Rowan, the young daughter of the King and Queen, has always been different. She's not your typical princess. But it's not her fault, of course. She can't help that she is deaf, or that the castle's inhabitants always keep their distance. It's just the fact that she's friends with the dragon next door. Yes, dragon. Rokevir is a dragon, and is determined to live up to the expectations of his kind. That is, the usual killing, burning, plundering...until he meets that quiet human girl Rowan. She is the only one who isn't scared of him; she can't hear all the scary and stereotypical stories about dragons that are told all too often. Told in their words, this is the story of an unlikely bond that will change a kingdom forever. © Avalon Lee, 2014. All Rights Reserved.
