Six-hundred years ago, Genevieve Beaufont stole a dragon egg and buried it. Now it's time for that egg to finally hatch. It's time for Gen Beaufont to be the rebel she always dreamed of. Gen, a resident of fifteenth century England, finds herself stuck in modern day America—all because she was overly curious and followed strangers through a time travel gate. Two things have always gotten Gen in trouble: her curiosity and defiance. But times have changed, quite literally. Those traits could save her life.

Gen Beaufont has quickly made some powerful enemies. The Commissioner of Los Angeles wants her dead. Since killing her might get him in trouble, he's decided to resort to other means. When Gen is framed for a crime she didn't commit, she finds herself in a dangerous game. Not only does she have to prove her innocence, but she's got to dig up evidence on the Commissioner—showing that he’s the villain behind all the major crimes in Los Angeles. But Charlie Sloane is already one step ahead, planning the biggest attack on the city yet.

A dangerous man is on the run, with nothing left to lose. And more than anything he wants Gen Beaufont dead. She's the one who exposed him for who he is and ruined him—exactly as he deserved. The Rogue Riders have never been more disorganized and split. They need a leader. They need direction. They need a medieval warrior who knows how to fight for justice in brand new ways. The Rogue Riders need Gen Beaufont. The world needs her and the ruler of dragons to step into the leadership roles they were made for. Only they can take the reins and restore balance between good and evil.

Gen Beaufont might be from fifteenth century London, but modern day Los Angeles is her home. And corrupt politicians are trying to destroy her city. Somethings never change, no matter how many centuries tick by.

Gen Beaufont is charged with discovering the truth since she already has a lead on the case. The person behind this is suspected to be the true evil that will push Gen into her ultimate role. This will be her finest hour as she unveils her first real nemesis and the biggest threat to magic.

In six hundred years, one thing hasn't changed . . . Crooked politicians still exist. But Gen Beaufont hasn't changed either—she still fights for justice, no matter what. Although Gen is from the medieval era, she understands the politics of the modern world. When the Rogue Riders become divided by their own principles, things really get dangerous. If those meant to protect are at odds with each other, is there any hope for the citizens they are meant to protect?

One war. One world. One woman. It all comes down to that. It always has. Genevieve Beaufont just never knew she'd decide the fate of the planet. Somethings are better left as a secret until the very end.

A war unlike any other has started. Genevieve Beaufont is the only one who can end it. What happens next will decide the fate of the world. Magicians and mortals have battled for ages.

If Gen Beaufont can't save him, then her people will perish.

The worst villain any Beaufont has ever faced has just stepped out of the shadows. Genevieve Beaufont can't hide from the evil that's unveiled itself. And no one can believe who it is. It has been foretold that when Gen's true nemesis revealed themselves that this would launch her into her ultimate role. It is time for this medieval warrior to rule over the world of magic—having ultimate domain. Besides from the gods, who started this all, no one is more powerful than Gen and her dragon, Emperor. That's why one man wants to stop her. Gen simply can't have her title. She must fight for it.
