Well, she didn't overtook a mind. She couldn't control him, like in a case of posession, for example. She was just a voice he hears, but nobody one else does. So as I see it, Talana gave him his power, and died. He lost consciousness, and when he woke up, Ygerna started to talk to him. Probably, his weakened state of mind, after the ritual, and encounter with Talana, make him uniquely vulnerable. (Even Damien was unable to hear Ygerna, otherwise he would have found Hall of Echoes to free her on his own. But in our case his people worked against the hero.) And dragon knight had no reason not to trust this voice. It never happened to him before, and bec. it happened after his meeting Talana, he did not have doubts that it was her. And what she told him made sense in the light of the events he experienced.
I do not find any evidence that Talana might have been Ygerna all along. She didn't try to reach Lovis, or Maxos Temple, or to find a way into the Hall of Echoes. If she were controlled by Ygerna, it would be her goal. But she was just a dragon knight on the run.
