Dragon's Wing

40 year old Melynda Rye has been considered contemptable in her village for a number of years - never married because no man has ever seemed to want her, she's called an old maid and her opinions and feelings are never taken seriously by anyone. After one particularly brutal village meeting, Melynda decides to end it all, by jumping from the highest cliff she can reach. However, she is saved by a creature that's treated with more contempt than she is - a dragon. She become friends with the Dragon, learning the truth about a curse on the royal family; meanwhile her frantic twin brother Martyn, in her search for her, starts to find some secrets of his own - including a prophecy about their countries future and how Melynda is involved.
