Publisher Description

It was on every news station in the country—and on many foreign news outlets as well. Attack at Wedding Leaves at Least Fourteen Dead, Many More Injured, the headlines proclaimed.

The wedding was an outdoor affair, on a beach with the Gulf of Mexico in the background. In all, seventy-two were injured, and the body count rose to seventeen. Local hospitals were filled with bleeding attendees, and, at one point, the bride, her bloodied white wedding dress cut away and spilling onto the emergency room floor, went into cardiac arrest.

Her groom died at the scene.

In the room next door, an elderly wedding guest also suffered cardiac arrest—not from a bullet wound but from shock, combined with advanced age and a weak heart. Both souls walked out of their respective rooms.

One wanted to live.

One did not.

* * *

Philomena Muir became a widow on her wedding day. Three years later, she found herself bumping into the strangest man she'd ever met--except he wasn't a man. More specifically, he wasn't human.

That brief meeting became the catalyst for a brewing war, pitting one human witch against the might of a supernatural race.

The cards are stacked, and Philomena needs a winning hand...

The Author Calls it an Homage

Overall, terrific story.

The romance in this book is …odd? To me. I like each of the participants in the love story, I just found that the limited romantic intimacy - very limited, I think the word breast was used once, and a fade to black adopted for the rest other than kissing - was loud but not emotive. Like those tiny portions were narrated by Telemundo commercial announcers, maybe. In contrast, the intimacy between friends was demonstrated far more smoothly despite being equally dramatic at times. As all the lovers are also friends, it somehow works. We see the emotion develop and grow, and it is satisfying.

The issue of consent is handled with two parallel and conflicting flows. It’s often discussed and accounted for by contract, but at the same time certain decisions are weirdly heavy handed. Perhaps that’s a dragon thing. I don’t mean sexual consent here - rather, self determination and agency. I think that is done purposely to add depth to the story.

I don’t know the first thing about this author, other than that she has labeled this an homage to South Korea. I do know that I’m going to look for more of her work, and have every expectation of enjoying it. My own dragon is showing here, but I can’t wait to add more of her work to my hoard.
