Liena Morrigan was once a member of the Druidic Circle, an ancient order of Mages that drew their power from nature. After a civil war that destroyed her home and left her to be the only Druid left, she was taken prisoner and locked away for some time. Now a representative from the new rulership has come to offer her freedom, but at a price. She must find a way to cure a man of an apparently incurable disease. And not just any man. He is a Dragonkin, fierce half-human, half-dragon warriors that were the bulk of the forces fighting against her people in the revolution. Is her freedom worth healing someone who played a role in the loss of everything she loved? Is he as monsterous as she believes, or could he be different?
