Secrets hidden inside a castle. The return of a lost love. A desperate fight to defeat the enemies who threaten their future.
In a laboratory behind the walls of a castle, Natalia Zakharova Kinross, Lady of Kinlarig, hides her many secrets. But for how much longer? For not only is a medical miracle embedded within her skin, a mythological dragon prowls the grounds. And there are men who will stop at little to lay claim to both.
Though Luke Dryden, cryptozoologist, is welcomed back to the castle at the tip of a blade, an old romance ignites. Until a lingering illness acquired in a secret biotechnology facility takes a turn for the worse – all while disaster circles. To help defend a lady and her dragon, he must attempt a risky cure.
As old enemies threaten their future, they will fight back to back in a desperate last stand…

A Wonderful Adventure
In the fourth in the Elemental Web Tale series and it is a wonderful adventure from the very beginning. Witty and deliciously naughty, this book sets off at a cracking ace from the very beginning while easing you into this wonderfully different tale. Anne Renwick uses her usual magic to bring the characters to life. Natalia Zakharova Kinross makes for a wonderfully strong, independent and beautiful heroine while keeping a dark and dangerous secret. She is hunted by old enemies from her tragic past. Enter the strong, handsome and intelligent Luke Dryden, who is ailing from an illness inflicted on him; he re-enters her life and the two re-kindle their smouldering attraction for each other. Anne cleverly weaves a biological spin throughout this sophisticated love story and it is a witty and winning combination. Zia the little dragon is an endearing character and Anne really brings her to life with her very descriptive writing. A great addition to this series and from the moment I started it, I couldn’t put it down.
