Henrietta ‘Henri’ Laselle lives a quiet life in Kansas City, Missouri—or so it seems. While Henri looks like the average girl next door with an animal hoarding problem. In reality, Henri is half-witch, half-alien who runs the only animal rescue in the galaxy. With a pygmy kraken in her fish tank, a talking bear who hogs the tv, and a quantum portal in her basement, life for Henri is never boring.
Until the day someone steals her pets. Someone not from this Earth. Left with no other choice, Henri leaves Earth and ventures deep into cosmos, searching for answers. A chance encounter leads her to a possible solution. Orion Worldkiller; criminal, murderer, prisoner, out-of-this-world attractive, and a giant Dragon.
Orion Worldkiller offering to help Henri find her pets is the last thing she expected, but she has no other choice. Stuck in a spaceship at the far reaches of the galaxy, Henri fights both her growing worry and her newfound feelings. The closer they get to saving her pets, the harder she falls for Orion.
When their mission goes haywire, Henri and Orion are taken prisoner and forced to compete in a deadly tournament against vicious monsters. Even worse, they’re cut off from their magic. Henri’s only hope to save her pets is to win the tournament--even if it means risking an intergalactic war.
The fight for survival—and for Henri’s heart—is on, and Dragons do not fight fair.
