Is it possible to meet the right person at the wrong time? I had my friends. I had football. I had a future I was set on, until her. Eleanor Kingston was the girl. The one I'd choose if I could, but all I had to give was one night. My life had been decided for me, my future predetermined. There's no room left for football or love. If you get only one life, how hard would you fight to live it on your own terms? I had my family. My career was set. I was back to begin the life I was meant to lead when I met him. We promised each other no tomorrow, no names, only one night. But fate had other plans. Sebastian Beneventi may think he's protecting me, but I'm no damsel in distress. No more running, it's time to fight for what I want for a change.

In his "utterly fascinating" (Book Smuggler) debut, The Adamantine Palace, Stephen Deas "restored [dragons] to all their scaly fire- breathing glory" (Daily Telegraph). Now, as the Realms teeter on the brink of war, the fate of humanity rests in the survival of one majestic white dragon. Prince Jehal has had his way-now his lover Zafir sits atop the Realms with hundreds of dragons and their riders at her beck and call. But Jehal's plots are far from over, for he isn't content to sit back and watch Zafir command the earth and sky. He wants that glory for himself- no matter who he must sacrifice to get it. The one thing Jehal fears is that the white dragon still lives-and if that is so, then blood will flow, on all sides...
