1. Fire is Life
'Fire is life', said Jewel Grace. 'That's why I want to sommuon a dragon.'
'Do ... what?' I said, staring at the cute granola chick in the aisle seat me as if she were a crazy person. The gypsy-chic Bohemian had caught my eye from the start of ouf flight out to San Francisco: wry, curvy, curly-haired- and, from the way she surreptitiously checked out not just my tattoos and my Mohawk, but my breasts, a probable lesbian - but for the first two hours, i'd no time for flirting. I'd been preoccupied comforting my newly adopted were tiger daughter on her very first airplane ride. After Cinnamon finally fell asleep, Jewel and I started talking, and she'd seemed sane, until now; but who knew what bad wires lay beneath that mass of copper curls? 'I'm sorry, I thought you just said -'
'Fire is my life', said Jewel, stretching out lithe arms, making her intricate leather and chainmail bracers jingle- and making my eyes follow the deft movements of her delicate hands.
'I'm a professional fire magician, and I'm traveling the world, trying to summon a dragon.'
Jewel caught me looking and smirked -but then her eyes flicked to my bare, tattooed arms, gazing with delicious indecency ant my masterwork: a vast tribal dragon, my totem animal, a glorious, colourful, intricate tattoo covering half my body.
Roused by her attention, the Dragon stirred to life, sliding over my skin like magic.
No, not just LIKE magic; my tattoos ARE magic.

Résumé
"Thank you to the powers-that-be for the opportunity to be one of the first readers captivated by Dakota Frost and her magical tats. Addictive, sassy, sexy, funny, intense, brilliant." --Bitten By Books, on Frost Moon
"With Blood Rock, Anthony Francis's Skindancer series becomes one of my favorites."--Book'd Out, on Blood Rock
Magical tattoo artist Dakota Frost is back--fighting a fire that may burn down the world.
For millennia, ancient factions of wizards have closely guarded the secrets of liquid fire--distilled from the blood of dragons and the magical key to unbelievably powerful spells.
Now, Dakota's flirtation with a fireweaver while visiting San Francisco engulfs her in a magicial feud. Forced to defend herself with her masterwork, a powerful dragon tattoo, Dakota becomes the target of superstitious magicians who believe she's summoned the spirit of a dragon . . . the first step in an incredibly dangerous spell that could create more liquid fire.
Soon, Dakota finds herself caught in a magical battle between ageless wizards desperate to seize the rapidly dwindling supply of liquid fire and fireweaver terrorists who'll stop at nothing to keep every last drop of it for themselves.
Even if that means killing Dakota.
The race is on to find the truth about liquid fire, the secret behind Dakota's magic tattoos, and the message hidden in the fireweaver's secret codes--before the world goes up in flames.
Filled with spectacular magic, pyrotechnic action, and kinky romance, LIQUID FIRE is the action-packed third installment in the Dakota Frost, Skindancer series.
