She had no memories other than her life in the damp, gray cell that she had called home for as long as she could remember. The only name she was known by was Nuria, the word for fire in the ancient language. She lived a life of pain and tears. The only people she ever saw were the king and his dungeon master when they came to torture her. And all she dreamed of were the flames, a fire that terrified her more than the tools of her captors. Kegan and Byrn had been searching for their own kind for years, ever since most of the fire breathers had vanished from the world. When they sense the presence of one like them who is imprisoned, they are determined to set her free. Together they will hunt for their missing brethren and discover what happened to the powerful, fiery race.
