Liesel has spent years delivering other people's messages, away from home and on the road. Becoming a dragon-riding royal courier would bring better pay and time for the future she'd almost given up imagining. But she's not qualified. And she doesn't have a dragon. Then Aiden, the friend she never stopped wondering about, crosses her path. He's convinced she'd make an excellent royal courier. She can't imagine why.
Aiden certainly is better qualified. He just needs a dragon. So why would he want her to come along?Before she can ask, they stumble upon a dragon collapsed beside a river, and the road to the courier trials gains a dragon who keeps asking questions no Cadore dragon should ask. Questions about humans. Questions about dragons. Questions about The Bargain that has governed peace between dragons and humans for generations.
