**BLURB**
As
the last dragon shifter, I live alone, hiding in one of Earth’s sacred deserts.
My human handlers tell me that I have no parents, no name, and no purpose other
than to train for battle and one day become a vessel for the reincarnation
of Chimera, the greatest dragon shifter of all. Sadly, Chimera’s rebirth will
mean my own death. But my handlers say this sacrifice is a noble fate that will
rebuild the dragon shifter world.
I shall die on my seventeenth birthday. That’s five days from now.
Then I hear music thumping across the desert. I take my mortal form, follow the sound, and find humans dancing in what they call a rave. There is a stage and a rock band. One thing quickly becomes clear: Unlike the audience, the musicians are dragon shifters, just like me. And one of them, the guitar player Rhodes, makes my knees turn watery. The lead singer, Kaps, has something strangely familiar about her.
It all adds up to one conclusion: My handlers lied to me. I’m not the last of my kind. Memories reappear. I had parents once. Portia and Tempest. I even had a name. Zinnia. Perhaps I have a reason to live as well. I step past the dancing humans to confront the players.
I will find out the full truth, no matter what.

**EXCERPT**
Slipping
out from under my covers, I step toward my balcony. Cool air wafts through the
curtains. A chill seeps into my skin, so I pull the tie on my silk robe a
little tighter.
One
moment, the balcony only frames the sight of a darkened forest and flickering
stars. A second later, he is there.
My
Rhodes.
My
Rhana.
He
says nothing, merely crosses the space to stand before me. Rhodes cups my face
in his hands. The touch is both warm and electric. My body melts to be so near
to him. Moonlight dances across his high cheekbones and strong jawline. His
green eyes flicker with desire.
Still
silent, he guides my mouth to his. At first, our kiss is gentle. A simple sweep
of our lips. Then my Rhodes licks along the seam of my mouth, tempting me to
open for him.
So
I do.
Our
kiss deepens. Suddenly, it’s as if I can’t close enough to my Rhana. Our bodies
press together, shifting in a dance that has a rhythm all its own. The electric
charge of magic surrounds us.
Yes,
this is right.
