By old law, dragon dreamers are put to death at birth or bound by magic, never to cast a spell or meld a dragon. Which fate occurs depends on who arrives first. Orphaned, ostracized, and magicless, Zyla Powerbane, ward of the headmaster of Wisery Towers, faces a strange Trust. She doesn’t trust anyone. Called to her guardian's office, she learns she is the most feared kind of caster. With her magic unbound, she is discharged into the wilds under the care of a stranger. Is he her executioner or her protector? And then the dreams begin. Wherever she goes, she knows she is being watched. Will her untamed Magic meld a dragon before she can learn to contain her power? Is she the melder who’ll begin the second conflagration of the continent of Rigaria? With the razers determined to put her to death, will she find a haven before she destroys herself and those most dear to her? Read this epic fantasy, this journey of discovery, belonging, and trial by fire and dragon.

There are those one trusts, and those one once trusted. Here lies a key consideration. Zyla Powerbane knew she’d broken trust with her mentor when she stole the mad melder from his cell. It was a fine line she walked, arguing that rescuing someone didn’t count against trust. Who lied first? A question that demands a second look. That was an argument of words. Actuality can change the view or deepen the perception. Imprisoned, tortured, rescued, and driven, Zyla is not interested in words anymore. Dragon melder, madness, destruction incarnate. Zyla Powerbane has a new quest. To reach her goal, will she deny love, sever friendships, and drive the Lynkyn forests into hiding again? Revenge demands payment. How much will she pay for a loss of trust? Read this epic fantasy, this journey of discovery, belonging, and trial by fire and dragon.
