Dragon Rings

A force of destruction sweeps through the realm, leaving behind a trail of charred forests and villages, and the dying screams of man and beast alike. Sent with her fellow reevers to find and kill the invaders, Ring-Witch Mayra unexpectedly meets an enigmatic assassin who's far more distracting than she has time for. Not one to pass up offered help, Mayra and Wolfe soon discover evidence of something utterly unanticipated—a dragon. As soon as Mayra is alone, the beast touches her mind, filling her with searing, mind-rending pain while desperately apologizing. During this and other eerie encounters, she senses his gentle, selfless soul, even when he reveals that something evil has him helplessly enthralled. Mayra is desperate to help him, for dragons were long ago allies of the Ring-Witches. But their presence now will cause a war the Ring-Witches cannot win. Will she—can she—destroy them as commanded? Or will Mayra betray her kingdom and jeopardize a life with Wolfe to free them? Is she prepared to lose everything, gambling on the truth of arcane mythos? Did dragons forge a link with witches by gifting them the mystical Rings they wear? Or is it all a ruse by a mighty Prime Dragon to take back what dragons once ruled—the beautiful realm of Nesht?
