Ruri faces the usual high school issues: pushy classmates, annoying teachers, and…waking up with dragon horns?! Just after starting high school, Ruri gets hit with the biggest reveal of her life—she’s a dragon! After releasing a burst of electricity during class, Ruri officially has her next dragon trait: electrostatic discharge! But not everyone wants to be friends with a dragon girl. Can Ruri soften up a steely classmate? Or will her attempts go up in flames?
"When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, however
improbable, must be the truth..." Arthur Conan Doyle - On the banks
of the river Thames a massive new building is being completed. A
stunning creation of glass and concrete that will be a new landmark
on London's skyline. And people are dying because of it... Dozens
of mysterious unexplained accidents have claimed the lives of
workmen during the construction and journalist Jessica Anderson is
convinced that the owner of the building, a billionaire Russian
businessman, knows more about the accidents than he is revealing.
Enlisting the help of a former colleague, Jess tries to investigate
the shadowy industrialist but finds that far harder than she
imagined. Protected by a private security force and cocooned by his
entourage, this powerful man proves to be as elusive as anyone she
has ever known. He values his privacy and seems willing to go to
any ends to protect it. But what is he hiding? As she delves into
his background she discovers that one of his ancestors lived in
London during the 1930's on the same site where the Crystal Tower
was constructed and death and destruction surrounded that ancestor
too. Is there a link between these two men? Jess is convinced there
is and when a series of horrific attacks and murders take place,
perpetrated against men who want to stop the Russians next building
project, she finds herself plunged into a maelstrom of fear and
events that threaten not just her life but her very sanity...
Something from the darkest reaches of myth and superstition has
been unleashed upon a modern world and it seems no one can stop
it...
