After an incredibly daring, dangerous and forbidden jaunt into the night, dragon shifter Jacinda is, for her own protection, secreted away from the pride. Her mother and totally human sister, Tamra flee into the night taking Jacinda against her will to a new town and a new life. Jacinda's mother has repressed her draki and feels Jacinda must as well in order to survive. Even in the desert which quickly kills off her draki self, Jacinda fights this edict. She sneaks out at night to shift and she pursues a boy, Will (someone who saved her from hunters in her previous life). The desert air suppresses her draki senses but Will brings them out. It is dangerous to be with Will because she cannot control her dragon when she is excited and/or aroused. So he is a constant threat to her, her family and her pride. Of course, this doesn't stop her. It all comes to a head when Cassian, the prince of her pride and her forced mate, comes to town to bring her back to the pride.

This is an exciting book from beginning to end and kept me turning pages to see when and where Will was going to find out Jacinda's secrets. Not a unique concept but well put together. I liked the fact that Jacinda is a dragon who can transform into a human and not the other way around. I'm very interested in seeing where this story leads. I don't particularly like Cassian but then again his only hang time was as the bad guy so maybe he has some redeeming characteristics. I really liked Will and hope he features in the next book. But her sister, Tamra is a selfish witch and her mother, while trying to do the best thing for Jacinda, is slowly killing her.
