When I was a little girl, my Ma used to read me stories every night. Some were epic adventures with high stakes and exciting twists while others were of princesses trapped in towers guarded by fierce dragons. The pitiful princess would be stuck inside all day pining for her prince charming to come and rescue her. I always hated those stories. I couldn't imagine why the lazy thing didn't just get up and leave. Ironic since I was now stuck in that same situation. Turns out, when a dragon holds you hostage, he doesn't just let you get up and leave.

Dorothy Valentine is close to getting her PhD in wildlife biology when she’s attacked by a lion. On the bright side, she’s saved! On the not-so-bright side, it’s because they’re abducted by aliens. In her scramble to escape, Dory and the lion commandeer an escape pod and crash-land on an alien planet that has...dinosaurs? Dory and her new lion bestie, Toto, are saved in the nick of time by a mysterious and sexy alien, Sol. On their new adventure, they team up with the equally hot, equally dangerous Lok, who may or may not be a war criminal.

Alle fünfzehn Jahre wird die magische Barriere, die das Böse aus dem Reich Kinnamo fernhält, durchlässig. Die Göttin Myva erwählt dann Champions, strahlende Heldinnen und Helden, um die Monster zurückzuhalten und die Barriere zu erneuern. Gewürzhändlerin Cinnamon wurde auch diesmal nicht auserwählt, den Göttern sei Dank. Sie feiert in der Kneipe den Abschied der neuen Helden, und vielleicht hat sie dabei etwas zu tief ins Glas geschaut. Denn dass sie in dieser Nacht dem Dämon Fallon das Leben rettet, war ganz sicher nicht geplant.
