Tully Sullivan woke up surrounded by people who said they
were dragons and that she's one too. Considering that a
couple of times a year she zones out and turns base metals
into gold, the weird concept didn't totally throw her off.
But no matter what, they can't convince her she's a dragon.
Since this was an unscheduled "zone out," Tully is worried
about her son, Brom, and insists the dragon people, if
that's what they are, get him. When she talks by phone to
her husband, who isn't at all concerned that Tully
disappeared and zoned out around strangers but is worried
that he won't get the gold he usually gets, Tully realizes
the man is a jerk and it's time to get rid of him.
Once Brom is safely with her, Tully tries to make sense of
the crazy situation. She just can't be a dragon, but these
people are insisting she is Ysolde de Bouchier, a famous
dragon who is the mate of Baltic, an infamous dragon who is
supposed to have killed many other dragons.
It can't be. At least, that's what Tully thinks until she
begins to have strange dreams and then finally meets
Baltic, to find a powerful attachment that she can't deny.
Baltic does not admit to killing the other dragons, and
Tully is left fighting her attraction but also feeling
compelled to stand up for him against the other dragons.
Ms. MacAlister has once again taken a crazy plot and
fascinating characters (Aisling and Drake, along with the
demon Jim, are in this book!) and tossed them with a lot of
fun and a dash of mystery to create a darned good reading
adventure. Who would have thought dragons could be so
sexy?! Katie MacAlister, that's who. Hail to the
powers of the creative author.
If you found out you were a famous fire-breather, you’d be
freaked out too.
Tully Sullivan is just like any other suburban mom – unless
you count the days every year that she zones out and turns
base metals in to gold. Those are weird.
And now she’s woken up in a strange place surrounded by
strange people who keep insisting they’re dragons – and
that she’s one too. But not just any dragon. She’s Ysolde
de Bouchier, a famed figure from dragon history.
Tully can’t shape-shift or breathe fire, and she’s
definitely not happy being sentenced to death for the
misdeeds of a dragon mate she can’t remember. All Tully
knows is that she wants her son back. So she’ll have to
find a way to solve the crimes of a past she has no memory
of living…
