Tova’s Dragon
Steamy Paranormal
Romance
By Lyndi Lamont
Seek help of the Lord of Drakkenberg. Only he can aid
you. You must fly with the dragon.
Tova Svensdottir, an earth mage, is on a mission to save
her homeland, the Kingdom of Velosia from the evil wizard Bruno of Grimmdorn.
Her grandmother tells her to seek help of the Lord of Drakkenberg, but the old
lord is dead. In his castle, high on a mountaintop, she instead encounters his
son, the Outlaw Kane.
Kane fled Velosia after a futile attempt to rescue his
father and his mate from Bruno's cruel prison, killing the head guard in the
process. Now that Bruno has been banished, Kane has returned to clear his name,
but his purpose changes when he meets Tova.
Tova's warmth stirs his passions and her courage touches his heart, but
he dreads telling her of his true nature, certain she will recoil. But Tova is
made of sterner stuff.
Together, Kane and Tova have the power to save Velosia.
If they survive the coming battle. But can an earth mage find happiness with a
dragonshifter?
CHAPTER 1
Seek help of the Lord of Drakkenberg. Only he can aid you. You must
fly with the dragon.
Her grandmother’s words rang in Tova’s head
as she climbed the path into the mountains. Why had Mutti Zee sent her out of
her way on a fool’s errand? Everyone knew the dragonfolk had fled Velosia years
ago, driven away by Bruno of Grimmdorn’s crusade against them. Until he’d been
driven from power. Now Bruno had returned at the head of a mercenary army, if
Mutti Zee’s vision could be believed. And Tova had no doubts. She’d felt the
vibrations in the earth.
And somehow she was supposed to save the
kingdom?
She raised her gaze to the sky and asked,
“Why
me? I’m no hero.” The heavens gave no answer, though she saw clouds form to her
left. She shook her head. Now she was talking to herself, like mad Magnus, the
village idiot.

She stopped to catch her breath and rest
her tired legs in a level area. The path ahead grew steeper and narrower the
higher it wound into the mountains. She groaned. After walking all day, her
legs ached. She was glad she’d worn men’s breeches and a tunic with her sturdy boots. A
gown and petticoats would be but a hindrance.
After a deep breath, she started to climb
again. Dusk came early in autumn, and she needed to find shelter before dark.
Castle Drakkenberg, abandoned and
forlorn, perched high above on a cliff, its turrets silhouetted against the
leaden sky. Almost as if mocking her with its remoteness. Too much was at
stake and her chances of reaching the capital in time to warn the king were
slim at best. Even without this detour, she estimated the journey to Castle
Novita would take three days or more.
For centuries, the dragon lords had
resided in the castle, ruling the isolated mountain communities. People in this
area were known as dragonfolk, though Tova knew not why. A great puzzle,
but one she had no time to ponder. With luck, she had
but to find the dragonlord, and he would take charge of the quest.
A shadow blocked the sun, and she looked
up at an enormous bird silhouetted against the sky. Goddess, she’d never seen such
a large raptor. It turned and the sun’s rays glinted on its shiny red-gold
wings and barbed tail. She stopped and stared after it, shaken to the core of
her being.
No,
impossible.
Dragons didn’t exist. They couldn’t.
