Plot Summary of Dragonswan
"Channon is a brilliant scholar who seeks to unravel the mystery of the dragon tapestry her museum holds. She meets Sebastian, a mythical being called an Arcadian who has been sent forward in time from the middle ages to steal the tapestry that Channon so cherishes. Before too long, Channon finds herself stuck in the Middle Ages and mated to Sebastian, who has been exiled from his own race. As the mystery of the tapestry is unraveled, another race, the Katagaria, threaten to find the happiness Channon and Sebastian have found. Chronologically, this is the first book in the Dark-Hunter series."
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar
