When magic invades Iris’ life, the simple orphan girl becomes the center of a war between dragons and humans, and her only hope of survival is an amulet she can’t control and a stranger who may or may not be the enemy.
Iris is an orphan leading what she considers a normal life. As the oldest in Father John's care, she works hard to help bring in the money needed to feed and clothe the younger children, and she does it without complaint. Everybody in town knows and loves her. Someday, she'll get married and start her own family, and she’s okay with that. She wants normal. Normal is safe and good.
But a war looming over her country threatens the safety and normalcy she desires.
Char and his brother Rath are dragons and certified troublemakers. They're a pain in their commanding officer's side and a favorite at parties, especially among the girls. But when Char’s familiarity with humans earns him a routine scouting mission, he finds more trouble than he could have ever anticipated in the form of a simple orphan girl.
Then magic invades that simple orphan girl’s life, and everything they all know is turned upside down.
Iris is suddenly the center of a war between dragons and humans, and the only person she can turn to for help is Char, a stranger she isn’t even sure she can trust. Char is too impulsive to stay out of the tangled web of magic tightening around Iris, even if that means lying to his brother and risking his life to keep her out of the hands of a psychotic mage.
Nowhere is safe. Nothing is normal. Nobody is trustworthy.
And the power to end the war and save them all may lie in the hands of a girl shackled with magic she doesn't understand and can't control.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpEaK1Uouj
