At least she has an idea to put off the inevitable for a while.Her plan has potential if not for two things: foreign priests of the Shin-il Way see the twins as necessary to their domination of the world, and the Burning Lady, Goddess over the Spirit World, requires that the twins fulfill a covenant a distant ancestor of theirs had made with the mythical dragons.Now Willoe and her brother must prepare to fight, each in their own way, or face death or worse, enslavement.If you like huge casts of fascinating characters, intricately interwoven story lines, and impressive worlds, you'll love Peter Cruikshank's Dragon-Called series.Revive your love of dragons and get the first book in the series today!
