Dragon's Breath

All Thalia had ever known was a life of silence and servitude. Her job had always been to keep her head down and follow orders, and she'd done it well. A mere serving girl of The House of Ellinas, she'd spent her life dreaming of what life beyond the walls was like. But she knew better than anyone else that daring to do more than just dream was something only a fool would do.

Her life was comfortable; two meals a day and a bed to sleep in at night, not many could say the same. The Forest beyond the walls had never been forgiving, unimaginable creatures and beings lurking within its wilderness. Which is why she had never expected to wake up in a tree hollow, beyond the walls, surrounded by nothing but silence and a cloak draped over her.

Life just got a whole lot more complicated and Thalia needed answers, fast. She couldn't remember much about her last night at The House of Ellinas or how she'd made it to The Forest. With no one to trust and no idea where she was, she had only one thing on her mind: Survival.

As her past slowly creeps up on her, she finds herself struggling more and more to grapple with reality. It's all she can do to make it out alive, with her sanity and heart in tact.
