Magic has been wiped out, and dragons exterminated.
The fae and fair folk are in hiding, and King Helion reigns with a ruthless grip over his land, using the outlawed magic to keep fear in the hearts of his subjects and people. Everyone thinks that magic is gone, until, one day, a child stumbles upon it by accident. Bethan doesn't realise that the powers that she possesses are second to none and goes on with her life, using it - with extraordinary results - for healing. But when she comes of age, she can no longer resist the secret that she's kept for years; the king's imprisoned dragon calls to her, telling her to bring back the time of the dragonlords once more.
(I'm very sorry to say that this is currently on hold, as I wrestle with numerous other projects that demand my attention.)
