Join Ellenora Thornburg as she journeys further into the story of Asheron and his party.
The battle on the mountain was disastrous, and the party finds themselves divided and in dire situations. Asheron is helpless and locked in a room at the Iron Castle. Wolf and Ross have fallen, and Xandria and Logan are trapped in an inescapable cage.
Meanwhile time is running out for Ellenora, in two days she turns ten and the Legion will attack the town of Barn Dale. Can she really protect them by denying her powers? Or will she be forced to face the truth and risk the lives of her family and friends?
This is the back blurb of the book, but it doesn't match up with the first chapter, so I wanted to add a description to that.
This chapter takes you back to when Ellenora's father, Martin Thornburg is a boy and to the day he learns of his destiny.

For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete
