Tabitha is the last of her kind.

The Mages of Kunzite were once the most powerful order in the world. No one dared face their wrath, but when an unexpected enemy slaughters the magic users who inhabit the island, Tabitha barely escapes with her life. She vows to complete her last mission even if it means losing everything. She can't let the deaths of her people be in vain. There is a legend that a hidden dragon guarded by a powerful witch contains the essence she needs to seek revenge for her people. She'll do anything to get it. She doesn't have a choice.

Felix has been living alone ever since he killed the witch who kidnapped him. He lurks in the shadows of the island, collecting treasures and enjoying the scenery. He can't remember anything that happened before he was kidnapped, so even if he knew how to leave the island, he wouldn't have the faintest idea of where to go.

When a newcomer arrives at the island, Felix knows instantly. She's beautiful and interesting and sweet. She's charming. She's come to hunt a monster, and Felix decides to join her. After all, he's been living on the island for years and he's never noticed a monster. He's certain her mission is futile, but he's all too happy to help her.

Then Felix discovers something about himself that will change everything.

Suddenly, Tabitha's mission seems a lot more dangerous.

It seems deadly.

And Felix will have to do whatever it takes to survive.

Even if it means losing her.

Author's note: this is a sexy, steamy dragon-shifter romance that takes place in the same world as THE FEISTY DRAGONS. It is the first in a new trilogy by Sophie Stern, author of Dragon Isle and The Fablestone Clan.
