Maxxus by Celeste Raye
The weredragons’ planet is dying. What will rise from the ashes?
Maxxus has become the new king of Talonia. He must earn the trust of his people. It will be difficult, because his brother, the former king, was loved by all. Making matters worse, the planet is losing it’s paradise status. Volcanoes aren’t just dormant; they’re dead. The waterfalls are dull and losing their energy restoring powers. Soon, the citizens, who look to him for answers, will be starving. He must ask for help from the one place he would rather not, Earth.
Josie’s father once saved Earth from destruction and it is to her that the other scientists turn when Maxxus calls for help. Eager to prove herself as valuable as her father, she accepts the challenge. Gathering a crew, one who has already been to Talonia, she sets out to save the mighty weredragons. She becomes involved in a battle of wits with the stubborn, hard headed king, who is wary of humans. She sees inside his tough shell and can’t help feeling drawn to his soul.
Maxxus finds himself confiding his deepest feelings to a stranger, a human. It is disconcerting, to say the least. How could he be closer to a stranger than his own family? As the planet begins to lose it’s battle, Maxxus finds his heart melting. A few random words, heard by accident may ruin his life. Will he lose his one chance at love and his entire planet as well over a simple misunderstanding?
