Sinopse

A heartwarming story set in a time when computers and mobile phones were still in their infancy.
 
It is almost Christmas, and nearly everyone is looking forward to spending the festive season with their loved ones. But what about those who are facing Christmas alone?
 
Bill and Sally are shy and lonely; left behind when the swinging sixties changed the rest of the country. Will they avoid the holiday season as they usually do, and spend it alone... or will Christmas catch up with them this year?
 
This tender love story takes place during the run up to Christmas, but is enjoyable to read at any time of the year.

    I’m in hostile territory to spy on an evil emperor. I wasn’t supposed to end up in his bed. 
    When four priceless dragon eggs are stolen from my island home of Eburos, my experience with both dragons and espionage make me the obvious choice to go after them. Dragons are my people’s most valuable weapon. Allowing them to fall into the hands of our enemies across the sea is unthinkable. 
    With the help of a small strike team of my fellow misfits, it’s up to me to stop Emperor Kaeto from gaining his own dragon army and completing the mission his father couldn't—conquering Eburos. The problem? As I’m pulled ever deeper into Kaeto’s shadowy world of court politics, nothing is as it seems. The forces I thought I was fighting aren’t the ones posing the most danger to the continent’s fragile peace. 
    They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. That doesn’t mean becoming his lover is in any way a sane idea. 
    -o-o-o- 
    Mistress of War is an enemies-to-lovers M/F epic fantasy with an allo-aro main character and explicit steamy scenes. If your love language involves receiving your enemy’s severed head on a pike, Darra and Kaeto just might be the literary couple for you. 
    As the final series arc in the Eburosi Chronicles, the trilogy is loosely linked to the other Eburosi series by characters and settings. It can be read on its own. Other series set in this world: 
    The Complete Horse Mistress Collection 
    The Complete Lion Mistress Collection 
    The Complete Dragon Mistress Collection 
    The Complete Master of Hounds Collection
