About This Book
A dragon's egg falls from the sky. What hatches from it is not a dragon, it's a child called Dru. She looks different, doesn't say a lot, and likes to talk to the chickens, though they don't listen much. And when flames emerge from her fingertips, her family realizes it's time to find out who and what she really is.
Garrett's been many things in his time… street hustler, warrior, professional gambler, spy. He'll do whatever's asked of him, legal or not. Now he's paid to search for those with a touch of magic in them. But magic is unpredictable and hard to find, and he doesn't have much luck until he meets Dru. There might be real power behind her strangeness, if she could only learn how to reach it.
When his employer asks Garrett to escort Dru on a journey, accompanied by a scholar, a princess, a guard and a priest, it seems like a simple enough mission, until they fall into the hands of raiders. Garrett's lived on his wits all his life, but he'll need all his talents, and a little magic too, to get them out of this mess and reach safety.
If he can manage that, maybe he'll find out the secret of the dragon's egg, and the girl who hatched from it.
