The world has become a strange place. After a life on the run, Clay Green is rescued by a crazy old lady with a shotgun and an even crazier story about monsters, goddesses, and a secret brotherhood.

As if that’s not enough to contend with, Clay can’t keep his hands off the man trying to rebuild the plantation house he’s temporarily living in.

Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

A war is brewing. As the crown prince of Erya, it’s only natural that Caelan is sent on a secret diplomatic mission to support one of the kingdom’s allies. With his advisor, his bodyguard, and his best friend as traveling companions, what could go wrong? Everything. Everything goes wrong. Now they are on the run, dodging assassins, setting secret meetings, and even making deals with a sleeping god. So this is probably a really bad time to cave to feelings he’s been fighting for his best friend.

“You are the savior of mankind” are the last words I ever expected to hear while nibbling on fries. The thing is, I’m not mankind saving material. I don’t even have magic (and just found out it exists). I’m the most boring, normal(ish) human ever. Suddenly, I’m being tossed right into the middle of a fight that started years before I was even born, and then I get partnered up with Alastair, a quirky magical Guardian. He is rather attractive and sweet when he’s not into the whole “woe is me, I can’t let myself fall in love with you” nonsense.

World War III broke out 130 years ago when humans found out that magi and shifters were real. Humans have been imprisoning and enslaving the two species since. But now humans need their help protecting the world from the strange monsters they let cross the veil between realms. All three species have been at odds for more than a century, but can Madeo—a mage—and Cosmo—a lion shifter—put aside their differences to work together, and maybe even find comfort in each other’s arms?

My whole life, I’ve been taught to despise shifters. So when I’m hired to track two escaped convicts, I’m suddenly thrust into the world I hate - or thought I did. Yet I’m inexplicably drawn to the alpha of the pack, whose land the convicts may be hiding on. He’s different than any shifter I've ever met - laidback and quick to laugh, caring, and protective. As secrets are revealed, I start to wonder if everything I’ve been raised to believe was a lie, though it may not matter, because it seems like someone wants us dead.

Publisher's Summary
Cameron wants to make one thing clear: He didn't come into the festival to find a dragon mate.
Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn’t his, Germany seems like the best place for Cameron find himself. So how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan?
He blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, king of the Fire Dragons: his fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right? It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he’s landed in, he realizes that perhaps this is where he’s meant to be - magic, mates, kidnapping, and all.
Turns out Germany isn't an escape...it's his awakening.

Bad habit of cutting away at important scenes...
it was written okay and I adore Joel Leslie, so I made it through to the end - but the author had a bad habit of switching scenes mid chapter and cutting away to a new scene right as the interesting things were about to happen. The love interests go drinking together - it happened but isn't in the book. They both like DND and gaming - but they never actually do either in the book apart or even separate - it's just referenced. The clan gets a letter from another dragon clan - it's apparently just to set up a phone call? Because people send letters to ask someone to call them all the time...
Also - Joel's "Korean" accent for the grandmother was so painful I nearly put the book down a dozen times. It was the worst faked accent I have ever listened to ever - to the point I'm leary of continuing the series because it was that painful.

Fire dragon meets mage and sparks fly!
I sometimes have a book on my shelf that is outside of my preferred genre that I have never had time to read. Joel Leslie (one of my most beloved narrators) finished his audio version of ORIGIN, which has been on my TBR list/shelf for a while now, and I just couldn't wait any more. WOWOWOWOWOWOW! I love the story - filled with words that paint vivid pictures in the mind. The characters are unique and interesting, the action is pretty decent - not high voltage intense action, but a few very edge of your seat-what happens next-type of scenes. A male unknown-until-now mage meets the king of the fire dragons... and although it's not an insta-love type of book where "BAM! True Love" happens, sparks do fly. The story has a depth or richness to it that includes a quite interesting world where dragons are the power to the mages and the bond is special. If the rest of the books in the series are like this one, I will buy them all! Joel Leslie brings the characters to life with his accents and seamlessly narrating and then speaking as one character or another. He has excellent timing and emotional control over the narration and that helps the listener really engage with the characters and the story.

Awesome series
Ive read all the books and was super excited to hear that the audio was coming out. It's an interesting take on dragons and mages and had a little bit of everything in it.
I was concerned that I didn't know the narrator until I realized that Joel Leslie and Joel Fromkin are the same person. Joel is always a fabulous narrator and he does this well too. Especially considering the amount of different accents there are. English, British, German and Asian. Add in the amount of characters there are and it's a lot of voices and accents, but I could tell who each was easily.

Mages and Dragons
When Cameron decided to backpack through Europe, he never expected to find that Dragons still existed in Germany. Him a mage? No way. Mates? Uhm no. Not possible....is it?
These two authors rank among my favorite and are automatic must buys when it comes to their books. So combining their genius with magic and Dragons and evil bad guys and of course I have to listen to it. Add Joel Leslie's characterizations and duh! He adds so much to an already terrific tale. LOVED IT! Magic, fated mates, found families, snark and mischief combine to create the fabulous clan of Dragons living in Germany. Highly recommend!

Oh, this is a GOOD book!
You know it’s a good book when you go back to re-listen to some parts before it’s even finished. I could really feel the chemistry between Cameron and Alric! I loved how their relationship slowly developed, and Cameron’s pushiness managed to be both endearing and sometimes funny. I will absolutely be reading the rest of this series as soon as possible!

Dragons and their Human Mages Magic are gone
The Dragon Wars decimated the Clans wiping out thousands of dragons and their powerful mages.Dragons can only reproduce with the help of their mages, so many of which were killed in the war that the small number clans that survived are in danger of firing out unless more mages can be found.
Most humans believe dragons and magic have already died out and no longer exist. An American Tourist, Cameron, has just completed his Mechanical Engineering Masters Program and is backpacking across Europe and stops at a small village celebrating their Dragon Festival. During his visit a dragon attending the event detects the presence of an unknown mage in the village and raises the alarm.
A, Very, Single, Dragon King, Alric turns out the Castle to search the village for the mage. When Ravi, the young dragon ward of the king, grabs Cameron and starts shouting in German that he has found the mage,.Cameron only knows a few words in German, and has no idea what Ravi is saying. Alric. realising this, quickly understands that Cameron is not aware at all of the significance of what he, Cameron, is—or who he is speaking to, and introduces himself as just a simple citizen, and that he thinks Ravi’s enjoyed the festival too much.”
Alric needs to handle this carefully or he could lose his chance to win Cameron over to become a mage and help save his clan of dragons by accidentally scaring him off.
The first book in the series , this is an adult tale of magic and m\m romance of a dragon king and his fated mate trying to rebuild his clan by finding lost mages for his people's future while fighting off known and unknown threats to his kingdom. Joel Leslie does a fantastic job of narrating AJ Sherwood and Jocelynn Drake's characters!

Great new dragon world
Loved it, great worldbuilding, interesting characters, including prominent females in positive roles, ranges of age etc. it is even set in a Germanic culture. All these uncommon in this genre ( however the bad guy? ALWAYS has a British accent! why oh why?! from a Brit) The romance was cute and awkward which was awesome. looking forward to the rest of the series. Joel Leslie is fabulous as always, his name on something is now a mark of quality for me in audiobookland.

A brilliant beginning to a dynamic series!
I don't often read fantasy or paranormal stories because they can get convoluted and confusing with too many unique elements to keep track of - and I'm here for the relaxing read with fun and enjoyment! But I'd heard a lot of good things about this series and wanted to give it a go.
I'm so glad I did - there is none of the confusion that often come along with a fantasy book, the storyline is paced very well and plot points explained in increments so the reader can soak them in easily while enjoying the wonderful banter and charismatic characters that abound in this world. It's extremely well written and the reader eagerly gobbles up each word on the page (or word in the ear if you listen to the brilliant audio by Joel Leslie).
Simply a brilliant beginning to a dynamic series!

I have never wanted to purchase the next book in a serise a third of the way into a book before.
This was a fun and light hearted read while still being graphically sexy and just violent enough to be exciting. I am bummed we don't get more of a dragon Daddy that they hinted to at the beginning of the book.
I found the language a bit immature but I think that's just showing my age.
While having a great range of character voices I am not the biggest fan of Leslie. He is not a bad narrator, and I have listened to things by him a few times, but I every time I need to listen at 95% - 80% and it still seems quite fast paced.
Now I am only pausing long enough to write this review before starting the next book.
