I wake up after I'm knocked out fighting the creatures ... but I seem to be in the past.

Is this some trick of Emmett’s to get his hands on the magic mirror? I must band together with Mick, Cassandra, Nash, Gabrielle, Coyote, Grandmother, Elena, and the dragons—to thwart this greatest of magics before it splits us into fragments and leaves the world vulnerable to the most evil of evils.

Welcome to the Crossroads, where dragons, witches, shape-shifters and other magical beings are real and the paranormal is normal, in this award-winning series by Jennifer Ashley w/a Allyson James. I’m a Stormwalker—which means I can use the power of storms to work some wild and wicked magic. I’ve opened a hotel in a little town in the desert, where powerful vortexes house dangerous and evil beings that I need to make sure stay put. When I’m attacked one night on the open road, an innocent bystander is killed—cousin of the local sheriff, who’s not too happy with me. I try to warn him of the continuing danger, but he’s curiously oblivious—for reasons I find out later. The attack also alerts my on-again, off-again boyfriend, Mick, the man I made myself walk away from years ago. Now he’s back, and I have to decide whether to give into my intense cravings for him or continue to fight alone. The trouble is, incredible evil is rising, and I’ll have to trust Mick, the sheriff, my estranged family, a mouthy magic mirror, and the drifter who calls himself Coyote to battle forces that will unmake the world if we don’t stop them. But if we win, will they allow me to exist with the fiendish twist of power that lies within me?

Welcome to the Crossroads, where dragons, witches, shape-shifters and other magical beings are real and the paranormal is normal, in this award-winning series by Jennifer Ashley w/a Allyson James. My day bursts into chaos when a Changer charges into my hotel, attacking me with a message spell. I have to obey the message, whether I like it or not. But that’s okay, because it’s from Mick, my dragon boyfriend, guiding me to Death Valley where he’s been imprisoned by the Dragon Council. Rescuing him takes all my strength, not to mention the wild magics I inherited from my evil-goddess mom, plus Nash, the sheriff who’s impervious to magic. But once Mick is free, he tells me he’s bound to the Dragon Council to appear at a trial for breaking dragon law. He’s already been found guilty, and now they’ll sentence him, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll let him live. Forget that. I’ll do anything in my power to keep Mick safe from the sticks-up-their-dragon-tails Council, even if it means letting forth my goddess power, and challenging the likes of Coyote, all my new friends, and even Mick himself. On top of this, a stranger who stayed at my hotel got himself murdered, and I have to figure out who did it as well as stop the guy, who keeps stubbornly coming back to life. It’s always something at my Crossroads hotel, where magic is real, and the paranormal is normal.

I say my Crossroads Hotel gives the magical a refuge, but things are going too far, too fast. First, Drake, one of the dragons I’ve tangled with in the past, shows up with a dragon egg, of all things, asking me to guard it from all comers.

Not only that, but my grandmother has a new ally, a mysterious crow Changer, who might be more dangerously powerful than we know. When the dragon egg proves to be more important that Drake is letting on, Mick and I embark on a quest to discover who murdered the kid’s mother, and what new and dangerous foe will stop at nothing to eliminate me, Mick, and my friends and family to obtain the egg and begin the destruction of all dragon-kind.
