The Dragon's Call - Paperback

by Niina C (Illustrator), K. W. McCabe (Author)

In a war-torn world, a careless act of destruction wakes a creature thought to be myth and legend - a dragon. Mankind unites to battle for survival, but when dragons enter the fray in human form... humans lose. Five decades later, Cecily lives in an enclave with her father and brother. Knowing nothing of life before the war, she placidly obeys the restrictions imposed by dragonkind. Stifled with the tedium of court life, Derek, heir of the Dragon Queen, commits a petty crime. To avoid punishment and chronic boredom, he escapes to the enclave. His arrival sparks increased tension when he meets Cecily. Realizing the extent of limitations on her freedom, Cecily begins to chafe at her lack of liberty, and Derek rebels when he discovers his life is built on a lie. Derek and Cecily's tumultuous friendship threatens to splinter the lines of segregation between their people, but something more dangerous occurs. A mysterious killer stalks the community - and Cecily's mother has disappeared. Cecily and Derek must break the rules and boundaries between their societies to find and stop the murderer before Cecily becomes the next victim.
