Worlds of people and Irthans are at different poles. I knew this simple truth from childhood, but when it came to my freedom, I felt it especially sharply. The dragon who chose me wants to see me as his own. My property, but I can't live like that. All that remains for me is to make my move. Which will change my whole life and turn it upside down. Which will cut off all escape routes like a leap into the abyss. And the only salvation in it will be... love.
