By the end of that training they must also have a Mate, this mate provides the necessary balance. The current team are finding it hard to find their mates. They only have 18 months left to find them. So drastic measures are called for. Kai is the Dragon shifter , that makes him the leader. He decides to get out a globe and a set of darts to find where to look.

Alvena is meeting two of her bookworm friends to go and enjoy the conference. Kai spotted Alvena before she leaves and knows she is his Mate, so he follows her.
Someone is trying to make sure none of the 13 get their mates, by killing the women that are possible matches. When several attempts have been made on Alvena ,Kai must try to get them back to home base ,but there is a traitor in the Dasreach who is sending the assassins to stop them. Alvena and Kai have an exciting cross country trip.

I found the intro and the prologue a little long winded , but you do need to read it. Once I hit the first chapter the story took off. It is an exciting and fun read. The girls friendship shows us that true friends are not necessarily the people you have known the longest or even the ones you see the most. They are the sisters of the heart who love you no matter what.´I am definitely going to read the rest of this series.
