Rafferty Powell is the most romantic of the dragon shape-
shifting Pyr, yet he has waited the longest for
his "firestorm" to occur. When it finally comes, on the
cusp of a lunar eclipse, there are added complications
involving the intense "darkfire," which has been released
by the evil Slayer dragon Chen. And does the
darkfire mean the hidden one, the Sleeper, could possibly
be awakened? Added to this already volatile mix of emotions
for Rafferty is having to deal with his arch-enemy, the
seemingly indestructible Slayer Magnus Montmorency.
Rafferty is tired of the unfinished business between them,
and since they've exchanged challenge coins, it now means a
fight to the death.
Investigative reporter Melissa Smith is struggling with the
brutal murder of a dear friend and knows exactly who's
responsible -- Magnus Montmorency. She resolves to bring to
light the truth of his nefarious deeds using info contained
in a certain blue book he keeps hidden in his home. But her
little B&E escapade does not go as planned -- and the rage
of one very vicious dragon could be her downfall.
When Rafferty's firestorm brings him to Magnus' home, he is
shocked at what he finds. Not only is his chosen mate a
thief, but she's incurred the wrath of Magnus. Finding that
Melissa is just as determined as Rafferty is to cause
Magnus' downfall forges an even stronger bond between them,
one that will test both of them to the limit. It is
foretold in Pyr mythology that the darkfire will
reveal itself in the midst of a major struggle for the
dragon empire, and everything will be changed and remade
anew.
I was not able to put this book down until I read it,
start to finish, with the pages flying. The dragons, both
good and bad, are put to the test, as are their loved ones
and enemies. And the final resolution is nothing short of
brilliant! This series has continually improved with the
development of each new plot twist and character addition.
Deborah Cooke is to be commended on her fantastic
imagery and world-building talent. Another book not to be
missed!

Since facing her own mortality, investigative reporter
Melissa Smith has resolved to live without fear. She’s

to herself.
