    About this ebook

    Revenge may be cold, but vengeance burns white-hot.

    Cold was not Kamdyn's style. Never had been. Never would be. She was the daughter of Evan McGregor, heiress to the Power and Magic of a hundred centuries of unstoppable Witches, and no one, not even a cold-hearted, thieving murderer, was going to take it from her. She would watch him burn and leave his ashes for the Elements.

    If it hadn't been for that blasted Dragon…

     

    Be careful what you wish for.

    Wishes and dreams were for other people. Callum learned at a young age to make the most of the hand he'd been dealt. Life was tough, but he was tougher. As the son of one of the most revered Guardsmen of all time, he would take what he wanted and make no apologies.

    Go down with your sword in your hand and no regrets in your heart was the O'Shea family motto, but this Dragon had no intentions of going down and regrets. Well, they just weren't his style. Come to think of it, neither was being careful.

    If it hadn't been for that infernal Witch…

     

    Secrets revealed, rising passions, and an enemy they never saw coming force this couple to accept their Destiny and fight side-by-side to save all they hold dear.

    Will it be enough? Will they be in time? Will this be the first time Fate will be denied?

    This Dragon may be down, but he's definitely not out - or is he?

      DRAGON DOWN

      Revenge is a dish best served cold.

      Cold was not Kamdyn’s style. Never had been. Never would be. She was the daughter of Evan McGregor, heiress to the Power and Magic of a hundred centuries of unstoppable Witches and no one, not even a cold-hearted, thieving murderer was going to take it from her. She taken her family from her, then watch him burn and leave his ashes for the Elements.

      Revenge may be cold, but vengeance burns white-hot.

      Changing from Dragon to man as he descended into the darkest corner of the forest behind the Lair of the Blue Thunder Dragons, Callum O’Shea’s feet had just touched the ground when a grumbled, Where the hell have you been? Nearly knocked him on his ass.

      Spinning towards the sound, sword drawn and the enchanted lightning he’d inherited from his mother dancing along his fingertips, the brilliant blue Dragon was prepared for battle as another voice chuckled, Way to go, Doxie. Just had to scare the young’un, didn’t you? Now he’s gonna hit us with that crazy ass lightning of his.

      Lowering his sword and pulling back his Magic as he recognized two of the oldest Guardsmen of his Clan, Callum tried hard not to laugh as the ancient one they all called the Mad Dragon groused, He better rethink his plan. I was taking down bigger men than him before he was little more than a twinkle in his daddy’s eye.

      Laughing out loud, the Guardsman known as Kayne, who also happened to be the son of Lugh, the Celtic God of the Sun, teased, Simmer down there, Maddox. Calysta will kill me if you end up a French fry. Heavens know that woman scares the crap outta me.

      Although he laughed along, Callum felt a pang of jealousy at the mention of the Mad Dragon’s Mate. It made him think of Wolfe, one of his best friends, who’d found his Mate not so long ago and was now living in North Carolina.

      I’m so damned happy for him…really I am…

      And he was. Callum wanted the best for his brethren…all of them. The Goddess knew there was nothing as important to a Dragon, especially one of the Universe’s chosen warriors – a Guardsman, as finding the one woman in all the world who completed both man and Dragon - heart, soul, and mind. It meant he could have children, would have many, many more years on Earth and when he’d drawn his last breath would ascend into the Heavens with his one true love to live out eternity with those who’d gone before him. No one deserved it more than Wolfe, but it didn’t stop Callum from missing him.

      There was no denying how much the big blue Dragon loved his Mate or how she brought the much-needed light to his soul, especially since the idiot couldn’t keep his thoughts shielded to save his life. Even thousands of miles from the Lair, every Guardsman within their Clan felt the incredibly special bond Wolfe shared with his Dragoness, Dannika. It had become the running joke with all the Guardsmen. Callum had lost count of the number of times he’d shown up for training to find a group of his brethren laughing and retelling some sappy event Wolfe had let slip through his mental blocks.

      It was funny. There was no denying it, and Callum laughed along with the rest. But then when he was alone, in the wee dark hours of the night when his mind would wander, he couldn’t help but be jealous…and it pissed him right off. It was a weakness he absolutely detested.

      Why can’t I just get over it? Wolfe’s my brother. I want the best for him, and that’s what he has. I need to get a grip. Get a hobby. Find that damn…

      Are you paying attention, young’un? Maddox’s snarl pulled Callum from his thoughts. I’m talking to you. What the hell were you doing out flying with that damn big moon shining bright in the sky and not even one single cloud for cover? Are you trying to get yourself killed or worse yet, caught?

      Rolling his eyes, trying to hold his temper, Callum countered, No, I was looking for something.

      You were looking for something? Maddox stepped forward, his growl growing more ominous with each word as he repeated, "You were looking for something? Turning to Kayne, the Mad Dragon nodded his head towards Callum and with a healthy dose of sarcasm asked, Did you hear that? The mighty Callum O’Shea was looking for something?"

      Shaking with anger, tired of being questioned, pissed off that he didn’t have one of his best friends to talk to and ready to be rid of the lot of them, Callum opened his mouth to tell the Mad Dragon to go straight to Hell but never got to say the words. In the blink of an eye, Maddox spun around, sped forward and while grabbing the electric Dragon by the collar of his light green T-shirt bellowed, "I don’t give a damn if you were looking for a pot of gold at the end of a gods’ damned rainbow, no one flies without permission and never alone!"

      Fury, white hot and vengeful, filled every fiber of Callum’s being. How dare he be questioned? Who the hell did Maddox think he was? Sure, he was older than dirt itself, but the Mad Dragon damned sure wasn’t the younger Guardsman’s father or for that matter, even his friend. Maddox was a cranky old Dragon who thought he knew everything, thought people should do as he said without question and had a nasty attitude no matter of the day or time, but the old man knew nothing. As far as Callum was concerned the Mad Dragon needed to be knocked down a peg or two.

      The brilliant blue Dragon, Terrwyn – one of the original Dragon Kings - roared in the younger Guardsman’s head, demanding to be set free, to face the challenge issued by another of his kin. The power Callum had inherited from his mother, Charity – the High Priestess of her coven of white Witches - combined with his pure white Dragon Magic making, it feel as if fire was racing through his veins.

      Mystical electricity popped and sparked in the atmosphere. Bolts of lightning and a phantasmagoria of mosaic patterns filled his vision as Callum raised his hand right a split-second before Kayne dove at the Mad Dragon roaring, Get back, Doxie.

      But it was too late. Maddox had gone too far, pushed too hard, stepped over the line of no return. With barely a coherent thought, Callum zapped the Mad Dragon with a powerful pop of his power and stood smiling as Maddox sailed ten-feet straight through the air, landing ass-over-tea-kettle at Kayne’s feet.

      Glaring at both ancient Guardsmen, the electric Dragon growled, the fangs of his Dragon lengthening in his mouth, making his warning rumble more Dragon than man, "I will do what I want when I want. He stepped forward, sparks still exploding all around him. Now, I’m going home. Do. Not. Follow. Me"

      Slowly turning towards the Lair, Callum stalked into the darkness of the forest, reveling in the feel of the raw power still building within every cell of his body. It wasn’t until the soles of his boots hit the wooden planks of his front porch that the true gravity of what he’d just done hit him.

      Crossing the threshold and slowly closing the door, the electric Dragon took a deep breath, counted to ten as he slowly exhaled before unceremoniously plopping down on the couch. Letting his head fall back, he stared at the ceiling as he sighed, Well, Wolfe is always saying go big or go home. Guess I did both tonight. Wonder if I’ll have any scales left on my backside when the old Mad Dragon gets done with me…

      "W hat do you mean we’re not doing the ritual? We have to do the ritual!" She screamed at Terran’s back, growing more enraged
