Summary: In a world where magic is forbidden, twelve-year-old Ciara accidentally summons a dragon named Scorch. With her mother's life hanging in the balance, Ciara must navigate the dangers of forbidden spells and the Emperor's wrath. Can she trust Scorch to help her save her mother and liberate her village, or will the ancient magic consume them both? Dive into a tale of daring and destiny, where the line between ally and adversary blurs, and the power of magic could be the key to salvation—or destruction.
