Lady of the Drake is a whimsical story about what ifs and what can be, A girl who believes and the magic that surrounds her.Lana, a healer for her village, is constantly going deeper and deeper into the forbidden forest to find medicinal plants for the health of her village.. She has spent her life wandering the forest trying to discover all it's hidden secrets and yet still respecting nature's bounty. As we meet her, her village is on the verge of dying out.. consumed by a disease that is sweeping the country. She knows that if she can find the perfect herb, she has a chance on healing her village..Going deeper than she ever has before she meets the mysterious keeper of the forest, Alaron.Alaron is willing to help her for the promise of keeping his secret and keeping others out of his forest. Over time and several clandestine meetings the two fall in love.. Alaron has secrets that must be revealed before the two can proceed in their relationship and once the secrets are told, Lana has choices to make.This story promises magic and mystery as well as the promise of greatness. It is a story of choices, yes I know my favorite kind. Choices to cling together or move apart. Whether love can prevail or if it's not enough. Whether Lana can accept not only what Alaron offers but what he is. It moves along at a fast pace and has plenty of wonderful moments in it.I will remark that this is an extremely erotic story and readers must be aware that the loves scenes can be quite graphic and sometime gratuitous. I know that sounds redundant, shouldn't sex be gratuitous? The sex seens can be explicit and occur frequently and sometimes with secondary characters so they are quite frequent. Don't let that keep you from taking a chance on this book as it is a compelling story as together Alaron and Lana forge ties that save two races.. I would suggest taking the time to enjoy this book as the story draws you in and helps you remember the wonder of magic
