Darkened Secrets [BEING REWRITTEN]

A dragonhunter with a dangerous secret.
Frode has dragon magic... and if anyone finds out he will be executed.

A dragon with no home.
After a horrific accident, Sage is blinded and left for dead.

A war with no end.
Dragons and humans have been at war for decades, and with a traitor in the dragon's midst, it is up to Avrae to save them all... at a terrible price.

Sneak peek:

"The Cletin is only accepting thirty new candidates this term, and only twelve will become full fledged members. I'm sure you're smart enough to know what that means," Grywell grumbled. Avrae took in a deep breath.

"I know."

"You may have to reveal yourself sooner than you'd like."

"I have no intention of doing that. But you should know that by now."

"When do you intend on telling Flare? Or the queen for that matter? What you are doing can be considered treason if you're not careful."

"I know. You are my teacher after all."

"I am no longer your teacher, for I cannot teach you anything that you don't already know or can learn from the Cletin themselves."

Avrae stomped her hind foot, frowning. There was no way that she would reveal her deepest, most terrifying secret she kept to any other living soul. Only Grywell knew her secret, and she intended to keep it that way for the time being. No matter how much she refused to accept the truth, she knew Grywell was right.

Sooner or later, her secret would be revealed to the entire colony. The question was though, how would the other dragons react to it?
