But when on the very next day she gets unceremoniously abducted and put up as the prize of a dragon tournament, Isobel's more than ready to give up on mankind for good. Except there's one problem. She's not given a choice. Her path is decided for her and it seems like she'll be stuck with a dragon, whether she likes it or not. When Isobel figures out that her little tryst resulted in something a lot more permanent than a few hickies, she knows there's more on the line than just her faith in men. With dragons circling the sky like vultures and danger lurking behind every corner, Aeon has to figure out fast what he wants from life.
