Dragon Quest

Laurel has lived her whole life as peasant, but when she's offered an opportunity to leave, she doesn't know what to think. She has to leave everything she's known behind to go on a quest for a dragon egg with a stuck-up, nameless stranger. She's forced to go anyway with this stranger, whom the other questers dubbed Clopas, who thinks her name is Azalea.

At first, it doesn't seem too bad, but then people start dying and the trek up and down mountains, through forests, across raging rivers, and all matters of terrain seems endless. To make matters worse, another group is after the egg to destroy it, henceforth killing the species. And when Laurel finds out the reason Clopas wants the egg, she knows she has to keep it hidden from him, too. On a road with death, treachery, and mystical monsters, Laurel must find a way to accomplish the quest without anyone knowing, and can't die along the way.
