Akoya lives with her father, Abzu, on an unknown continent after he and Akoya's mother split apart when their dragonet was still an egg. Abzu took the egg and fled somewhere where he thought was safe. And it was, until a war broke out. But anyway; Abzu is very depressed and uses his animus magic to make himself feel better. But bit by bit, he loses his soul and starts abusing Akoya. Eventually, she gets enough and escapes her home. Now she survives in the wild of the continent and searches for a better place to stay. Original Wings of Fire series written by Tui T. Sutherland.
