Danny O’Riordan likes women. He never gave a guy a look. Then he has a vision of a past life in which he’d had a male lover. Now he’s not so sure. Should he try it?

Of course, that’s not the only problem. There’s a war going on, and being Liegeman to the King puts Danny squarely in the middle of the politics of two worlds, Earth and Avalon. Adding a romantic relationship to the mix could be explosive.

His lover from that previous life has been reborn as Mordellir, the ruler of the Tengri Empire. The Dragon of Heaven is the most powerful person in his world. Will he want Danny back once he knows he’s been reborn? If he does, how far will he go to get his way?

Danny knows he shouldn’t get involved with the Dragon of Heaven. Aran hates the Tengri. If Danny yields to temptation, can he balance his obligations to Aran with the feelings he still has for Mordellir?
