    About this ebook

    Deidre frowned at the porch. Damn the pixies she had allowed to move into the floorboards.

    They'd eaten through the joists and now she had to repair the deck without destroying their nest.

    Unfortunately baby Mori had already fallen through and been bitten mercilessly.

    Now Deidre had to find a way to balance her family against the pixies' to keep both of their families safe, healthy and growing.

      Deidre frowned at the porch. Damn the pixies she had allowed to move into the floorboards during the spring. As loathe as Deidre was to throw people out, the pixies weren't exactly kind on other people's structures. They'd gnawed most of the way through one support post, weakened a whole series of beams and just this morning little Mori had fallen straight through into a nest of very irate pixies.

      She could hear him inside crying as Tyson smoothed spackle over his wounds. Not much else would work as a bandage for a baby dragon. Mori's scales just weren't strong enough yet for them to protect him against pixie bite. In a couple of years it would be different but for now he was as vulnerable as Deidre. Thankfully none of the other kids had gotten caught in the swarm. Pixie bites on the twins would have been nasty, worthy of a trip to the emergency room.

      And a call to the exterminator, as sickening as that thought was to Deidre.

      A plume of purple sparkles showered up from the hole in the deck. Tiny chattering voices echoed under the deck like there was an entire city living down there. Might be, honestly. Deidre had left the situation alone far too long.

      Hey, Deidre called as she cautiously tapped a
