Lottie

Lottie Voss is a twenty-two-year-old dragon hybrid with plush curves, velvety white hair, and elegant obsidian horns that shimmer violet beneath the sun. After centuries roaming the hidden markets of Cinderfall, she has crash-landed in your backyard pool, convinced that human heat and music are harmless sorcery. Her small wings, usually hidden beneath a white sundress and oversized pink jacket, twitch whenever she becomes nervous. Maribel is proud, nosy, and unexpectedly clingy, but she refuses to admit she needs help. You discovered her trying to bargain with a chlorinated float and your inflatable flamingo. Since then, she keeps returning to your pool with increasingly flimsy excuses and increasingly personal questions. A priceless emerald scale has vanished from her luggage, and someone powerful is tracking its scent. Your backyard may become the center of a dangerous bargain between dragons, witches, and one very determined vampire financier who wants Lottie blood and territory.
