As a wolf shifter with razor-sharp senses, Jessa Lebron can perceive the slightest change in the air. And her lupine instincts go into overdrive right before her mother, who abandoned her years ago, returns to the pack bearing secrets that change everything.

The biggest secret of all: Jessa is dragon marked, a designation that places her in grave danger. The dragon marked are destined to resurrect the dragon king, a fearsome ancient warmonger. And they must be eliminated.

Soon Jessa is locked up in Vanguard, the notorious paranormal prison that houses criminal vampires, feys, and magic users. Thankfully, she’s not alone: Braxton Compass, her best friend and a dragon shifter, has her back. Jessa and Braxton must find a way to free themselves and the rest of the dragon marked. But can her pack mates help her stop the dragon king before his deadly return?



Teaser...

Jacob took away the plates and was back in moments with a tray of desserts. I had my knife and fork in my hands, prepared to use them if necessary.  The chocolate cake and ice cream were mine.  I felt like the world held its breath just before the tray hit the wooden table, and then it was on.  I dived across Braxton, kicking Maximus in the face.  Jacob had jumped back.  He had the least sweet tooth of any of us.  The fight was pretty fair right up until the point when Tyson's eyes glowed gold.  I leveled a finger in his direction.
"Don't do it, Tyson Compass."
Apparently I wasn't scary enough, because the tray levitated high into the air.
He changed his tune, of course, as Braxton and Maximus recovered from my surprise attack and also fixed their gazes on him.
"Oh shit," Tyson said.  Although he didn't really look worried .
"Not your smartest move, wizard." Braxton was grinning lazily.  "Jessa has that look on her face.  You're about to lose an eye." (Page 31-32)

This series may be getting me out of my reading slump.  I've devoured this one and moved right to the next.  After spending most of the summer just not wanting to read, that is a huge deal for me.  And I'm loving Jessa's snark! So fun.  Four protective guys all friends with one girl.  So much fun.  Have you read this series?
