TWICE TEMPTED Serena Donovan left London six years ago, her heart broken and her reputation ruined by devilishly handsome Jonathan Dane. Now, with her family's future in peril, she reluctantly agrees to return to England and assume her late twin's identity. The price?

They are all elements of the Narnia Chronicles, The Faraway tree, The Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings and a bit of Enid Blyton fun.” – Mid-Day newspaper “The Last of the Firedrakes is a fantasy novel that will entrance young adult and adult readers alike… Political intrigue, danger, and deep characterization make for an interconnected epic, enthusiastically recommended for high fantasy connoisseurs.” – Midwest Book Review “This book is one of those fantasies you want to live in simply because the characters and pace of the story are so very compelling. I fell in love with Aurora and with her plight to understand the circumstances surrounding her parents’ deaths amd the visions she’d recently been having. One of Oomerbhoy’s biggest strengths is her captivating descriptions… This story was completely enjoyable, and engaged me from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classic fantasy.” – Amber K. Bryant, author of Blood King, winner of the Margaret Atwood Writing contest “The Last of the Firedrakes is one of my favorite reads this year… I loved this story. The characters were endearing, and I rooted for Aurora as she struggled to develop her powers and gain confidence… This story is such a fun read. I highly recommend you to check it out!” – Sarah Benson, author of Born of Shadow “The Last of the Firedrakes was one of the very first fantasy books I have ever read. The feisty heroine, Aurora, hooked me immediately! I loved watching her blossom throughout her journey. She is a strong and likable character, yet makes mistakes like every young girl. The vivid detail in this story made me feel as if I was part of the magical world of Avalonia, and I enjoyed the action incorporated in every chapter, especially the forbidden love budding between Aurora and Rafe. This is a must-read for every lover of fantasy. I am really looking forward to book 2.” – Darly Jamison, author of Strawberry Wine, winner of the Write Affair contest
