Training at the Undercover Protectorate's Academy is kicking my butt. My sister aced it in a few months-but I'm lagging behind like a three-legged poodle at a greyhound race. I don't want to have to leave my new home in this amazing castle, so I've got to get a grip on my magic. Soon. When thieves steal valuable dragon magic, our whole castle is put at risk. Worse, our friends are dying. It's my destiny to hunt the thieves, but my boss doesn't get that. When she tells me to stand down, I have to listen. And that means our magic keeps weakening, and our friends are closer to death. Unless I ignore my boss... My home and friends are in danger, so I'm going rogue. Fortunately, I've got the sexy shifter mage Lachlan Munroe on my side. Together, we'll race against time to solve this crime of magic.
