Cain is on the run. He's about to lay his egg, which means handing it over to his king and never seeing it again. He's wanted to be a father for too long, though, and he's ready to do anything to keep his baby. Hogan isn't what people would call a friendly person. He's growly and snappish, but only when it comes to those he doesn't like—which is most of the Ogorth clan. When he punches yet another dragon, he's sent off to patrol the forest around the palace, and he stumbles on Cain. Cain had no idea he was in Ogorth clan territory, but he's relieved he won't have to lay his egg alone. He doesn't expect to find a home with the Ogorth clan, or with Hogan. Life is good as Cain and Hogan grow closer, but Cain's old clan finds out where he is, and they demand him and his egg back. Will the queen keep her promise to keep him and his baby safe, or will the dangers to her clan be enough for her to give in? Will Cain lose everything he gained and never thought he would have, or does he have a chance to keep living his dreams?
