Tia Brooks left her home in Marcus Deleon's wolf pack out of duty to her own people. As the last female dragon shapeshifter, it falls on her to reestablish the species. Her escort, Loren Cole, is taking her to the dragons' king: Bryn. Tia barely remembers Bryn at all from their time as drakelings, and she certainly never saw Loren before he showed up at Marcus'. Preservation of their kind means mating, which shouldn't be a problem...except she doesn't want to be a queen. When a figure from Loren's past attempts to quench all chances of their survival, Bryn and Loren chase the enemy into the depths of the earth, desperate to reach Tia before it's too late.
