Mariposa is a young woman in a secluded town. Her mother was a witch and ran away when she was younger. Her father went crazy because of this and began burning young women under the pretense that they were witches. Mariposa didn't agree with these ways. After an argument with her father she discovers her powers. He attempts to burn her at the stake but it doesn't work and she runs away. All she wants is a bakery and a safe place for everyone.

Dragons like princesses. Everyone knows that. But the kingdom of Teana is pretty lacking in maids of the royal variety - which must be why Alannah finds herself tied to a pole, surrounded by sheep, and in the most ridiculous white dress she's ever seen. Only she's not a princess; she's a witch. And she's not interested in being another notch on this dragon's belt. All she wants is get back to her Grandmother's shop, and back to her normal life. But she's days from home, and her only assistance is a blundering knight-in-training, a recently captured slave - and the dragon, who follows them around like a curious puppy. A large, dangerous puppy that can look human whenever it chooses - yeah, she's definitely in trouble. BETA/DRAFT: All rights reserved. Visit www.lemedlock.com for information on upcoming stories.
