Finlay McDonough wants nothing more than to be a Dragon Knight: a warrior bound with a dragon partner, intent on ridding the kingdom of its dragon-killing monarchy. Well, she might want one thing just a bit more ... Evander, her childhood friend, now keeper of the dragon sanctuary. Scouting with Evander one day, Finlay's attempt to save a dragon goes horribly wrong, and she inadvertently ties her fate to the dragon's--their souls bind, lending Finlay powers like those of the Mages the Knights are sworn to destroy. After passing the trial to train as a Knight, Finlay discovers a devastating truth about a beloved dragon. To save them, she'll need to risk her dream of becoming a true Knight, her chance at a happily-ever-after with Evander ... and maybe her very identity. Fantasy romance with a strong heroine, sweet love interest, sassy dragon companion, and more than a dash of adventure awaits.
