PIA SAVES THE DAY is another one of the seemingly unending
Wyr short stories from author Thea Harrison. These tales
are tucked in between the regular books in the Elder
Races series. This time around, Pia and Dragos have
decided to take their toddler son Liam out of the big city
to go live in the countryside of upstate New York. They
have been busy getting the house and grounds ready to move
into. Dragos, not content to just oversee the renovations,
has placed himself squarely in the middle of a demolition
project on the property.
After being seriously hurt in an explosion, Dragos has lost
all memory of who he is and those around him. Pia attempts
to reach him telepathically; but after extricating himself
from the rubble, Dragos has found himself to be a dragon in
unfamiliar surroundings and flies away. After sending
their son Liam and most of their entourage away, Pia
strikes out on her own to find her mate and attempt to heal
his wounds and memory.
What Pia finds is a dragon who has no notion of who she is,
or even who he is. Dragos has become a solitary dragon in
his most feral form. After a rocky beginning, Pia tries to
reach his inner memories and emotions. Pia attempts to
reason with him; and to help him come to terms with his
life, even if he remembers none of it. The couple then make
an effort to reconstruct their relationship from the ground
up. Although Dragos still doesn't know who he is, he
realizes that he wants Pia and is willing to follow her
back home to try to reconstruct his memories. Dragos wants
to rebuild his life with his family, even if he doesn't
understand that life.
PIA SAVES THE DAY is a cute but very quick read. This is
the kind of tiny story that many authors put on their
website as free reads for their fans. As with the other
between-the-book tales of the Elder Races series, PIA
SAVES THE DAY is a quite short, rather expensive story;
best suited for the most faithful fans of the series with a
desire to know even more about Dragos and Pia's lives, and
who have the money to burn. Although a sweet little bit of
an anecdote, other readers of Thea Harrison's Elder
Races series may do better to stick with the regular
full-length books in the series. PIA SAVES THE DAY is an
amusing story, but definitely not the place to begin reading
Thea Harrison's overall very good Elder Races series.
In the latest story of the Elder Races, two mates face
their
deadliest challenge yet—each other…
Pia and Dragos’s magical young son Liam (the Peanut), is
growing at an unprecedented rate, and if that isn’t enough,
he is also exhibiting new, and unpredictable, magical
gifts.
To protect him, the concerned parents decide to move to
upstate New York.
Both Dragos and Pia relish the idea of leaving behind the
city. They finally have the space to indulge their Wyr
side,
and Liam can grow in safety. It’s a breath of fresh
air—literally—but their idyllic situation is shattered when
Dragos is injured in a freak accident.
Stripped of his memory and bereft of Pia’s taming
influence,
there’s nothing holding back Dragos’s darkest side. And in
order to restore her family and save her mate, Pia must
confront the most powerful menace in Elder Races history.
