    About this series

    The mage uprising has been put down, but it wasn't enough. Dragons have become aware that humans can arm themselves with weapons deadly to even dragonkind.

    Dragons are living in fear of humans for the first time in living memory, and they hate it.

    The war has arrived. Lord Boneclaw will lead the armies of dragonkind to decimate humanity. Their aim is to slaughter billions, thus bringing the threat back under control.

    Only one thing stands in their path.

    Kristen Hall and her people haven't fought so hard and so long to stop this war only to allow it to happen anyway. She will stop this threat the same as she has the others-no matter the cost.

    Even if it means going toe to toe with the dragon she's most afraid of, the dragon who almost killed her in a dark cavern.

      Dragons rule the world. Their claws are into every aspect of human life, from government to industry. But Kristen Hall is about to throw a wrench into all of that. Because she's a dragon, too. She just doesn't know it . . . yet! A dragon raised by humans, in the human world. After graduating from the police academy, she's dropped right into the ranks of Detroit's elite SWAT team. A rookie, in SWAT? Unheard of. But what the dragons want, they get. The reasons behind their machinations become clear as her dragon powers begin to surface. Will Kristen rise to the challenges her new life delivers? What designs do the dragons have for her future? And perhaps most pressing of all-how did she come to be a dragon with human parents?

      Kristen Hall grew up a human-but she's not. She's a dragon. And dragonkind will never be the same. She's achieved some mastery over her powers and even defeated an enemy dragon. But nothing she has done has prepared her for what's coming next. Kristen has been invited to join Dragon SWAT-a force of dragons which serves to keep order among their species. But not every dragon is happy with the status quo; some see humanity as a threat which should be eliminated. They're not alone. A growing number of humans feel the same about the dragons. Forces are moving in the world to bring both races into a final conflict. The prize? Survival of their species and control of the Earth. Powerful humans and dragons are playing chess with the future of the world. But Kristen was a piece none of these beings anticipated. She could swing the balance of power in either direction. The Steel Dragon has plans of her own, though. Armed with the sense of honor instilled in her by her human parents, she's going to have to dig to the bottom of the mysteries at play if she hopes to have even the smallest chance of averting a catastrophic war!

      Kristen has come fully into her dragon power. And just in time, because enemies are gathering. A war for control of the planet is brewing-one which would devastate dragon and human alike! The Mage assassins are no longer content to hide in the shadows. Their day has arrived, and they will rise to remake the world into a place without dragons. First they will need to contend with the Steel Dragon, either by drawing her into their web-or killing her. Kristen has proven herself a hard target to take down, again and again. But when offered a choice between the survival of humanity and dragon kind, how will she choose? Blood, or family? Maybe she'll pick neither. Maybe Kristen will elect to forge her own path, to make her own destiny. But if she does, she will face opponents from both sides! That's OK with her. But she'll need every ally and friend she's met, if she's going to unravel the centuries-old schemes finally coming to fruition and stop the war before it can kill everyone she's ever loved and destroy the world in the process.

      The mages push Earth closer to a war that no one can win. Kristen and her team are all that stands between them and the utter annihilation of everyone she loves. But the mages may not be the worst threat she has to face! In the shadows, someone lurks, manipulating others for his own gain. The Mage assassins are no longer content to hide in the shadows. Their day has arrived, and they will rise to remake the world into a place without dragons. But before she can deal with the hidden adversary, Kristen has to stop the mages from kicking off a war. They are determined to bring humanity and dragon-kind into conflict, no matter the cost. She has the team. She has her dragon powers. Kristen even has the backing of the Council. But winning the battle to end the war will still take everything she can bring to bear, and then some! And even that might not be enough.
