Sophie Cameron is a no-nonsense veterinarian dedicated to saving animals but unprepared to find a fire-breathing dragon in her front yard. He disappears before she can truly react. The dragon is real, and Balor, ancient one-eyed god ejected from Avalon, recognizes the Pendragon. It has landed by Sophie's house, so she must know something about the magical lost sword he desperately needs to regain power. The woman has no chance of surviving. But Balor doesn't count on the involvement of a medieval warlock whose mission is to find the sword and return it to Avalon. When Sophie meets Michael McCain, a roguishly good-looking man who has a natural kinship with animals, she has no idea her world is about to explode.
