They are running from the Pushgans and a fire breathing dragon that has a secret. Will she and Jayket survive the trip to Zalvanus?

D'Akola the Strong, Guardian of Zalvanus, is a man at night and a dragon by day for the past three years since he was cursed by Shivrane the sorcerer. Since that day he has lived the loneliest life ever imagined. He was wounded and rescued by Suniko and Jayket. While healing the sparks fly between the three of them and some dreams will come true. Now they must travel to Zalvanus before they are captured by the Pushgans. Will they make it to Zalvanus?

Daisy Dexter Dobbs has continued this series with another winner. Dragon by Day is the second book in Ms. Dobbs’ Valiant Hearts series. D’Akola, Suniko, and Jayket’s love story is a very compelling tale, and that will have readers coming back for more. Ms. Dobbs thrills readers with the unique twist in this fabulous story. I enjoyed Dragon by Day, and I cannot wait to see what she will come up with next.
