It is a story of addiction treatment institutions from the inebriate asylums and Keeley Institutes to Hazelden and Parkside.

For the Memory of Dragons is the exciting sequel to On the Wings of Accidental Dragons by Julie Wetzel. What do you do when a dragon crash-lands in your backyard? That's the question Terra's faced with when one of these creatures plows down into her cornfield. Should she help out the hunk of a man the dragon turns into, or turn him over to the trigger-happy 'authorities' that have come looking for him? The deciding factor—he has no memory. Giving him up just doesn't seem right… at least until she knows the truth of who he is. Alex has forgotten a thing or two—his name being one of them—but he knows there is something important that he needs to remember, if he could just get his battered brain to work properly. A little rest might help, but there's no time for that when the bullets start flying. Now he has to follow the few clues he has to discover who he is, and why people are trying to kill him. But that's the easy part. The hard part will be keeping his hands off the lovely lady helping him. The Dragons of Eternity series is perfect for fans of paranormal romance and fantasy romance.
