Synopsis
Tollar is a hero for hire who intends to return a stolen dragon egg to its kin. The egg hatches, the dragon bonds with her, and it refuses to leave. She asks her pyromancer friend Beenala to help hide it from hostile factions, which risks revealing Tollar's rare aquamancy and her place in the only home she has known. When a bumbling spy shows that the people she stole from are more dangerous than she realized, the two must work together to protect what they love.
