'In a world where the law is often more corrupt than those breaking it, sometimes you have to take justice into your own hands.

'Rosie has a way to keep all her family safe from the one who would imprison them if not end their lives. But it means leaving the rest of the country at his mercy. She’s fairly certain he has none, yet although the alternative could change everything for her country, she doesn’t think she can take that course of action. The price would be far too high if she was to fail and the chance of success is nearly non-existent.'

'When one of the few people Morgane trusts is taken from her, all she should be able to think of is revenge. Not the pain of losing them. As a Gold Dragon, she can't show weakness. That will get her killed. Is she more human, than dragon, like her mother has always accused? When it comes to survival of the fittest, being compared to a human can make other dragons see you as an easy target. And that isn't something she's going to let happen. The only problem is, she has no idea how to prevent it.'
