"Legend claims when Scotland fell to English rule the Highland dragons took a vow: Freedom at any price. The war may be over, but so long as English magic controls the Highlands, not even a dragon laird can keep his clan safe. What Cathal MacAlasdair needs is a warrior fierce enough to risk everything, yet gifted enough to outwit an enemy more monster than man. What he needs is Sophia. Alchemist Sophia Metzger traveled to Loch Arach in search of knowledge. She never dreamed she'd learn to do battle, ride through the stars on the back of a dragon, or catch the eye of a Highland laird. But as her quest turns to sizzling chemistry and inescapable danger, she'll soon discover the thrill of being caught in a dragon's claws..."--Page [4] of cover.

Add a CommentSophia Metzger is a Jewish scholar and alchemist on a quest for knowledge and dragon scales. What she doesn't expect when she requests said scales from an imposing Scottish lord is for their owner to ask for a favor in return: save his friend, who is literally dissolving after a spell from an evil magician. With a hook like that, who wouldn't be ready for some adventure—and to learn a lot about Medieval alchemy! (Of course, this is still a romance novel, so be ready for some well-crafted chemistry and the slowest of slow burns to make you anxious and endear you to the pair all at the same time.)
