Long ago, dragons roamed the earth. They were supreme in power, kings among beasts, unable to be destroyed by anyone or anything. Or so they thought.Treachery from within tore the dragons apart. War broke out, and all the dragons were slain – except four, which escaped into human bodies and slept away the eons, silent specters trapped in the back of their hosts’ mind. They traveled along bloodlines, on and on through the endless time, until, one day, they awoke.Gwen Williams is one of the hosts. Still reeling from the shock of discovering that she has a dragon living inside her, Gwen is thrown into a life of uncertainty and a race against time. She has to find the remaining three dragons and keep herself from being hunted down and killed by her ancient enemies, the Dark Ones. She must learn, on her own, to control a power she does not understand, and above all, she has to keep it a secret.A Note from the Author—This is my debut novel, which I wrote when I was thirteen. Since then I have written two others, but as this one is a children’s book I have decided to use it for a special cause. I am donating the proceeds to underprivileged kids, starting with an orphanage in Mexico to which my church regularly sends aid. I hope you enjoy, but no matter what, purchasing this novel will make life just a little better for some kids who are in sore need of it. Thanks for your support of this worthy cause and happy reading!
