In a post-apocalyptic world where the human and fae worlds have merged and technology is fueled by magic, Tania is a thief who trusts in little except her abilities, her cog mare, and the hard coin that comes with a score. When she “acquires” directions to a great treasure supposedly protected by a dragon, the lure is too great to ignore. She will travel to the formidable northern mountains, help herself to a bit of plunder, and be comfortably settled in her winter retreat long before foul weather makes the passes into the south close. Besides, dragons aren’t real. Or so she believed. Through the heart of a monastery, she discovers corruption, riches, and a monster determined to keep her as his most precious treasure despite adversaries to his claim. She must decide if she can trust a beast who is no prince. Beware, there are no dragon shifters in this story. This is a monster romance. The dragon, while capable of increasing his size and structure to a battle form, remains a dragon even when in a smaller, more bi-pedal form. May include some darkish themes and horror elements not suited for everyone.
