From the Inside Flap

A peek inside Twin Dragons."I won't hurt you," he said in a soft voice. "I just want to talk to you."Mel looked at him in uncertainty. Part of her wanted to shout out YES, PLEASE TALK ALL YOU WANT, while the rational part of her knew that it would be too dangerous. Knowing she didn't have any other choice, she lowered her head and shook it."Please," he pleaded. "I promise not to come closer... well, for now. Can you understand me?"Melina peeked up at him again as he held his hand out. His face was tight with tension. The slight sound of desperation in his voice confused her. He sounded like he really wanted to talk with her.The flash of another image in her mind made her start. The image of a topaz and black dragon snapping and straining made her dizzy for a moment. Raising a hand to her head, she closed her eyes and touched her temple."What is it? Are you ill?" Calo asked anxiously.Melina's eyes opened at the same time as her grandfather stepped out of the office area. She could tell her Gramps was shocked to see Calo standing there. He was probably even more stunned to see that she was as well. "What the hell are you doing in here?" Cal demanded.

From the Back Cover

"What about the things that I saw?" he asked as her voice faltered as she spoke of the two men he had seen at the station. "What about them?"Melina's eyes grow old and sad. "They are known as the Twin Dragons," she whispered. "The Valdier are a dragon-shifting species. I can't explain how, but I was able to change as well.""Was?" Joe asked, studying her face as she stared with sightless eyes out over the headstone covered meadow."I can't feel her any longer," Melina replied in a thick voice. "I can't feel them either. I just feel... nothing."Joe raised his hand to touch her arm. His hand hesitated for a moment before he dropped it back to his lap. He honestly didn't know what to tell her. "What you've told me is incredible," he finally said. "Thank you."Melina rose, stiff and cold from sitting for so long. She turned to face Joe as he rose as well. A light breeze ruffled the collar of his jacket. She smiled up into his dark brown face. "Do you have a family, Detective Manchester?" she asked quietly. "Yes," he replied, startled."Keep them safe and tell them you love them," she whispered. "The universe is a very large and dangerous place. It is also an empty one without them."
