I say my Crossroads Hotel gives the magical a refuge from the world, but things are going too far, too fast. First, Drake, one of the dragons I've tangled with in the past, shows up with a dragon egg, of all things, asking me to guard it from all comers. This is after the sheriff's grandfather nearly wrecks on my front door and begs me for a place to hole up. Not only that, but my grandmother has a new ally, a mysterious crow Changer who might be more dangerously powerful than we know.
When the dragon egg proves to be more important that Drake is letting on, Mick and I embark on a quest to discover who murdered the kid's mother, and what new and dangerous foe will stop at nothing to eliminate me, Mick, and my friends and family--to obtain the egg and begin the destruction of all dragon-kind.
