In Carina's Sought By The Alphas Serial, we were introduced to the Dragon Queen, Gwynne and her two Dire Wolf Alpha mates, Rauth and Lachlan, and their twins. In this series, the twins, Lilliana and Rohan have come of age and are ready to experience life but possibly not quite so eager to accept their destinies. Lilliana knows her duty as Princess of the Dragon Queen, is to perform the "Ritual". She like her mother will have not one but two mates, neither of which will be chosen by her but by combat during a tournament hosted by her two fathers, but there's one " little" problem. Lilliana like her mother has the ability to time travel. She travels to the year 2015 where she has been attending college and although she misses her home in the year 1369, she loves her life in London and is especially drawn to a certain mysterious and handsome young man in her history class who seems determined to discover her secrets. But Lilliana knows a relationship with the charming Connor is not possible. Or is it? Connor has always known he was different. Some people call him clairvoyant but his grandmother told him his gift had come from his ancestors, a great tribe of Scottish Lords who moved between human and animal forms - shifters. Some of them had powers like his, a second sight or other abilities that could only be imagined by humans. What? He always thought it to be just a myth to explain his strange talent. After all, the Scots always did enjoy a good legend and that's all it is......Right? Now he keeps having visions of a beautiful young woman and he knows he must find her...must be with her....the beautiful Lilliana, as pale and perfect as the Lily she asks to be called. He doesn't yet know how, but he must learn her secrets....and no matter the cost, he must have her. Unfortunately dragon shifter, Graeme Ramsey may have other ideas. He is from Lilliana's time of 1369 and has entered the tournament to win the honor of becoming her mate but so has a multitude of other shifters. Huh? Oh my! But malevolent intentions are revealed to Connor through his psychic abilities and unforeseen events begin to unfold at the tournament which bring immediate danger to our three brave heroes. Lily must quickly summon her power to transport Connor, Graeme and herself into the future, present day London. As the three struggle to survive, a friendship and strong bond is born and both males now seem more determined than ever to do whatever it takes to win Lilliana's heart and perform the Ritual with her regardless of the risk and danger it may pose. And our lovely innocent Lilliana discovers that she has feelings for both Connor and Graeme and the desire she feels for both roars to life within her. Oh my! New allies are found and an age old enemy, The Stranieri is revealed. The Stranieri (Strangers) have not only surfaced in London but have now evolved and are also capable of time travel where they pose as much a threat in the past as they do in the present. They seek to annihilate all shifters by killing our three heroes and destroying the Dire wolves in the past. Our unlikely triad must acclimate themselves to this time, to each other and to this threat, and find a way to work together to defeat The Stranieri. But in order to enhance their abilities and gain the strength needed to accomplish their task, they must perform the Ritual. Are all three strong enough to survive? If they fail, it could mean the extinction of all shifters, in the past, the present and the future! The Stranieri have made their move and are determined to destroy our three heroes, at any cost. But who is the mysterious leader of the malevolent Stranieri and why are the Stranieri so determined to stop the bond between Lilliana, Graeme and Connor? What dangers lie ahead in Scotland for our fearless threesome and why does the Stranieri want Connor so badly? What other secrets lay hidden in Connor's ancestry? Oh my! Is it possible for a human from the future and a dragon from the past to ever become the mates for the Dragon Princess? Is it even possible for Connor to survive a Ritual with two dragons? And if by some miracle he does survive, just what will he be and what abilities will he possess? Will the bonds of love, loyalty and devotion be strong enough to defeat an enemy as old as time itself? Or will our three young lovers be torn apart by evil and time itself? Hmmm.....I wonder?
