The intriguing and at times unsettling story of Deirdre Flye – code named Dragonfly, a grit and nails woman who owns a security company catering to the rich and famous. No one knows about her past training as an Assassin at a cult establishment called Stone House which had burned down under mysterious circumstances. An inquisitive local police officer suspects that there is more to Deidre than meets the eye and suspects her of her assassin connections. When her current security case takes a sinister turn, Deidre finds that she needs to confront her evil past while at the same time protecting her future. Raised to be a cold, heartless assassin in a cult where spells are routinely performed to torture and control, and cruel exercises are demanded with the goal of making people stronger, Deirdre struggles with her true identity. She finds herself discovering her own true humanity as she struggles to protect an innocent child whose life is in danger as the result of evil forces. The dialog is at times, a bit choppy “ I want to bed you.” and “Am I alive or dead?” but there is plenty of action that moves the plot along. “Deirdre, are you going to let them take me? When the time comes, are you going to try to save me? Lora's expression was too intense. Tears swelled in her eyes and one trickled down the tan face and dripped from her chin onto her shirt. Deirdre didn't want to wipe it away, didn't want the physical contact with such a pure soul. After all Deirdre was raised to be a weapon, raised evil. “I'll do everything I can to keep you safe.” Magic spells, intrigue, an old legend involving a sacrificing a child which would then lead to a return of power, and stealing of souls - Magic Rising: Dragonfly has a little bit of everything to keep you on the edge of your seat. It is an entertaining read with a satisfying conclusion that leaves you wondering where Deirdre is going to go next. It should be noted that due to graphic violence and sexual material the author carries a statement on her website indicating that all material is intended for readers over the age of 18.
