Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.

Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer

What do you do when you are one of the infected?

The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions, taunting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own.

Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness and must be avoided at all costs.

Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test.

Is there a way for her to hide her true identity in this new world while retaining her humanity?

Desperate to keep her magic hidden, Katerina goes to great lengths to avoid dragons and mages. When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon.

    *   *   *
Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery.

When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped. But magic has rules, and when you free a dragon mage, it creates magedebt that they must repay, lest their magic fade.

Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages.

Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans. He has no desire for a rider, but when his childhood sweetheart shows up, she won't consider courtship unless he has one.

As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans.

Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of.

But all magic has a price, and to become a rider, she'd have to forfeit her freedom.
