About this audiobook
t's 1915, and sixteen-year-old Lora Jones is finishing up her first year as a charity student at Iverson, a prestigious, gothic boarding school on England's southern coast. While she's always felt different from everyone around her, now she finally knows why: She is a drakon, a rare, enchanted being with astonishing magical abilities. As war hits Britain's shores, and Lora reels from an unimaginable loss, she finds that her powers come with grave and dangerous responsibilities. At the request of Armand Louis, the darkly mysterious boy whose father owns Iverson, Lora will spend her summer at his lavish estate. To help the war effort - and to keep Lora near - Armand turns his home into a military hospital, where Lora will serve as a nurse. For Armand is inescapably drawn to her - bound to her by heart-deep secrets and a supernatural connection that runs thicker than blood. Yet while Lora tries to sort out her own feelings toward Armand, fate offers an unexpected surprise. Lora discovers there is another drakon, a prisoner of war being held in Germany. And that only she, with her newly honed Gifts, will be able to rescue him. With Armand at her side, Lora will cross enemy lines on an incredible mission - one that could bond her to Armand forever, or irrevocably tear them apart.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The writing drew me in and I didn't stop reading this book until I was finished. I couldn't put it down. I am now a fan and will definitely look for other books by Shana Abe.The story is told in dual points of view from Armand (Mandy) and Eleanore( Lora), but every few chapters, there are a few passages from Jesse (as a star), pining for his beloved and trying to reach her with his song. The character of Lora is very strong, her struggle to understand herself and her surrounding did not diminish it. I like her sarcastic view of the high society and her some of her more funny dialogs with Mandy. And liked the triangle of Lora-Mandy-Jesse.I'm really waiting for the next book... because I am so sure that Abe has some surprises in her pockets for us (She plant some hints in this story - Aubrey , mysteriousness red her girl, who will be with whom and such)
