Series Description or Overview[]

Shimmer, a blue dragon shifter from the Dragon Reaches, makes one little mistake. She tries to steal from a family of white dragons—some of the greediest, nastiest dragons to be found at the top of the world. As part of her punishment, the Wing Liege strips away some of her powers and sends her to Seattle, where she is indentured to work for five years at the Fly By Night Investigations Agency, run by the Wing Liege's friend. There, she must answer to Alex Radcliff, a vampire who gives Crocodile Dundee a run for his money.

Considering themselves part bounty hunters, part investigators, the FBNA take on all sorts of odd and—often—dangerous cases, ferreting out paranormal criminal activity. They go after those who break the rules of the Supe world. When Shimmer joins the agency, she and Alex immediately discover a mutual disdain for one another and end up butting heads harder than a pair of goats. But sparks also start flying, a fact neither one wants to admit, especially since Alex is dating a very possessive succubus.

Unable to leave her position, unwilling to beg the Wing Liege for forgiveness she knows will not be granted, Shimmer reluctantly makes the attempt to adjust to life in Seattle. Amidst a flurry of bad dates, conflicting customs, and learning how to coexist with FBHs, OW Fae, and Supes of all sorts, she finds herself beginning to make friends and build a new life in an almost alien world.

This series is set in the same altaverse/time frame as the Otherworld Series, and in the same city, so there will be crossovers here and there.

FLIGHT FROM HELL will be a crossover novella introducing the FBN characters to the D'Artigo Sisters, however the first full length novel (which will be readable even without having read the novella) will be FLIGHT FROM DEATH and it is scheduled to release during June or July of 2015. ~ Yasmine Galenorn's Books

World[]

About Dragons: But all dragons are cunning and brilliant—with rare exception. They all tend to be out for themselves and even if they help mortals, they will have some gain at stake. Most dragons can be shifters if they choose to do so, but some take to it more easily than others. White, silver, red, green, and black dragons are the ones most likely to show up in human form. Dragons are exceptionally tough, in either form, and terribly strong, but are not invulnerable, and can be hurt. The Dragon Clans date back hundreds of thousands of years and each family that has lasted this long is firmly established within a hierarchy.

Dragons can fly in their natural form. All dragons breathe fire but not all work fire magic. It takes but a moment to transform but they must be in a space large enough to allow them to. They are ultra-strong and grow stronger through the years. Dragons, in human form, have hair that moves on its own. Dragons have magic, but just what depends on what kind of dragon they are. Dragons have exceptional hearing When enraged in human form, their fingernails become claw~ More:  Moon Stalker Wiki Page
