The worlds of people and Irthans are at different poles. I knew this simple truth since childhood, but when it came to my freedom, I felt it especially keenly. The dragon who chose me wants to see me as his. My own property, but I can’t live like that. All I can do is make my move. Which will change my whole life and turn it upside down. Which will cut off all escape routes, like a leap into the abyss. And the only salvation in it will be... love.
