Synopsis
Dionelle is born immune to fire. Soon after she marries the rancher Reiser and moves to his ranch near a large city, the corrupt noblewoman Lady Karth forces her to serve as dragon whisperer, keeping the peace between the kingdom and its dragons. Dionelle has a real gift for the work and comes to love it, but Reiser fears for her safety and the job strains their marriage. When Dionelle disappears, Reiser has to take over her role, ally with the dragons he has long feared, including her own, and search for her while Lady Karth keeps scheming.
