Sometimes what protects us also traps us. She longs for a better future. Avery Tanglewood is tired of turning her life upside down for the sake of others. After years of putting her family before her own needs, the time has come for her to spread her wings, even if she isn't sure what she wants to do with her life. If only she were brave enough to face the consequences that the truth will bring.

He is a prisoner of the past. For hundreds of years, Xavier has used his dragon magic to protect his Highland clan in a bubble hidden in time and space, known as Builgean. Thanks to his unique magical abilities, generations have enjoyed peace and prosperity while being cut off from the modern world. But when a rogue in fairy form captures him and claims his throne, his sanctuary becomes a prison.

Can they free each other from the chains that bind them? Avery agrees to travel there to persuade Xavier to help with the crisis in Paragon, but instead, she encounters a mysterious stranger – a problematic complication considering she cannot leave the bubble without Xavier's help. Worse still: although she frees the imprisoned dragon, he refuses to help her until he regains his land and clan. And the more time Avery spends in Xavier's world, the harder it becomes for her to remember why she should return to her own world.
