Origin
By AJ Sherwood & Jocelynn Drake
Spells n’ Scales, Book 1
Cameron wants to make it clear that he did not go into the festival to find a dragon mate.
Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn’t his, Germany seems like the best place to find himself.
So how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan?
Cameron blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, king of the Fire dragons. His fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right?
It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he’s landed in, Cameron realizes that perhaps this is where he’s meant to be, magic and mates and kidnapping and all.
Turns out coming to Germany wasn’t an escape but his awakening.

The realization hit him like lightning. Was he actually surrounded by dragons right now?
Turning his head, he looked at Alric as he never had before. Who was this man, really?
Alric seemed to read the thought on his face as he smiled a little. “Pieces falling into place?” His expression became solemn as he bowed his head to Cameron. “I am Alric Burkhard, King of the Fire Dragons. You, sir, are in the heart of Fire Dragon territory.”
“Well,” Cameron’s mouth irreverently spat out, “I can see why you’re so sure dragons are still alive.”
Alric barked a laugh, his eyes crinkling up in an adorable way. “Indeed. Why don’t you come in? I still owe you a tour, and I think you want to sit down again.”
“Yeah,” Cameron agreed faintly. “Sitting down. Great idea. Let’s do that.”
“This way, please. Ravi, if you’d put the car away?”
“Sure.”
Cameron went where Alric led, turning and orienting toward a side door he could see on the opposite side of the rather massive courtyard. Well, that made sense, didn’t it? The courtyard would have to be huge in order to accommodate a dragon’s wingspan, or several dragons coming in and out all at once. Cameron felt like he’d stepped back in time, seeing the little nicks and clawmarks in the grey paving stones from where claws had dug in. Striding along with the dragon king at his side, who was dressed in modern clothes, didn’t seem to dispel the image much.
There was a suspicious sound behind them that may or may not have been a car being physically lifted off the ground.
“You scratch my paint, you buy the car!” Alric called over his shoulder.
Ravi didn’t even sound concerned. “Pfft, like I’ve ever scratched your paint.”
Cameron couldn’t help but peek over his shoulder. Ravi had literally lifted the car up, hauling it like an over-sized toy toward…the garage, he assumed. So, dragons were insanely strong. Check. Don’t piss off a dragon.
