Dragos Cuelebre is no longer the only dragon.

Dragos’s son Liam Cuelebre (a.k.a. Peanut) is springing into existence, reminiscent of the first of the Elder Races who were born at the beginning of the world. At just six months of age, he has already grown to the size of a large five-year-old boy. He can read, write in complete sentences, and his math skills are off the chart.

A white dragon in his Wyr form, Liam also holds more Power than almost anyone else. In an effort to give him a taste of normality, no matter how fleeting, his parents Pia and Dragos enroll him in first grade.

They hope school will help teach Liam how to relate to others, a vital skill that will help him control his growing Power. But school has a surprising number of pitfalls, and relating to others can be a tricky business.

When a classmate is threatened, Liam must quickly learn self-control, how to rein in his instincts, and govern his temper, because there’s no doubt about it—he is fast becoming one of the most dangerous creatures in all of the Elder Races.

This isn’t a romance but a little story from Liam’s point of view, the son of Dragos and Pia, the primary couple in the Elder Races series. Liam, AKA Peanut, is an adorable mix of precocious child and powerful shifter. His game of spy Wyr is cute but how he deals with bullies at school is pure shifter. I liked this glimpse into Dragos and Pia’s family life. Series fans like me will have to read this short novella but other readers will be lost as to why it even exists since it’s not a romance at all.
