Elara Southerlin, Queen Melgara’s daughter, is finally settling down and accepting the fact that she has the ability to shape shift into a dragon.  Her personal life is settled down somewhat as well with Darrek and Rand granting her every carnal wish.  The tides of their romance are turning because Elara is starting khef, or rather, dragon mating heat.  Khef is difficult at best because every dragon from far and near will be able to smell Elara’s heat.  Because of this it is important that Elara finally pick a life-mate.  Still unable to choose between her lovers, the choice is taken out of her hands when she is kidnapped by a powerful dragon who had been banished from the kingdom years ago.

Just when I despaired of Elara making a choice and breaking either Darrek or Rand’s heart, Sierra Dafoe threw in a complete whammy of a plot to up the ante on the wayward princess.  Book two of the Dragon’s Heir series, Dragon’s Heir is a thrilling and erotic look at one woman’s continuing quest to find her life-mate.  The more I read this series, the more I like it!
