Seventeen years ago, Anahrod was the daughter of the mayor, a potential dragonrider, and had a bright future ahead of her. But then she did something that caused the elder dragons to call for her immediate execution, which her parents didn't hesitate to grant. Miraculously, however, she survived, and those same elder dragons are now calling for her head again. Meanwhile, she's being tracked by a motley crew of kidnappers who have their own reasons for wanting to track her down, and Anahrod's main goal is to survive the kidnappers and the dragons to get back to the life she's been living in exile.
The world created in this book is excellent, and I think there's a lot to explore in the relationships between the dragons and their people. However, I also think the author tried to shove too many plot devices into a single book, which made me feel like I was being dragged around the setting by a feral creature. Really, this could've been two books, if not more. (But props are due to the artist for this amazing cover. Well done!)
