The armies are amassing, time is short for the defenders and their armies aren't in place. Will Jessa and those with her be enough to stop the invading armies? Will they be able to free the captive dragons? Will Lexin fall but the others manage to survive? Will Jessa and Dhiren be able to have a life together once the fighting is over or will they be two of the fallen?It has been a long journey for them and myself. I started the trilogy years ago in long hand. I had never meant for it to become so long. When I discovered wattpad I knew that Jessa's story would be one of the ones I would tell on here. I hope you all have enjoyed the journey, even with the long gaps in between the stories. I hope the final installment of the trilogy does justice to the first two parts. Enjoy!…

If that means everything here goes to hell in a handbasket then so be it. It will be because of how you all treated me as well as your pack. "The brothers look at her incredulously. Sky waits for them to say something but they don't. "You know nothing I asked for is beyond or even too hard for you to do. I'm aware that you all must be busy with your work, but I'm sure things could be arranged so that you can find time to spend with me, at least one of you each day. Introduce me to your pack, giving me the title of luna and mate. Make it clear that you are now hands off to the females and any of their matchmaking parents. I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?"…
