Publisher Description

Under no circumstances are girls ever to be allowed anywhere near dragons. The penalty for any girl caught breaking the law is death.

Kira is 12 and strong-willed. The daughter of a retired dragon-knight, she fights against all the 'stupid' laws in the kingdom. Then Lord Dorcon arrives in a whirl of destruction. Her older brother Dane is captured and Kira is outlawed along with her younger sister.

To stand a chance of ever seeing her family again and to protect the life of her sister, Kira will need all her courage and willpower. Let the battle commence....

"Many of my students and I enjoyed this book! The prophecy, the dragon, the girls as warriors, and the destruction of their home in the first chapter created compelling reading. In addition, it was easy to follow (some fantasy books are not)!"

    " One of the better girl-kicks-butt books that I have read. Who can resist a book about a 12 year old female outlaw/heroine, with dragons, dragon knights and an evil monarchy? This is one of my favorite fantasy books to date. "

    " The story was great. The idea, the plot, the places, the people were all great. But the storytelling was that of a new author, and that made it less enjoyable than it could've been, unfortunately. "

    " I liked the story but Kira annoyed me I don't know why she just did. I think it was at the beginning when she was going to be married off and she refused to when that was what happened to every girl and she seemed to think she should be different. other than that it was a good story. "
