The Dragocracy Chronicles

I never suspected the lava rock I threw into the firepit was actually an egg. I'm blown away when it hatches to reveal a reptile with a voracious appetite. Cute little bugger, until it learns to talk. The bossy critter thinks he can order me around. Claims he's a dragon. Says when he grows strong enough, he wants to rule the world. I say go ahead.

I just wanted to be left alone, but then SHE came along. Alistair's been around for eons because his gift allows him to live undetected among the humans. However, his peaceful existence on Rum Island is shaken up with the arrival of a history professor in search of treasure. Davina isn't some...
