeleton, overpowering it and sending it flying to the side. I quickly follow that up by slamming the hilt of my weapon against the side of its skull, smashing it against the wall and causing the rest of its body to crumble.

This review is by Suzanne Irving on Goodreads!

I was worried as the series progressed that people might lose interest as there were fewer sex scenes than the first 2 books, but I'm happy to say that people don't seem to mind! And of course, I still inject as much kinky and sexy fun as I can!
A f-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons." The review was written by Suzanne Irving on Goodreads and reads: "This series just keeps getting bigger and better and there is much more focus on the adventures and less on the “relations” that they have, although there is a kink club in the town (of course there is!). I do think it’s the first club like that that I have seen in a fantasy book. Ashen regularly includes bdsm in his books and I think he actually does a good job of working it into the stories."

Everyone is taking the opportunity to stretch their limbs before we get back on the road. Even Sona stretches out on the grass, enjoying the warm sun. My own waterskins are filled, and I hop back into the back of the cart to wait for the others. Then someone screams.

A five star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons" written on Goodreads by la review bleu. The review reads: "Every book of this series is a 5 star read for me. I can't say it enough. It's definitely one of the best fantasy mm books out there!!! The character development is amazing, the plot and world-building chefs kiss! I loved, loved, loved this book. It focuses more on surviving, action, and fighting - I mean there are Dragons, and an undead army, which I absolutely loved! ... Khazak and David are just perfect."

“So that’s the guy you’ve all been chasing?” Onas asks about Redwish. “Small world.”

“Not small enough,” I grumble. “As much of a shock as it is, I’m not surprised someone like him would be connected to—”

Before I can say more, the red dome above us suddenly flickers out of existence.

A five star review for the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic Ashen, written by L H on Goodreads. The review reads: "I have been reading along with David and Khazak for several books and stories and find myself continuing to enjoy their journey. There is action and adventure and steam as always and the author is skillful at witing about an interesting collection of familiar and new characters.

Ashen, showing an expanded image fo the book's cover and featuring the following text: "Khazak and David have been together for three months now, and seemingly nothing can keep them apart. Now that they've finally reached Manamequohi, they can start to find the answers they seek. Or at least that was the plan. Maname is a big city, filled with all sorts of magic—from its people to the items for sale. In other words, a tantalizing target for a mysterious necromancer. Separated by their circumstances, David and Khazak must fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance."

I look behind me as I row, trying to find lights on the coast that will point me toward Lorana. Up ahead, a glowing green line sits on the surface of the water—the border of the city's security dome. As my boat passes through it, I’m bathed in the dome’s green glow, normally invisible on the inside.

“Over there!” I point ahead with a shout, already running toward someone in trouble.

I spot a man being backed into a wall by two assailants, one of them menacingly swinging a rope lasso above their head.
