Publisher Description
A fractured world. An impossible friendship.
When a mysterious ring suddenly appears on reclusive teenager Ellen’s bookshelf, she is granted the power to travel miles away from everything she’s ever known. There she meets Shard, a friendly dragon who offers to help Ellen grow her stunted-since-birth magic. Although it seems too good to be true, Ellen accepts, sure she can conquer her self-hatred by becoming an accomplished magician. Little does she know, her magical voyages have raised the suspicions of those who would destroy her.
Young and lonely, Shard is determined to find his first friend in Ellen. But befriending a creature as detested as a human could spell banishment from his tribe — or worse. As the bond between them grows, they will have to face their deepest fears. If they can’t, their friendship is doomed … along with any chance they have of saving both their kinds from annihilation.

Lovely book
Although I admit that fantasy isn’t my go-to genre when it comes to reading, I genuinely enjoyed this one! It’s so well-written (and the imagery is fantastic) that I just wish I could see what the author intended most of the settings to look like. Beyond the primary story, the author tackles more serious (societal) issues I will not spoil for anyone. Some chapters and scenes were so exciting that I found myself literally at the edge of my seat. I might actually have to read this a second time because I liked it *that* much, and don’t want to miss any clever details I may not have noticed.
