Angry with her Wyvern Green Dragon mate Drake for betraying her again, Demon Lord Guardian Aisling Grey moves to London so that her mentor Nora Charles can train her, as much as to get away from her estranged spouse. Her demon familiar, Jim the Newfoundlander canine is disgusted with Aisling and Drake, as their on and off relationship is making him ill.

However, Drake follows her as they are pledged to one another. Meanwhile, the imp populace screams for vengeance against her because Jim snacked on their ruler. They try assassination, but when that fails they declare war, which brings a protective Drake back in her life. Aisling reflects that having a hunk like Drake to make love with proves more satisfactory than reading the guardian handbooks and technical manuals. Besides, she must deal with the imps and try not to remove any more toes from Jim.

Once gain, Aisling Grey will fire up readers with her amusing asides that reflect on life amongst the paranormal. The storyline is fast-paced, as the heroine seems to figuratively boil an ocean to make a hot drink, while everyone seems to want to either slay her or protect her. Fans will appreciate the war with the imps, that hide a deeper more dangerous assault on Aisling and those she cares about. Once again, Katie MacAlister provides a humorous fantasy.
