Summary

Lambda Literary 2022 Lesbian Romance winner

Golden Crown Literary Society 2022 winner in the following categories:

  • Romantic Blend
  • Ann Bannon Popular Choice
  • Tee Corinne Cover Design (Em Schreiber, cover designer)

A chance encounter. An unforgettable night.

And back home, trouble is brewing on the remote island of Three Dragons, where nothing feels like it used to. Alone and lonely, Sam Threadneedle wishes upon a star, hoping for change. But when said change comes, it's with a roar and not a whimper.

Torn between loyalty and lust, Sam is forced to reevaluate everything.

Can she and the Home of Dragons withstand the storm that is Magdalene Nox, or will any and all crumble?

Not everything is as it seems, and as she slowly unravels the mysteries behind the centuries-old walls, Sam realizes that home is much more than oak and stone.

Contains mature themes.

Absolutely loved it!

One of my favourite lesbian love stories to date.
Absolutely adored the moving, evocative and compelling novel. Furthermore, the narration by Abby Craden brought the entire tale together so incredibly well.
Would highly recommend!

Really enjoyed it not sure why I put off listening to it!

I’ve seen this book on my recommended list for I don’t know how long and I was always a bit put off thinking it was supernatural or something! It is not! It is good! Get listening!

Great story, good amount of “adult themes” throughout and Abbey Crayden is perfect as always. Onto the next book in the series now!

Thank Goddess for Milena McKay! 🔥❤️

I’m a Milena McKay stan. This is a very (VERY) well-written book. Read it. Need I say more?
Abby Craden is perfect. Her voice for Nox is her sexiest voice yet! 🥵🔥

McKay and Craden are a winning combo. This book will sit amongst my favourites! 🖤

Three Dragons?

I can’t believe I resisted listening to this for so long because I thought it was a fantasy fic. Mainly due to the references to three dragons. But I was so, so wrong. It’s a brilliant piece of writing brought alive by the stunning narration of Abby Craden. If I have one very small criticism, it’s that the voice of Magdalene Nox (whilst incredibly sexy) made some of the dialogue a little difficult to hear for someone (myself) who has a hearing problem. (Guess I’ll have to buy the book as well.) Sublime.

Abby’s voice as the ice queen headmistress

My second read (listen) from Milena McKay and what a great read too! I love McKay’s storytelling style. The story is utterly engaging with wit and humour interwoven throughout and I adore the main characters. Sam a gentle sweetheart, Magdalene sooo hot! Just wow and Lily with her sass.

I actually worked out what was happening very early on in the book but it didn’t lessen my enjoyment. And Abby Craden as Magdalene just phew!
