Calen is an apprentice mage, but he’s not very skilled at magic. While hiding from his strict master, he meets Meg, a princess who is hiding in order to catch a peek of her sister’s fiancé, an enemy prince, as he’s arriving at the castle. She also has a secret. She has found an orphaned dragon who is beginning to be able to enter her mind. Confused and not sure what to do, she turns to Calen. They soon discover that there is an deadly plot to kill Meg’s sister on the eve of her wedding, thus starting back up the hundred year war. Will the trio be able to combine and master their magic in time to stop the deadly plot?

A fun, fantasy adventure for dragon fans. The characters are entertaining. The plot starts off a little slow, but keeps the intrigue, adventure, and mystery high. Readers who like fantasy, dragons, and adventure will enjoy reading this book.
