The Eternal Hunt

A 52-year-old hunter, the younger dragon who loves her, and a teenage hunter-in-training, all in a cottage in a magical garden (to say nothing of the three elves, eight witches, a sisterly dragon, and the cat sent by a goddess) . . .Diana Barksdale has been a hunter for the Diana Council for most of her life, working as an avatar for the Roman goddess Diana by finding and eliminating those magical creatures who are causing harm. Known only as Barksdale (because what else do you do in a group with hundreds of women, all named Diana?), she’s sacrificed any personal life to serve the goddess’s will. But now she’s been sent on a far more terrifying mission--training a 14-year-old girl.Harrison David has been in love with Barksdale ever since he woke up to find her spear at his throat. As a dragon, loving only one person makes him a bit of an outcast, but, now that his mother the dragon queen has sent him to live with Barksdale and help her train a new Diana, none of that matters. What does is that there’s a threat growing in their beautiful new home, one his dragon senses detect only too well--and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves and their young trainee.Artemis (Miz) Montero’s hope is simply to get through each day unscathed. As a foster child, she’s used to ending up in questionable situations. But a house in a huge public garden where an old woman tells her she’s going to become an avatar for a Roman goddess? That’s not just questionable. That’s crazy!Still, the three of them will need to work together to create a new kind of follower for the goddess. Because there’s something wrong with the Diana Council, and, if they don’t fix it, they may all be dead. Joined by more magical teenagers than Barksdale can shake her bow and arrow at, they’ll have to find a way to heal the land and make several goddesses happy, or they may not live to fight another day.The Eternal Hunt is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe.
