Found as a newborn on the mist-laden shores of Loch Morar, Isla grew up surrounded by unanswered questions and a sense that something deep within her awaited awakening. From her earliest memories, the loch seemed to call to her, whispering secrets she could not yet understand. Dreams haunted her nights, and a persistent feeling of not belonging never left.
The truth, when it finally comes, changes everything: Isla is the last dragon-born—a being created through sacrifice, shaped by ancient magic, and hidden from a world that once hunted dragons to extinction. Her awakening ignites danger from every direction, drawing the attention of secret human orders and creatures older than memory itself.
Enter Draeven, the last dragon guardian, bound by centuries of grief, duty, and a promise made in blood. Eight hundred years in waiting, his arrival marks a turning point in Isla’s life. Their connection is immediate, intense, and consuming. What begins as protection soon transforms into something far more powerful—and far more forbidden. In a world where dragons do not love without consequence, every choice carries weighty repercussions.
Daughter of the Loch: The Awakening explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the costs of love in a way that challenges the conventions of both fantasy and romance. It’s a story about finding one’s place in a world that fears the extraordinary, and about the bonds that cannot be broken, no matter how dangerous they become.
The novel combines the sweeping magic and high stakes of epic fantasy with the intense emotional depth of a romance that is anything but gentle. As Isla navigates a world filled with ancient prophecies, hidden enemies, and forbidden desire, readers are drawn into a narrative that tests loyalty, courage, and the limits of the heart.
Beyond the romance, the story also delves into the mystical origins of dragons and their complex interactions with humans, exploring themes of heritage, power, and the enduring struggle between fear and understanding. Every turn of the page uncovers new layers of intrigue, danger, and moral complexity, making Daughter of the Loch: The Awakening a captivating read for fans of dark fantasy, paranormal romance, and epic adventure.
This installment sets the stage for an entire series, introducing a richly imagined world where magic is both a gift and a curse, and where love can be as dangerous as any weapon. Readers will meet unforgettable characters, experience heart-stopping action, and confront questions about identity, destiny, and the true meaning of power.
Available now on Smashwords, Daughter of the Loch: The Awakening invites readers to immerse themselves in a story where the past is never truly buried, and where the fire of destiny refuses to fade.
