The confessions of the dragon Peter DelaSangre continue four years after the murder of his beloved wife.

From Booklist

At the close of The Dragon DelaSangre (2002), dragon Peter DelaSangre had just seen his wife, Elizabeth, killed, but was able to save their child, Henri. Four years later, Henri is a precocious, adventurous child, and Peter is thinking about remarrying. The woman he wants is none other than Elizabeth's younger sister, Chloe, who is about to come of age. Peter and Henri journey to Jamaica, where Peter hopes to find Chloe and claim her as his bride. When it finally comes time for Chloe to take a mate, Peter rushes to her side, but she initially rebuffs him. Undeterred, Peter continues to pursue her until she gives in to her feelings for him. (Her family is none too pleased when they discover her choice.) Peter assumes all obstacles to marital bliss are behind him, but a shocking betrayal puts his fortune and life--and his son's--in jeopardy. Despite a slow start, the novel picks up speed when the odds against Peter stack up. A rousing adventure tale worthy of its predecessor. Kristine Huntley
