To Tame a Shifter

I can only run from my past for so long. Eventually my Demons always find me. Unfortunately, that Demon has hired three insufferable dragon shifters to bring me back to him. I just have to hide my secrets a little longer. I just have to pretend to help these assholes find the person they're looking for without letting them know the truth. They're on the hunt for a dangerous Mage. Just wait until they find out the Mage they're hunting is actually me....

I'm coming after Kreedence. I want him to know what it feels like to live in fear. Just as I did for so many years. Three dragon shifters and a hellhound should be more than enough help. And yet, I'm seeking out allies in all the wrong places: a prince with resources, a deadly king with power, and a mysterious queen who died decades ago. New secrets will come to light. They'll destroy everything I thought I knew about myself and the world around me. Our secrets will always haunt us. Or hunt us.  

Nothing perfect ever lasts. For the first time in my entire life, I've found a community that accepts me. The village of dragon shifters knows what it's like to be different. These men care about me. And I care about them. I might even love them. Among all that perfection, terror creeps in. It haunts this place during the night. Something dangerous, powerful, and deadly has found these innocent people. And it wants me.  

The beautiful coastal village is too small and it's impossible to hide when you're a target. They know I'm different. They knew when I was a young girl and they know now. They're just waiting for the proof. They're all waiting for me to screw up like I always do. What they don't know is, I'm not staying. I'll take my scowling shifters - hopefully before they literally rip into one of the many hateful villagers - and I'll find the Solstice Queen. I'll find that mysteriously dangerous mage again if it's the last thing I do.

I've gotten myself into one last incident. One final mistake that may cost me everything, including my life. By using dark, manipulating magic the Solstice Queen wants to reign over the two Kingdoms and give power back to mages once and for all. I'll stand by her side. I'll smile and wave and say all the right things. All while turning the last remaining mages against her. Because when it all ends, the beloved Solstice Queen won't walk away from the war she started. Unless I die trying.
