Award-winning author Carole Cummings really brings it with her newest gay romantic fantasy. Wartime, magic, and dragons! Old Forge is known for its dragons—savage little things, more singe than snarl—and Milo Priddy is known for his way with them. But as rumblings of conflict appear on the horizon, the dragons start to disappear. As dragonkin, Milo knows what he must do. But it is an uneasy choice, one he dares not reveal even to his lover, Ellis. As the leader of neighbouring Wellech, Ellis has his own hard choices. His skills are crucial to a secure homeland. And, more and more, the life he and Milo once hoped to share is under threat—not only from outside but within. For their own people are sowing mistrust of the magic users, seeding the betrayal of not only the dragons, but their kin.
