Lisa's grandmother, Li Na, recites many dragon stories and tales of lucky magic throughout her childhood. Lisa spends most of her time during the stories asking questions that Li Na answers with "All will reveal itself in time." When Li Na dies, Lisa moves into her home. While exploring her memories there, she opens up the spare bedroom door and finds Caleb, a beautiful golden dragon, in residence. After the initial shock of realizing she has a pet dragon, she begins to rely on him for companionship.

Caleb's enslavement by three witches involves watching over Lisa to make sure no harm comes to her. Unfortunately, the witches do not trust him, so he's unable to step into the human world to protect her properly. He's fully aware that her life is in danger from Malcolm, the black dragon, who needs Lisa and the orb she possesses to gain his freedom and return to his own world.

While running from Malcolm and certain danger, Lisa begins to notice changes in herself, including a powerful magic she has difficulty controlling and that her relationship with Caleb is more complicated than she originally thought. Their task is daunting, but all will reveal itself in time.

Allyson James' (aka Jennifer Ashley) first book in her new Dragon series is fascinating and absolutely intriguing. I'm in complete awe of where she took my imagination. And I am waiting in anticipation for the next Dragon book.
