Can destiny be fulfilled or will she deny what is her heritage? Alyssa lost everything, first her mother, then her father, her money, and even her title. She came back from Europe for her father's funeral only to find herself thrown in jail on trumped up charges. She escaped prison and found herself embraced by the Elisaid, a group of women who were the last of the cursed Druid descendants. They believe she is prophesied to break their curse. They teach her the ways of a warrior and Alyssa discovers she has a secret heritage and a gift for magic. It was the perfect way to get her revenge on the man who marked her and stole everything from her. She had no interest in love or anything to do with men, only revenge. Prince Xanther has a responsibility to his people, or he would never have sought out the Elisaid. His father's life is at stake, and someone is trying to overthrow the throne. Xanther recognizes Alyssa at first sight as one of his people, and decided then and there to claim her as his own. She is marked as a dragon, by the house of Sinclair. He is compelled to show her what true pleasure she can feel in his arms, until destiny rips them apart. Can she deny him or her secret heritage?
