Chapter 1

Sometimes, you have a bad day. Sometimes, you have a bad week. Then there are those times when you meet a dragon, have to hide it from your family and go on the run from your best friend's sadistic older brother when he tries to kill you.
Elizabeth Moore was a young woman with a set career as a blacksmith in her small village of Shalsam when she was thrust into a world of high adventure, magic, and politics. Along with her friends Erin, Rose, Corrin, and Farrin - and her brother Kai - she finds herself thrown far from where she ever thought her life would take her. Will she learn to ride a dragon? How can she survive in the mountains where nothing grows?
Are the Gods really watching over her?
