YA
Jacinda's mother relocates the family far from their pride of draki, dragonlike shape-shifters. Struggling to assimilate into human life and fearing she will lose the ability to shift, Jacinda finds solace in a relationship with Will--whose relatives hunt draki for sport. This star-crossed supernatural romance occasionally gets bogged down in awkward dialogue and self-indulgent angst, but lyrical descriptions of draki experiences soar.
