Some people are out to eradicate the Talents (Shapeshifters, Vampires, Sorcerers, etc.). Thus, STORM (Society of Talented Officers Resisting Mistreatment) is created to fight against the preconceived notions of the “normal” majority. Now, they are finally going to come out in the open, using the media as their outlet. The majority needs to see they are civilized citizens of the world.

Megan Armstrong goes to the doctor to get rid of her very vivid, disturbing nightmares. Surely, all of it is hallucination; no one can be that cruel, immorally experimenting and torturing Ricardo, a professed dragon shape-shifter. She naively shares everything with the doctors and, after going through several tests, believes that she has brain tumor. But while talking with one of the doctors, alarm bells started ringing (and a masculine, velvety voice warns her) something is definitely wrong.

Alessandro (Sandro) Gianetti knows Megan’s dreams are real since Ricardo happens to be his brother. He has been looking for his brother for weeks and found out days ago that Ricardo has telepathically connected with Megan. So, he swoops down and saves her from a similar fate to Ricardo.

For whatever reason, Megan has the telepathic talent to connect with Ricardo despite all the security imposed in the clinic. Thus, she is essential to Sandro in finding his brother and exceedingly important to the IRDC (International Research and Development Clinic), a front for the agency responsible for the cruel experimentation and torture of Talents, including Ricardo.

In their quest to find Ricardo, Sandro and Megan never expected the sexual and emotional pull that they strongly feel for each other. He knows he cannot promise Megan any kind of future and tries hard to stay away. But the dangers and life-threatening experiences Megan goes through (and the irresistible draw between them) compels him to stick by her side. Is their undeniable love for each other enough for them to risk everything to find a way to be together?

Lynne Connolly has written another compelling novel. I could not stop reading until I was done with it. Even though it is all fantasy, she draws a very realistic alternate universe. The Talents and their powers are highly appealing. Without sounding preachy, Ms. Connolly also teaches us a moral lesson regarding our human inclination for prejudice and fear of the unknown. It is certainly action packed from cover to cover, and Sandro and Megan are lovable and relatable characters; so are the other secondary characters. I highly recommend this novel and am looking forward to reading the next book.
