About This Book
Lucian is a Dragon Prince with a dying clock and an impossible choice: fulfill the ancient treaty that keeps humanity safe—or protect the heart of the woman he can't stop wanting. He's done this before, and the memory haunts him. When he pulls a stranger from Seattle's darkened streets, everything becomes more complicated and more desperate. The stakes are personal before they're ever mythological, and that's exactly what makes the tension so difficult to put down. This is a romance built on genuine conflict, where the monster and the man are the same person, and neither one is easy to root against.
Woods writes with a propulsive pace that keeps the pages moving, but she earns her emotional beats rather than rushing past them. The modern Seattle setting grounds the immortal mythology in something immediate and tactile, while the Beauty and the Beast undercurrent gives the dynamic a resonance that feels both familiar and freshly imagined. Readers who want heat alongside genuine feeling will find both here—this is fantasy romance that trusts its characters to carry the weight.
