Book description
Half dragon, half woman, can she save her friend's soul - without
losing her heart? Mercy Wilson is a reporter in the San Francisco Bay
Area, but she's also more - and less - than human. Half woman, half air
dragon, she's a 'draman' - unable to shift shape but still able to
unleash fiery energy. Now something will put her powers to the test.
Mercy's friend Rainey has enlisted her help to solve her sister's
murder. Then a horrible accident claims Rainey's life, leaving Mercy
only five days to find the killer. If Mercy fails, according to dragon
law, Rainey's soul will be doomed to roam the earth for eternity. But
how can Mercy help when she herself is a target? With nowhere else to
turn, she must join forces with a sexy stranger - the mysterious man
they call 'muerte', or death itself, who's as irresistible as he is
treacherous. But can even Death keep Mercy alive for long enough to find
her answers? Keri Arthur recently won the ROMANTIC TIMES Career
Achievement Award for Urban Fantasy and has been nominated in the Best
Contemporary Paranormal category of the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice
Awards. She's a dessert and function cook by trade, and has one
daughter.
