It's hard to focus on the fire-breathing problem underground when the people you trusted most are turning out to be the real monsters.

Alfie is getting braver. Training harder. Falling deeper into something with Jake that neither of them can afford — him because soft feelings get you killed in his world, her because loving a dangerous man has turned her quiet life into a target.

Then betrayal comes from the last direction she expected, and Alfie has to decide whether she's still the mouse who hides — or something her enemies really should have been more afraid of.

When the con artists want your land, the dragon wants out, your dead aunt wants a word — and the ferret has eaten something it shouldn't have again — hiding is no longer an option.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
