Marjorie M. Liu's Dirk & Steele works are always excellent, but Eddie's story is the one fans have been waiting for. His present is marred by the horrors of his past, actions he did, opportunities he thinks he missed; the rage and stress inside him erupts in fire, so he has had to hide himself from others in order to keep them from the danger of his flames. However, he's been charged with finding a half-dragon beneath the streets of Manhattan, whether he's able to control himself or not. Because a half-dragon is not all that Lyssa is, Eddie may find controlling himself more difficult than he thinks!
Passionate and inspiring with themes of friendship, second chances, and never judging a book by its cover, a person by his or her family, or someone by hereditary stereotypes, WITHIN THE FLAMES is an excellent read!
Joining the Dirk & Steele Agency turned Eddie's life around.
A pyrokinetic and former car thief, he cannot refuse an
assignment to cross the continent in order to rescue an
extraordinary woman in peril. . . even though he fears
losing control of the destructive power of flame at his
fingertips.
The last of her shape-shifting kind, Lyssa hides in the
abandoned tunnels beneath Manhattan, seeking refuge from
those who murdered her family a decade ago and would now
destroy her as well. Like Eddie, fire is her weapon, her
destiny. . . and her curse. Yet she wants nothing to do with
this mesmerizing stranger who seeks her trust whle enflaming
her passion. For beneath Lyssa's extraordinary beauty are
dangerous secrets. . . and even darker, nearly irresistible
urges. But she has won the heart of a fearless protector. .
. and all the demons in the world will not make him back down.
