Lisrith of the Onyx Aerie pack only wants one thing. To save her sister. A sister she knows is still alive, despite the fact no one else believes her. And she is determined to meet her goal, even if she has to wake a sleeping pack secret to do it. The trouble is, can she handle the dragon her pack has kept for nearly a month? Or will he handle her? Just how much is she willing to give in order to find the sister that means everything to her? Cillumn Bloodbriar was left for dead, and were it not for the compassion of some passing exiled Shifters he would have been. But when he is awakened by a hot-tempered red-headed Shifter with her own purpose in mind he cannot help but be drawn by her troubles, and her fire. Could he ever win such a woman to his affections? And with such dark tidings intertwining the races, would he be strong enough to keep her?
