Summary: Stories tell of great fire-breathing beasts large as castles, fierce and deadly, capable of magicks that no human can match. The Kingdom of Kentaine once allied itself with the dragons of old, but eventually, the dragons were lost to time and fell into legend. Sir Gawain, First Knight of the Realm, is tasked by his older sister the Queen to travel to the edges of their kingdom, where a beast is flaming villagers and has the locals ready to form a mob and hunt it down themselves. His mission is to find the dragon, stop the violence, and do what he needs to maintain the peace. His journey puts him in the heart of a confrontation with the dragon, but instead of saving the villagers, it is the dragon that needs rescuing. Zephyr, a fire dragon and an escaped slave, needs protection, time to heal, and a chance at a life full of hope. Gawain can do no less than offer his sword, his shield, and his heart. Evil is hunting Zephyr, and it will not stop until it has reclaimed its prize. Beyond the legends lies the truth, and love, like fire, consumes everything it touches.

Summary: This is the second book in the Vasari Streams series. Laredo Dia and Jude Forest have been in love for a very long time. It is obvious to everyone else but them, at least on the surface. Over the painfully long years their attraction and fondness for each other has grown to a near obsession as they can’t stand to be without each other, even for a short time; but still quickly end up constantly bickering. Following another brief disagreement they were forced to arrive separately at the Vasari Castle, Italy, to celebrate Carlo and Wes’ fated soulmate union. Shortly after being welcomed another argument soon began when Laredo spotted Jude talking to Vi. This time Violet Vasari had enough, and steps right in, magically freezing them both, then proceeded to discover a lifechanging event, long suspected by her. Days later, the party moved over to Italus Scottsdale, home of the Bart Magnus coven, to continue with another surprise celebration. Without warning a strange satchel comes to light that contains mysterious items involving the ancient Dia witch family. This unexpected satchel normally would only involve female members of the dynastic Dia witches, but this time is different. They have been responsible for a secret past and current devotion to the god Dionysus cult, who is now demanding revenge for an intolerable insult. Ages have past until the appointed time set by the eternal Fates, to right this terrible wrong. That time is now. As the legend goes, a magical cup was stolen from Dionysus thousands of years ago according to common knowledge, allowing him to be made vulnerable and later forced into an enchanted slumber. The cup must be located and returned to Dionysus to free him from his intolerable predicament, a responsibility now held by the Dia witch coven alpha. Laredo finds that much to his dismay he and Jude are on the hook to perform this dangerous request and are obligated without question to Dionysus. Laredo and Jude must locate the incredible cup and return it to Dionysus where an incredible reward awaits them; fail to return it to Dionysus, and they will slumber eternally alongside him without any hope of escape.

Summary: Emperor Chrysander Draconis rules not only the dragons but the entire Council of Sorcery and Shifters. From the moment Fate selected him, he has devoted himself to ensuring his people thrive and prosper. His life revolves around duty; nothing stands in the way of his dedication to his job. One of the most prominent issues on Chrysander’s plate is the lack of hybrid drakelings that have survived the road from man to beast. When he receives word that one such rare soul is living in an obscure tribe, he races to help. Ellery of the Fen-Lynthi elves is different from the rest of his people. He does not understand why his ears are shorter, why he stands taller than the others. Then his mother explains why the other children mock him and call him a mongrel: his father, a dragon, abandoned her the moment he learned of Ellery’s impending birth. With his mother’s often-fragile mental state, Ellery does not know if he can trust her words, but they are all he has. He spends his days ostracized, doing what he can to improve his lot. Chrysander is overjoyed to find his mate among the Fen-Lynthi, but when it is confirmed that Ellery is half dragon, he is terrified Ellery will be ripped apart by the beast inside him. Regardless, Chrysander proceeds with their matebond ceremony, though he delays the event, believing duty demands they bypass elven tradition. This troubles Ellery, and he wonders if moving forward is what Chrysander truly wants. Their schedules present them with little opportunity to spend time together, which gives him further cause for worry. If that isn’t enough, Ellery is apprehensive over his new role as emperor. Chrysander and Ellery must confront their fears and learn to face the world as a united and loving front. In doing so, not only will they be able to defy the impossible, but they will change the world.
