An immense, lipless mouth, studded with gigantic, crushing teeth was the last sight David had as a mortal. In one slashing moment, his sanity splintered. His humanity and everything he had been was wiped out by the terrifying vision of evil in front of him. Lurching to his feet was a reflex, the young keeper would never again make a conscious decision for himself.
Sara had thought her life was perfect with Jonathan. She had never been in love before and the whirlwind romance had swept her away. She had no idea she was being hunted. A vicious attack that nearly kills her and wrenches Jonathan away forever, drives her towards the magical protection of South Park. There, she must face up to the loss of Jonathan and the knowledge of who she truly is. As her quiet life is shattered, she must go into battle for her life and her people, to keep a promise she does not even remember.
An immortal warrior must protect the princess he has loved for centuries. As he struggles to keep her safe, even from himself, he must draw on every skill he has as a warrior. When every attempt to restore her to her immortal form fails, Blaise must make a terrifying decision. With the wizard, Garraran, injured, they must attempt to perform Sara's change from mortal to immortal themselves. Risking everything, even her life, to do it without him. Against every instinct he has, Blaise must guide her back to her homeland as a mortal.
When all is almost lost, the only hope comes from a terrifying source, one that could aid them or destroy them by a single stroke.
In an ancient time, every magical creature that lived in the world of men had been banished back to Arantor. Only six remained, the Envoys of the Vow. Three from the side of good and three from evil. Enchanted to live many lives as mortals. When they awoke they would no longer be pure good or evil, they could battle for the Thirteenth Seat at the Table of Kings and return balance to Arantor.
"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face.
She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?"
He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me."
Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much."
"What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?"
She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion."
He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear.

Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her.
In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat. Or risk the extinction of her kind.
