Four centuries ago, Snow White led the combined armies of Human, Dwarven, and Dragonkind against the evil sorceress, Queen Umbra IV. Together, the allies carried the day, and the newly-crowned Queen Snow presided at Umbra's execution. Normally, that would have been the end of the matter.
Now, that hard-won peace is threatened. When three Dragon eggs are stolen, Detectives Jennifer 'Red' Hood and Glinda Locke have less than two days to find the thief. If they fail, the Dragons will burn an innocent Human village to ashes in retribution. As time grows short and the body count rises, they discover the eggs are just part of a broader scheme. Worse yet, all the evidence suggests that Umbra isn't as dead as everyone thought she was.
Armed with their wits and a lot of coffee, Red and Glinda set out to rescue the eggs, unravel the mystery, and prevent Happily Ever After from collapsing into a nightmare of blood and terror.
The hottest fire forges the best steel. And Dragonfire is True Flame.
This story had all of the elements that make for a great story: relatable characters, mystery, struggle against injustice and corruption, and frustration. It rent my heart as I felt their pain and longed for them to have the happily ever after they deserved. I considered Bryan a friend, though we never met in what most people like to call the real world. This book, his last word, was his greatest triumph.
