“Here” the dragon said. She held out Mother to Y\u00ean. Y\u00ean<\/em> took her, arms bowing under the weight. Mother was old and frail, but to carry her as effortlessly as the dragon had… “She’s exhausted herself summoning me,” the dragon went on. There was no emotion in her voice.<\/p>

Failed scholar Y\u00ean is sold to Vu C\u00f4n, one of the last dragons walking the earth, and she expects to be tortured or killed for Vu C\u00f4n’s amusement. But it turns out Vu C\u00f4n has other plans for her.<\/em><\/p>\n
