HEART OF THE DRAGON

Heart of the Dragon - image 1


Dear Reader,

Since the first title in my Atlantis series, Heart of the Dragon, was published in 2005, Ive been asked how I thought to combine the lost city of Atlantis with the creatures of lore. The answer is simple: what if. What if the gods hid their greatest mistakes inside Atlantis and thats why its buried under the sea?

That single question branched into a thousand others, each more intriguing than the last. What if a dragon shape-shifter is forced to guard the portal that leads to his home, tasked with killing anyone who enterseven the woman of his dreams ( Heart of the Dragon )? What if a modern man is sent inside the forbidden city to steal its greatest treasurewho just happens to be a beautiful female he cant resist ( Jewel of Atlantis )? What if the king of the nymphs can seduce everyone he encountersexcept the woman he loves ( The Nymph King )? I hope youll join me on these journeys through Atlantis, where the creatures of myth and legend walk, peril lurks around every corner and forbidden passions ignite. Even readers familiar with the books might find a few new surprises in these slightly revised versions!

And be sure to check out The Vampires Bride, my newest tale of Atlantis, where I answer the question readers have been asking for years: what if the villain in all those earlier stories, the vampire king who has tortured and hated and warred, got a story of his own?

Wishing you all the best,

Gena Showalter

HEART OF THE DRAGON
PROLOGUE

Atlantis

D O YOU FEEL IT, BOY ? Do you feel the mist preparing?

Darius en Kragin squeezed his eyes tightly closed, his tutors words echoing in his mind. Did he feel it? Gods, yes. Even though he was only eight seasons, he felt it. Felt his skin prickle with cold, felt the sickening wave of acid in his throat as the mist enveloped him. He even felt his veins quicken with a deceptively sweet, swirling essence that was not his own.

Fighting the urge to bolt up the cavern steps and into the palace above, he tensed his muscles and fisted his hands at his sides.

I must stay. I must do this.

Slowly Darius forced his eyelids to open. He released a pent-up breath as his gaze locked with Javars. His tutor stood shrouded by the thickening, ghostlike haze, the bleak walls of the cave at his back.

This is what you will feel each time the mist summons you, for this means a traveler is nearby, Javar said. Never stray far from this place. You may live above with the others, but you must always return here when called.

I do not like it here. His voice shook. The cold weakens me.

Other dragons are weakened by cold, but not you. Not any longer. The mist will become a part of you, the coldness your most beloved companion. Now listen, he commanded softly. Listen closely.

At first Darius heard nothing. Then he began to register the sound of a low, tapering whistlea sound that reverberated in his ears like the moans of the dying. Wind, he assured himself. Merely wind. The turbulent breeze rounded every corner of the doomed enclosure, drawing closer. Closer still. His nostrils filled with the scent of desperation, destruction and loneliness as he braced himself for impact.

When it finally came upon him, it was not the battering force he expected, but a mockingly gentle caress against his body. The jeweled medallion at his neck hummed to life, burning the dragon tattoo etched into his flesh only that morning.

He crushed his lips together to silence a deep groan of uncertainty.
