If it walks like a dragon shifter and it talks like a dragon shifter. . . but it can't shift? What then?

The entire country rejoiced when, out of a golden egg, Roxana Goldenscales hatched. It's not every day (or even every decade) that a dragona princess graces the earth with her presence. But like most rare, valuable, and defenseless things, every moment of Roxana's existence is supervised, planned, and observed.

Or at least, they were.

Until she ran away.

Her decision to flee from her gilded pedestal wasn't an easy one, and nothing's gone quite right since. Her love life's confusing, her closet's cramped (and a little smelly), and her useless, ornamental dragon scales itch constantly. But after finding a group of misfit friends who support her, Roxana's making a life for herself—one that she chooses.

As usual, the rest of the world has other ideas.

The Manhattan werewolves, the demon-spawn leaders, and Roxana's powerful parents all want her to go back home double quick. Can a helpless princess find the strength to stand on her own? Or will the danger for her friends be so steep that she's swept right back into the very cage she fled?
