The Story
That wasn't a welcome, she realized. It was a warning.
"Evil stirs beneath the scales,
As sleeping forces wake,
As fleshless bones begin to glow
And stony mountains shake.
A treasure lost ere long is found
By one who heeds the call
Of secrets under stony spines
Within the hidden hall."
After the defeat of her cruel father, Emba Oak's nights are haunted by strange dreams with beckoning dragons calling her to faraway mountain peaks. With an ever-flowing stream of questions about her nature, her dragon fire and fury, Emba knows she must go. But can Emba control the growing powers inside her or will everything fall apart along the way?
