Alys is a 15-year-old girl falsely accused of witchcraft. At her trial, she loses everything; her home, her friends and her father, who dies from the strain of the trial. Found guilty, she is condemned to be sacrificed to a dragon that has been terrorizing the local villages.
Tied to the stake waiting for the dragon to take her, her thoughts are only on escaping and revenge. What she doesn't expect is to find an ally in Selendrile, the shape-shifting dragon that takes her as bait not to eat, but to actually aid her.
