Publisher's Summary

An elite forces officer with a dreadful reputation. A bookish paleontologist with a love for mysteries. An ancient stronghold full of secrets that will take both of them to unearth.

Professor Lilah Zirkander (yes, she's related to the famous pilot, and no, she can't get him to autograph your undergarments) is looking forward to a summer in the paleontology lab, researching and cataloging new fossils. But that summer takes an unexpected turn when the king sends her into the Ice Blades to a secret mine where ancient dragon bones have been discovered. Rumor has it that they're cursed and dangerous, but Lilah is more concerned about dealing with the outpost commander, a fierce officer with the temperament of a crabby badger.

As punishment for irking the king, Colonel Vann Therrik is overseeing the hardened criminals working in the remote Magroth Crystal Mines. He would like a chance to redeem himself - and escape the loathsome duty station - but nothing is going his way. Cursed fossils have delayed production, miners are trying to escape, and now a scientist has shown up, making demands on his time. Worse, she's the cousin of his nemesis General Zirkander. As if one Zirkander in his world wasn't bad enough.

Investigating the fossils leads Lilah and Vann into the depths of Magroth Mountain where centuries-old secrets lurk, and a long-forgotten threat stalks the passages. To have any chance at survival, they'll have to work together and perhaps learn that neither is what the other expected.

Shattered Past is a stand-alone novel set in the author's Dragon Blood world.

Yay!

Wow I love this series! Really happy to see more about the history of the country. Found this one a little bit more obvious in the romance plot but love to see Van get a happy ending and deepen his character.

another good one

This was an excellent aside from the Dragon Blood series. by itself it would be ok but if you haven't read the first 7 books in the series do that first. having the background to the characters in this episode makes it that much more enjoyable.

To Van

Even hotheaded people deserve a happy ending. I love the Take that Lindsay did on his story and him falling in love. And the loyalty he has to a new woman. If you’re looking for another reason to read about Sartell and Ridge, this is the perfect novel right before book number eight.

More explosives, dragons and magic.

Van isn't one of my favorite characters, but it was still good getting to know him better. I did enjoy getting more back story for Sardel's peoples history and what happened to them. Still a good read even if it wasn't my favorit of the series.
