"Rowan stole a dragon's moonstone and ran. He didn't plan to keep the baby too—but five years later, he's hiding in a basement, feeding the kid fake gold chains because Leo only eats real gems. At a charity gala, Leo escapes his backpack, chews Asher Drake's priceless signet ring off his hand, and crawls under his table. Asher finds his son—a tiny dragon with his exact face, raised on junk food in a damp box. The most dangerous ancient dragon in North America expected a thief. He found a starving mate and a dragon heir who eats diamonds. His first move? Drop the boy on a mountain of gold and say, ""Eat."" Then he turned to Rowan and said, ""You too."" He didn't come to punish. He came to collect what was always his."
