The Danask Circle is a coalition of beings with magic who hunt down evil beings of their kind. Jon, a shapeshifter who turns into a hawk at will has come to Tauron Bay to find out why so many teens have mysteriously vanished. Within two hours of his arrival, he is shot with an arrow and falls into a well. Jon astral self is sent to Maddie Smith, a woman who at first believes he's a figment of her imagination.

When her nephew disappears, Maddie is convinced that Jon Barnell is real and she goes to rescue him. She believes he is the key to finding her nephew and though she is right, Jon puts them both in danger trying to track the evil beings kidnapping the children connected to Tauron Bay. During their hunt, they fall in love with each other but Jon is afraid that his dangerous job will prevent them from forming a permanent relationship.

CIRCLE OF FIRE is an exciting paranormal romance starring two characters that are easy to like and admire. This work is the first in a new series starring at least one member of the Danask Circle. If this book is a true example, this might be one of the most popular paranormal series in the twenty-first century.
