Fake: Dragons of the Crossroads Book 1

By Lori Saltis

What would you leave in San Francisco: your heart or the blood of your enemies?

Penny Sparrow had two fathers, brilliant musicians and skilled thieves. As members of the Crossroads, a secret society of supernatural warrior clans, they lived by magic and luck, until the night they disappeared.

Her fearful mother remarried and dragged her halfway across the world. Now Penny's trapped in San Francisco, forced to live a fake life with a tyrannical stepfather, her magic smothered, and her life on hold. What she needs is an ally with some firepower.

Then she meets Lennon Lau.

Heir of a powerful dragon bloodline, he was destined to rule the Crossroads until murder tore his family apart. The suspects? Those closest to him. Determined not to be their pawn, he fled to the mean streets of San Francisco.

Penny and Lennon soon discover they both want the same thing: revenge.

The problem is, a dragon prince and a lowly waif from rival clans can't be friends, especially when they start catching feelings for each other. Their families will do anything to keep them apart. Too bad. They'll burn down the Crossroads to avenge the dead.

But will they also perish in the flames?

Fake is the first book in the thrilling Dragons of the Crossroads series. If you like hidden magic, hidden identities, secret societies, found family, demisexual and gay main characters, and dragons, you'll love this urban fantasy adventure by Lori Saltis.
