Daughter of the Dispossessed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992884715)

A Magical Child...A Secretive Lord...And The Dragons That Bind Them

Powerful kings and mages have battled for centuries to claim control over dragons and their magic. The passage of time and fading traditions helped them find peace in the Gundervelt Mountains, allied with the Guardians of Dragonswold. But that peace cannot last. Descendants of the old rulers wish to regain the status and power that controlling the dragons brings, and they will kill anyone who gets in their way. There's one problem: none of them has what it takes to reclaim the dragons-a powerful mage capable of summoning them.

As an orphaned child, Ayleth never knew where she came from. Her strange magic frightened everyone around her, and they treated her like an outsider. A curse. Someone who could never truly belong. One day, a mysterious stranger whisks her away with promises of a world richer than she ever imagined. Raised in Lord Gabrian's keep at Algowin, Ayleth explores the depth of her magic and how to control it. But is that enough? What do her strange dreams mean? Why do the bones of dead things call to her? Does Gabrian know something about her heritage that he's keeping secret?

An unexpected betrayal tests her magical ability, forcing her to fight for the future that Gabrian promised. An encounter with a dragon changes everything. As a devastating battle for control of the dragons rages, Ayleth must make a decision that could shift the course of dragon history forever. Is she willing to make the sacrifice?
