When she learns about this urgent assignment, she hates it very much.

Going back to the island at this point in life means Essie has to face the reason which made her move out of the island in the first place. And that reason is none other than Hank Wilson. Hank is described as a 6 ft 3 inch long, egotistical, obnoxious, and perfectly shaped werewolf. He is the one with whom Essie had the best sex of her life. She was left heartbroken when Hank cheated on her and now, she is willing to chew off her own paw than to face her former lover. Hank is often referred to as ‘the Tank’ because of his long height and heavily built body. When Essie had caught him cheating on her, she did what any rational lady would have done in her place. She packed her suitcase, collected enough money for her bus ride out of the island, made big plans for her future, and set off for her freedom with a vow not to return ever. But, all of this goes for a toss when Essie is asked to look into the matter of some missing werewolves on Hung Island. The more she tries to keep her head in one place, the more she finds herself distracted by the presence of Hank Wilson.

She is the dragon princess and is living in exile because her father wants to kill her. He has already killed the remaining members of her family. Dima considers her father a horrible leader of dragons and wants to destroy him. To achieve this goal, Dima forms an allegiance with the dragons who have formed a resistance against the king as she believes they share a common goal.

When Dima’s father began his evil quest for power, he killed Dima’s brother and mother. She was very young at that time, but managed to escape.
