But when a quick score involving a dragon goes wrong, she s shipped off to a distant mountaintop kingdom where the legendary Fire Queen is starting a school for magic wielders.

I found myself devouring page after page and completely unable to put it down. This book is simply a must read for fantasy lovers! -She Who Breathes, Reads Blog This is a great YA fantasy story.
