Dragon's Desire

I agreed to spy on the humans who rejected the Zmaj. I never expected my dragon warrior to defy everyone and steal me away.Following Gershom into exile is the most dangerous assignment Rosalind has ever given me.His frightened followers are stranded in the wreckage of our generation ship, refusing the native plant that protects humans from Tajss's deadly heat. Their food is disappearing, their water is running out, and the desert is slowly killing them.I'm supposed to watch Gershom, keep his people alive, and report everything I learn.No one can discover that I'm a spy.And no one can know that Drosdan has been secretly helping me.He's the largest and most intimidating warrior in the Tribe, a wall of muscle, wings, scales, and barely restrained fury. To everyone else, he's rough, dangerous, and impossible to command.With me, he's gentle.Drosdan believes I'm his treasure, the fated mate he was born to protect. When our leaders order him to stop helping the exiles, he finally refuses to obey.He storms into Gershom's camp, sweeps me into his arms, and carries me into the desert.Drosdan calls it rescuing me.I'm fairly certain it qualifies as kidnapping.Running away together should solve everything. Instead, we're trapped by a devastating sandstorm and forced to seek shelter in the ruins of an abandoned Zmaj village. As we build a fragile new life among the wreckage, Drosdan's buried memories begin breaking through the darkness of the bijass.Something terrible happened there before the Devastation.And he may have been part of it.But we can't hide forever. The humans I left behind are starving, Drosdan's people need their second-in-command, and the past he has spent years trying to forget could destroy the future we're fighting to build.To save everyone we love, Drosdan must face the warrior he once was.And I must prove that choosing each other doesn't mean abandoning our duty to everyone else.Dragon's Desire is the eighth full-length novel in the Red Planet Dragons of Tajss series.
