I always thought that dragons were smart and civilized—until I found out that they steal! And they do it with the approval of their own Lord, and they don’t steal just anything—they steal young innocent girls. So they stole me too—snatched me up and carried me over high mountains, calling me a trophy of the Emerald Clan. When I complained to the Lord, he laughed—and that was a mistake. Because for every charming scoundrel, there is justice of his own, and for every growling dragon, there is his own princess. For Darnayesh of the Fire Clan, I was found!
