The only thing Elena Watkins wants is a normal life. One where she doesn’t have to move every three months or be the new student at school. She will love a friend or two as well. But when the weird, complex, hotness on legs, Blake Leaf, enrolled a few weeks later at Falmouth High, Elena struggles to keep the walls she builds around herself from falling. The guy seems to only have eyes for her, and she doesn’t know why. Until the truth reveals that he and his father are there to take her home, to a land of magic, fairytales and dragons. Elena’s mind refuses to process her new reality and feels the need to grab a brown bag every time they mention the word dragon. To make it worse, she has to claim the Alpha of all beasts, the Rubicon, otherwise he will destroy not just her new world but the human world too, and she has to do it on her sixteenth birthday. All she wanted was a normal life.

Elena thought the worst was over when her dragon, Blake Leaf, submitted inside the ring. Now the ancients are threatening to annul it. The snow dragon refuses to let Blake go and harasses Elena in the worst ways possible. The Viden gives her a difficult choice to save her new world from destruction: save her father or dragon. Nobody said being a princess of Paegeia is easy, and Elena discovers just how powerful those words are. Can’t a princess get a break?

After saving Etan, Elena is experiencing a different side of Blake Leaf, her dragon and the alpha of the dragons. As much as he is nice and lovable, he can be mean and hurtful. It’s a small progression, but it grows over time and Elena ponders on what really happened behind the wall. When Blake disappears with a group of wyverns, Elena has to find the truth. She has to save her dragon and claiming him again might just be enough to save him from Goran. The third book in the Once Upon a Dragon Series. A retelling of the original Dragonian Series.
