About the author
Rebecca Goings
41 books24 followersRebecca Goings has loved romance all her life. Always the romantic, she would frequently invent
love stories for her dolls and critters before realizing she should probably write them all down.
Bitten by the writing bug at the tender age of seven, Rebecca never once looked back as scores of
short stories and poems kept her company throughout her childhood.
In high school, she shared her stories with her friends, who became her first fans, demanding she write at least one new chapter a day lest they stage a coup. It wasn't until after Rebecca got married
that she tried her hand at writing a full-length novel. After many long years, she found the courage
to submit her work and now finds herself a multi-published author at several publishing houses.
Rebecca resides in Portland, Oregon with her husband and four children, who are the light of her life.
A native Californian by birth, but a native Oregonian at heart, Rebecca loves the Pacific Northwest
and never plans on leaving.
Her dream is to host a book signing at Powell's City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world, located in the heart of downtown Portland.

What would you do if you were told by a dying loved one that you weren't completely human? Would you chalk it up to temporary insanity or would you take it to heart and investigate? Interesting question and one that I personally wouldn't know how to respond to, but it's exactly what attracted me to this story.
Alana's life is forever changed when she decides to "humor" her dying grandmother. The life she lead is not at all as it seemed and by taking a leap of faith, she plunges through a magical mirror and right into something out of a story with castles and dragons. Now Alana must face this fantasy world as her new reality and as the betrothed to Crown Prince Rion. Suppressed early memories begin to resurface of her time on Dragoran, as well as the rekindling of an innocent love she'd had for Rion since infancy. Unbeknownst to her, her unique abilities and position in the Dragoran realm puts her in danger of by another dragon clan. It's a race to see who will claim Alana as their Kindred first.
Ms. Goings provided a beautiful setting by taking us to the land of Dragoran where magical creatures take to the skies in amazing colors. I'd like to make mention that the character names are fantastically original and you'll have to read the story to know what I mean. Alana is a very likable character and she embraces the changes to her life with much more grace than I would have. The romance is very sensually written with bursts of passion throughout that will excite any fan of romance. I love being able to immerse myself in a story and that is exactly what this book does. The surrounding details, imagery, and plot points were very well established and creatively clear. There is only one drawback - once you start this story please note that there is an ending and it does come much too quickly.
Recommended reading for those of us who would love to have the ability to fly.
