Ben Garston has lost everything he held dear, including the love of his life. Still, at least he escaped the clutches of a malevolent spirit bent on total destruction. Now Red Ben just wants to drink, and forget, and drink some more. But he can't. Not yet. Because someone is stirring up trouble. Someone who wants to unleash a powerful ancient magic that could bring the realm of mythology crashing into the modern world. If Red Ben fails to stop them, the world will burn -- and that's the last thing he needs on his conscience.
A bridging novel Many years ago man and the magical creatures that share the world came to a pact, that a select group would stay on earth and the rest would sleep. Most of humanity has forgotten and the magical creatures hide out. Ben Garston is one of those magical creatures, a dragon and really all he wants to do is drink and forget the past and the girlfriend he had to leave but no, the folks who enforce the pact have plans and one of them includes killing him.He has to work with other magical creatures who have their own agenda. The fate of the world is in their hands but how to save it is a problem.
It's interesting with modern world and mythology clashing and characters trying to do their own thing. It's also a bridging novel so I think a lot of it is involved in setting up what will come. Interesting but needs the prequel.
