Four months from his PhD, a young Shakespeare scholar with a haunted past finds unexpected love on the shores of Lake Michigan. But when a series of brutal murders begins to resemble James Iretonâ??s recurring dragon-dreams, James realizes there may be a very real â??dragonâ? preying in the shadows of his life. Worse, if James doesnâ??t battle his own dragon-like impulses, the woman he loves may prove the ultimate victim.
