Melisse is a half fae, half dragon who is just trying to find her place in the world. However, she just can not shake the recurring thoughts of her kiss with Henry which is making it harder for her to let go of the past. Henry, who is a Druid with no magic, can somehow still feel Melisse from realms far away. It is this shared connection that alerts Henry that Melisse is headed towards mortal peril.
When an extremely powerful, unhinged and vengeful druid sets sights on Melisse it is up to Henry and the bond they share to find her and bring her back alive. Throwing caution to the wind, Melisse tracks down a missing young dragon in a thicket; and soon learns that she is in more trouble than only she can handle. Can the two star crossed lovers find each other before it is too late?
Overall rating ⅘
A quick heartfelt read about love and acceptance. Filled with the battles of overcoming obstacles in life and resolving long held grudges. As this was the first in the Dragon Kings series I felt a little lost with all the characters. However, I do believe this could be read as a stand alone. I would have loved more spice as in previous books from Grant, but understand in life and death you can’t always stop to get freaky.
