Once upon a time, a rare white dragon, seven treasure hunting wolf-shifters, and a princess on the run join forces to save themselves and the kingdom from the shadowy schemes of the Grey Enchantress. Jack has three unbreakable rules of survival. One, never reveal his full dragon form. Two, steer clear magic users at all costs. Three, always trust his instinct for trouble. And there's no doubt a princess accused of cursing her own family is exactly the kind of trouble he should avoid. Despite Jack's intention to keep Kynara at arm's length, though, her intriguing mix of vulnerability and stubborn determination draws him like no one else ever has. A fugitive from her own people, exhausted and alone for the first time in her life, Kyn is running out of options. Asking for aid from a band of treasure hunters is a risk, but she has nothing left to lose. To save her family and her kingdom, she'll take any help she can get. Even from handsome, irritating Jack who despises her magic yet throws himself into danger to defend her. With evil Grey Enchantress tightening her grip on the kingdom of Ardell, Jack and Kyn may have to sacrifice everything to stop her.

I picked this up thinking, eh, it might be okay. And it was better.
First, the cons. The editing annoyed me. Too many sentence fragments for sure. A few too many technical errors, which I could have ignored better if I wasn't suffering from the fragments. And frankly, the twists didn't surprise me. The only time I was a little surprised was when a pack of wolves showed up out of nowhere. (Cool!)
The good stuff. The prose was written well enough. The characters were fun. The plot, while pretty standard, at least avoided major holes and was assembled in a decently suspenseful order. I'm making this sound more lackluster than it was. Really, about a chapter in, I told myself, “This is better than I expected,” and settled in for the ride.
Will it ever be one of my favorites? No. Do I feel like I wasted my time? Definitely not. It was fun, and really, some days that's all you need.
