Synopsis

Cast out by dragonkind, threatened by his own family . . . A dragon with nothing left to lose can be a dangerous thing.

Unless, of course, that dragon is Galen Stormwing. He's never been very dangerous. He was a failure at school, a failure at gaining powers, and a failure at keeping them.

Now his own parents have told him he needs to do something to impress them within three days, or they'll have him executed as an embarrassment to the clan. He does the only sensible thing he can think of.

He runs for it. Survival trumps pride, as far as Galen is concerned. Most dragons won't go to Canada, realm of the dwarf people, so that's where he must go.

But he's not the only one fighting for survival. Vala is a young dwarf in school to become an engineer when she begins exhibiting magical powers. There's never been a dwarf mage before, and not all her people are thrilled about it. In fact, some of them would rather see Vala dead than allow their race to become polluted in that manner.

Both of them are vulnerable, lost, alone—and hunted. But together, they might just have what they need to save each other!

WARNING: it seems like there should be a book before this one that details the fight between Blackclaw and Galen Stormwing. (There might be a book before this one but if so, I could not find it). The story refers to the above, but it is only told in vignettes. But onto this book's review: Galen Storm......more

Not For Adult Readers I love young people and appreciate YA stories when they are written in a mature, stimulating fashion. This book would appeal to grade school kids, maybe middle schooler. It started in a promising manner I thought might be fun to read since I like the magical/paranormal genre how......more

Interesting Back into the world of life Steel Dragon, as we find Galen the necromancing dragon in a world of trouble. Not only has he lost most of his magical power including the ability to raise the dead dragons, but his family has rejected his plea to come home. In fact, they gave him a challenge.......more

Goodreads review by Megan on July 13, 2021

A wonderful beginning... Vala is such a fun character! She's naive, cute & different: dwarvish but young & hopeful. I'm already excited about this series! Perhaps Tanya will help in some way as she & Galen get to know more about each other. I guess I can read the other series in which Galen is featu......more
