Hear the conclusion of Rafe and Rowan's story.
If you haven't heard the beginning of their story, look for Night Fire in Ophelia Bell's catalog.
Rowanâs fallen in love with a dragon, and itâs left her spinning. Her new lover belongs to a race she never even knew existed until Rafe came into her life. The worst part? Sheâs just discovered that sheâs a dragon, too, her true identity magically hidden from her for her entire life by her unknown parents. Her entire life crashes down around her in the face of the knowledge that the lover who showed her who she was doesnât really love her.
On the run from the overwhelming discovery of her origins and the heartbreak of Rafeâs rejection, Rowan stretches her new wings to the point of self-destruction. She has to make a decision: rejoin humanity and reject her nature, or embrace her race and help them overcome a millennia-old set of laws. But none of that matters to her without Rafeâs love.
Meanwhile, Rafe is destroying himself over the regret of not telling Rowan how he truly feels, but dragon law would not have allowed him to mate another dragon. He hunts the farthest reaches of the Earth to find her, hoping that she will agree to help their race, but longing even more to finally confess to her whatâs truly in his heart.
Breath of Flame and Shadow is the sixth episode in a series of novellas that include all kinds of fun kinks involving shape-shifting mythical beasts who breathe magic smoke and have very long, prehensile tongues. It is intended for adult audiences.
