I put out fires. He ignites them. When a naked man stumbled out of the wildfire we'd been battling for over a week, I figured he'd escaped from some psych ward in the middle of nowhere. We all did. Who else walks barefoot through hell with a grin on his face? But then Kaspian did the impossible. He stopped the fire—snapped his fingers, and it died. You save a firefighter’s life, and you become more than a mystery. You become family. After that, I didn’t care if he was a lunatic, an alien, or the Dragon he claimed to be. Family is family. So I brought the naked man home. And slowly, ...

One man is the key to getting everything I want. When I met Captain Aras of the Tiger's Claw, I started hearing a voice. Just one. Still, hearing a voice in your head, other than that of your own thoughts, is not something a sane person experiences. This voice claimed to belong to a Dragon relic called Ensarena's Eye. I was skeptical at first, but it quickly proved itself to me. The Eye wants me to wield it. It claims that only through it can I win the inter-dread war that's brewing. So I accepted Captain Aras's offer to procure Ensarena's Eye for me. But on his way back to me, the Tiger's ...

My life changed the day I tried to take his. Mhavenna is a glorious city but, like every city on the face of Serai, it's run by Dragons. As a human, I'm on the lowest rung of the racial ladder here, as far from an illustrious Dragon as I could be, and I've made me peace with that. I don't like Dragons much, but like or dislike has nothing to do with my work. So when my broker offered me the task of killing the Dragon King, I took it. It was the sort of kill that could make an assassin's career, and I was certain that I had the skills for it. I was wrong, nearly dead wrong. The King caught ...

A miracle led me to them. God healed my boyfriend of cancer. At least, that's what Jake says. Then God ran off to Montana, and Jake decided to follow him, bringing me along for the ride in a near-abduction style scenario. In Montana, I met God. He goes by the name of Silas. Yeah, he's full of it. But I didn't know how full or what exactly filled him until I met Garret Demos. He's told me things that are crazier than God on Earth. And yet, I believe him. Or I want to. There's something about Garret that calms and reassures me. He makes the impossible seem probable. Which could make him the ...

I will never be weak again. After the man I loved mated a Dragon King, I knew I had to make a fresh start. Rontor may not have loved me, but he did care for me. He taught me to be strong. To know I had value. That I was worthy of being loved. Before I left Vix, I promised him that I would never let a man abuse me, not even a Dragon King. That promise was an integral part of the new life I was building for myself. If I wanted to be happy, I had to be strong. But every time I'm near the Dragon King of Sken, my strength fails me. The last Dragon King I was with had mistreated me and then ...
