Keira Drade had been thrown into a foster home when her parents died at the age of three. Her uncle was her only living relative, but he did not take her. Now, eleven years later she is called to live with him and his three children in a large estate. However, the estate and the things living there are stranger than she thought. Her uncle never leaves his room, until everyone else is safe in their beds. A peculiar looking cat follows her everywhere she goes, including a long forgotten greenhouse that no one will talk about. And perhaps the strangest thing of all, how her aunt suddenly vanished one night leaving no traces whatsoever behind. Suddenly, Keira is forced to deal with the fact that everything is not as it should be, and it may be her job to sort everything out, no matter how unbelievable and impossible the outcome may be. . .

Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.
