All her life, Ality wishes to escape the suffocating confines of her father's castle where she the shadow of her five older brothers. While they learn to became tacticians, leaders and warriors, she knits and sews, wears pretty dresses and dreads the day she's married off to some old lord, duke or boring prince.
Everything changes for Ality one night when an ancient dragon, Rayziel, awakens from a thousand-year slumber in an ancient burial ground before wreaking havoc across the realms. With her father's castle destroyed, her brothers gone (some missing, some presumed dead), Ality promises to fulfill her father's dying wish: to rebuild their kingdom. Also marked and chosen by Elran, the spirit of the prince of the dragon-kins, a lost race of dragon slayers, Ality may be the only one who could save the realm, or fail and watch all of the world end before her eyes.
It's just all in a day's work for Ality Vera: rule a duchy, lead and build an army, slay a dragon and oh yes, lose her heart to a spirit prince.
