Prince Kaeleron is more than just a prince, behind those misty blue eyes lies a secret that only his family knows, he has the ability to transform into a fearsome dragon. His mother insists upon secrecy, but after a late night flight, an eagle eyed thief recognizes his unique eyes. Vitani saw those eyes once before, when she was fleeing from the palace after a thwarted attempt to steal a rare and valuable item from the castle vault. Rather than be repulsed by the prince and his secret, Vitani finds herself captivated. The two have a bond that they can't escape, no matter how hard the queen tries to keep them apart. They soon find that the castle is more filled with foes than family and must fight to remain together. Filled with adventure, magic, betrayal, and romance; this short story fantasy (less than 150 pages) will appeal to readers who are in the mood for a good fantasy novel without wanting to commit to 400+ page book or long series. As an added bit of interest, Karen D. Perry is a Johnson County author, who calls Whiteland her home. This is her debut novel.
