Synopsis
Neesha wants to develop her rare fire-based magic. She has no interest in dragon politics, resents her mother, a famous dragon whisperer, and chafes at a conservative society that expects her to marry. Escaping her mother's criticism and the suitors her family has chosen is hard. An unplanned pregnancy narrows her options and leaves her a short window to win a place in the Wizards Guild before motherhood gets in the way. Then her mother's old enemy returns, seeking revenge on the whole family. The enemy brings river monsters and threatens the dragon city, and Neesha faces hard choices that put the city and her unborn child at risk. To succeed, she has to start caring about the dragons and earn their trust.
