Dragon Kin (Faye/Geary)

Sometimes being silly can be deadly serious. Alonia is the kind of elf who wears a pretty dress to go gathering in the forest just because it makes her happy. And it seems to work. It gathers her a dragon, one who likes to be silly and moon over cute boys just like she does. Which is all fine and good until they turn the weapon's master's sword into... well, I can't tell you. That would be a spoiler.

A healer and a dragon queen. They're meant for each other-and for so much more. A baby, abandoned on a harsh slope to die. She grew into a healer, but she can't grow out of the thing that keeps her from being entirely human. An ice-blue dragon who will one day be queen. Self-confident, and beloved, but there has always been a hole inside her that nothing can fill. Neither of them is ready for what awaits-but the Star doesn't wait for those it calls to be ready.

There are only four. The prophecy speaks of five. They have time yet... until the Dragon Star sends visions of doom for the dragons across the waters and even those not called must be ready. A small elf who has waited so very long for a dragon of her own prepares to do what she can to help her friends pack their bags and meet their destinies, and hides the terrible sadness in her own heart. She has not been chosen. Then the dragon queen looks into Kellan's eyes and says the three words that will change everything.
