Love is never as important as it is during a war.

Gideon is in an odd position. He's the first human ambassador to the Ogorth clan, and while he loves his new job, he could do without the war brewing. He's not ready to lose his new friends or the alliance he and the dragons have been working so hard to establish.

And he's not ready to lose Lisha, the beautiful healer who saved his life when he was poisoned.

Lisha can't stay away from Gideon, even though he probably should. He has no idea how to deal with a human, and with the Saganto clan attacking so many small clans, he's overworked and having a hard time dealing with what he sees.

The Saganto clan won't stop until they destroy the Ogorth clan and anyone who's allied with them, but once the Ogorth clan discovers when the Saganto clan plans to attack, they might have a chance to win.

But it won't be easy.
