Imagine inheriting a dragon, one intending to dog your every step. Adrielle is the last Rovada, of which the family dragon reminds her daily. It has yet to be an advantage especially when combined with acting as scullery maid to her uncle and two cousins. Surely the last Rovada has better things to do. On the road, prized belongings sacked and flung over her shoulder, she’s headed for the capital and a new life. Apparently, no one travels the trade road with a dragon taking up the northbound lane. Equally obvious, she can’t seem to shake the beast or the man who has taken a sudden interest in her odd companion. She just wants a quiet job and a tiny room to call her own. The single-minded dragon, the meddlesome man and some unsavory characters must be in league together to turn a simple desire for independence into intrigue, danger, and assassination. Will she achieve her quiet goals or face off against unexpected enemies, imprisonment, and a doomed invitation to a ball? Read the next standalone romantic dragon fantasy in the Solstice Dragon World because Prince Charming is a thief among men.
Author
L. Darby Gibbs, aka Elldee: I have lived all over the country, so I don't feel I come from anywhere specific, but I started in Maryland and consider California my current home base. I am a teacher of creative writing. At thirteen, I read science fiction almost exclusively, reading Asimov first and moving alphabetically down the library shelf, then turned to fantasy for a while taking in everything up through Tolkien. I spend my free time reading many of the classics, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and contemporary fiction. I have four fantasy series and a nonfiction book on narrative frameworks available in eBook form on Amazon, Smashwords, Kobe and other fine eBook retailers.
