Marcie is an oddity in her village, the daughter of a widower with both village and outsider blood in her veins. She cares for her drunken father, and struggles to fit in with the rest of the village. Everything changes when she comes across two dragons, a mother and her new born, and unwittingly becomes the Tamer of the baby dragon when his mother dies. This new unlikely bond completely changes her life and opens doors to her future that she would have never thought possible whilst also causing her pain and heartache.

Hazel seems normal. She lives with her adopted parents, who she loves very much, and she goes to a normal school. That is until the day before her twelfth birthday when her house is ransacked and her adopted parents attacked, but that is nothing compared to when her birthday comes and she shifts for the first time. Hazel soon finds herself being chased by a group of people who want to harness her power, and use it against her kind. Hazel soon discovers that she is a direct ancestor of the first Shapeshifters that ever existed. The most powerful Shapeshifters ever to walk the earth.
