Mending the Dragon's Heart

As an omega dragon from a noble family, a seer matched Lake at a young age to an alpha dragon. Lake was content with his match and looked forward to a happy life with Norbert. When Norbert died in a freak diving accident, Lake's heartstone was broken and thrown into the ocean with his former betrothed's body. It was an ancient tradition that the court imposed on Lake. Then Lake was locked in a tower, and he began to fade away with grief for his betrothed and the loss of his heartstone. Lake's brother Skye is a seer who arranges his escape to the human realm. Lake meets with a rescue team at a human bar to be taken to a haven. The seer in that community has had luck matching dragons to new heartstones. At the bar, Lake is saved from a human by Boone from the rescue team. Boone and Lake are drawn to each other, and Lake feels safe and cared for by the alpha Boone.

Boone and his team are used to saving omegas. Boone and his twin Durango were born into a large family of dragons who work as bodyguards. Boone and his twin were dropped into the human realm with their heartstones intact, but they had to find each other because they were dropped separately. They were lucky to find each other and to meet Cain. Cain is a seer who created a haven for dragons and other shifters in the human realm. Boone expected this mission to be a typical rescue, but he is drawn to Lake. It turns out that they are destined mates, but their future is uncertain if Lake does not bond with a new heartstone. If I keep going, I'll spoil the whole book, lol.

I loved Lake and Boone's connection throughout the book. Reno and Durango were so interesting, and I hope we get books about them finding their mates. I want to explore the community a bit more, but I get that Lake and Boone were the book's main focus. I would love to get Cain's backstory and see how his haven began. Overall this was another fantastic Minerva Howe book. I love the new take on dragons with the heartstones.
I'm looking forward to the next book.
