Daavi and Millie think they're in for a treat.Daavi's been hired to set up the new accounting systems between the governments of three tiny neighboring countries, along with his accounting systems designer Fran, and Motormouth - Fran's friend and interpreter. They're taking Molly and Merrin - Millie and Daavi's new twins, packing their bags, and hopping a boat headed to Belvique for their assignment. They're looking forward to a quick, easy job, followed by a week of prosaic scenery, some well-earned, highly paid time away in the beautiful countryside, souvenir shopping, and sampling fine cheeses and wines as a bonus. But they hadn't really planned on hobnobbing with the duke and his family, and they really hadn't planned on dealing with the people who their clients hired to install their new infrastructure: The Jenovian church of Belviqe. The church isn't what it seems, and unfortunately for Millie, Daavi, and their mixed-species tykes, one of the sect's main gripes seems to be with mixed-species families and individuals - even though their 'high prophet' is one! Laying low might not be an option with dignitaries and tee-vee cameras in their faces, so Millie and Daavi are going to have to be on their toes in this tale of diplomatic discord. They and Fran are going to have to juggle liaisons, ledgers, payrolls, and pontiffs, as well as a surprise appearance from Daavi's ex-wife!

Young half-Drachen Rinn thought with she was going to have a nice, quiet trip to mainland to visit with her finally-reunited parents, Millie and Daavi.Now, Daavi's missing, Millie is ill, Rinn's grandmother is being an insufferable pain in the tailfeathers, strange people are lurking around outside Daavi's workshop, corporate lackeys are trying to steal prototype equipment from radio towers, a slick salesman keeps hanging around - seemingly to be helpful - and a strange girl shows up on the doorstep.And that's not to mention the drug dealers and knife-wielding maniacs.Family issues, drug dealers, and telecom company corporate spies. Life in the city sure is different from the island.Join Rinn on her "vacation" to the city in this wacky sequel to Drachen.

Alex is bored. He's tired of being a sales rep for a communications company, and getting sent off regularly to the middle of nowhere. Luckily, he sees a golden opportunity: the chance to swap with Daavi, one of the company's contractors, skipping off to a tropical island instead, to help Daavi's business partner Fran implement a new accounting system. Alex jumps at the chance for a sunny, low-key adventure, and trades places with him, dragging his junior colleague Vivica along for the ride. But Alex has forgotten that 'adventure' and 'vacation' aren't the same thing. He finds that island life has its pitfalls. Daavi isn't off the hook either: He's to travel out to a job site suspended over a ravine in a nature preserve. Aside from being mildly terrified of heights, Daavi has brought along his best friend Darryl, and their expectant wives, Millie and Stella, which might not have been the best idea with a vengeful, disgruntled ex-employee from Alex's company skulking around with a personal axe to grind. To top it all off, Millie's baby is almost due, and expecting Drachen mothers can be, as Daavi puts it "adorably unpredictable." This could all end without incident. But it's unlikely.
