Edge of Darkness is LIVE!!

Blurb:

Sometimes the dragon gods make mistakes.

That’s the best rationale Hudson can come up with. How else can he account for the fact that the one he’s falling in love with is not his fated mate? Getting involved with someone he doesn’t share a soul bond with could be devastating, but Hudson is willing to take the risk. Connie is his and nothing will stand in his way of having him.

Sometimes the dragon gods might be more clever than anyone gives them credit for.

A sassy human stumbles into Hudson and Connie’s life, upsetting their very existence. How can Hudson and Connie have a soul bond to Kit… but not each other? Are the Fates drunk? Or testing them? Dragons are possessive creatures, and that’s before adding in one of them is a thousand-year-old royal in charge of the dragons of San DeLain.

Sometimes it’s better not to question the dragon gods.

But things aren’t always as they appear. Danger stalks the streets of San DeLain in the form of an old enemy once thought dead. What’s real? What isn’t? As Kit struggles with a nightmare from his past, Hudson and Connie try to figure out how to keep their very breakable human in one-piece and happy. Fate is a tricky, tricky thing, and sometimes?
Well, sometimes Hudson has just gotta trust the dragon gods as the darkness edges closer.

This series is the second set of books in the world of San DeLain. There will be three books with the dragons, and this is definitely going to be a slow burn series that stretches out over the three books. Kit, Hudson, and Connie will get their HEA, but I don’t want to rush this relationship.

Since there will be several series based in this world, and each series will build off the last, I highly recommend reading the series in order.

Daemons of San DeLain is first:
Chasing Shadows #1
Shadows Embrace #2
Of Love and Shadows #3

Then the 2nd series is: Dragons of San DeLain
Edge of Darkness #1
Book #2> Coming Soon
Book #3> Coming Soon

Then the 3rd series will be: Gargoyles of San DeLain
Book #1 Anticipated out late 2024
Book #2
Book #3

Fire Court of San DeLain info

  HUDSON’S DRAGON’S

Hudson Redmond – dragon; King of the Fire Court of San DeLain; Hudson’s home is called Redmond Compound. Considered an Ancient by other paranormals mainly because of his age (a thousand years old). His court has 40 members.

Hudson owns a helicopter and can fly it. Did in book #1 Daemons of San DeLain; owns a private jet too which Kage and Austin are using to go to Greece right now

Dragons tend to take what they want, including humans. And yet dragons whined about how their chosen mates often fought them in the beginning. 

A dragon can extend a human’s live by giving them their blood like the daemon do. Dragons are born(hatched) not changed, so you can’t turn a human into a dragon. Dragons can only reproduce with another dragon because they lay eggs. In regard to red dragons: History says mates who are not dragon-born can withstand their red dragon fire.

Race, meaning skin color in human form, does not matter. It’s all about the hair color with Reds.

Dragons only need round 5 hrs of sleep, although they can sleep longer. They just don’t need it.

A group of dragons are called a court..

Hudson collects gold/gemstones (esp rubies)

Dragons have control over ALL types of fire. Like a fire in a fireplace, a flame from a candle, and so on. 

They can breathe fire in either form (Hudson burned a hunter in Chasing Shadows while in human form)

Dragons are magical creatures, so yes, reds can conjure fire in any form and do magic/spells

All Fire Court has shades of red hair and brown eyes. A trait of red dragons in human form 

They also love to fight and are the most powerful of the dragons.
