One Answer. One Question. One Woman. One Dragon. Shennon Trelor, researcher for the Arbitrator of Shlognar, earns a coveted spot on the negotiation team selected to bring a close to a war between two kingdoms. She worked hard to earn the spot, and a snow storm, a dragon king and the labyrinthine archives of High Cadore are not going to interfere with her doing her job. Shennon arrives late to the negotiation and is mistaken for a Question Girl and taken before the Dragon King. Frustrated by the further delay, she demands she be allowed to do her work, but the Dragon King won’t stop calling her in for questioning. The Dragon King needs an answer. His administrator brings a different teenage girl each day to face the question, until the day a woman from a negotiation team is accidentally brought to him. The answer to the question will free him from a curse, but after five hundred years, he doesn’t remember what question he is supposed to ask nor what will happen once he gets his answer. Soon Shennon is as intrigued by his need for a specific answer as she is in furnishing the negotiation team with the facts that will end the two hundred year war. The shifting moods of the Dragon King and her own unexpected desire to help him pull her into a 500-year-old curse and land her in royal intrigues far beyond her expectations. Will she find the answer to his forgotten question? Will the answer save the king or kill him?
