A healer and a dragon queen. They're meant for each other-and for so much more. A baby, abandoned on a harsh slope to die. She grew into a healer, but she can't grow out of the thing that keeps her from being entirely human. An ice-blue dragon who will one day be queen. Self-confident, and beloved, but there has always been a hole inside her that nothing can fill. Neither of them is ready for what awaits-but the Star doesn't wait for those it calls...

The ancient prophecy speaks of the five, those who will come to save all of dragonkind. Like most prophecies, it leaves out a lot of the important details ... The very ordinary elf girl who runs for the hills-and gets lost in a forest instead. The dragon egg, precariously perched high in a tree on a dark winter's night. And what happens when egg meets girl.
