Kira is twelve and doesn't want to be married. She wants to be a Dragon Knight, like her father before her. If she can't go to the palace to train, then she will go to the Rogue Mountain and tame Ferarchie, the most vicious dragon ever to curse the land.
But then the evil Lord Dorcon burns her home to the ground. Kira and her younger sister [[Elspeth (Shadow of the Dragon) by Kate O'Hearn|Elspeth]] escape, but the rest of their family aren't so lucky. Their parents are taken away to the palace of the cruel king, their brother Dane is sent to war, and their other sister Kahrin is sent to Lasser Commons, a terrible prison, where she awaits execution.
So begins a rollercoaster of an adventure, following Kira and Elspeth as they struggle to evade Lord Dorcon as he tries to hunt them down. Their journey takes them through the wilderness, to the summit of the Rogue Mountain, and to a magician's castle where the stairs go nowhere and the doors lead to different places depending on which way you walk through them.
My thanks to the publishers for sending a copy of this book.
