| |  | | | In Brief
Kragland is beset by dragons and "Kara, the heroine of this prequel tothe author's Dragon's Milk {BRD 1990}, finds herself unwillingly enmeshed in her sovereign's plot to exterminate the creatures. Kara, marked as an outsiderby her green eyes and her ability to communicate telepathically, uses this talent to call a dragon into range of the king's archers. Stricken with guilt and grief when it is killed, Kara refuses to call the others. To escape her king's wrath, she flees into snowbound mountains, where she joins forces with a 'kyn' or family of dragons, and conceives a plan to help them find refuge far from humankind. . . . Grades five to nine." (SLJ)
| | | | From The Publisher
There is a story about Kara and dragons. When she was four, she came down with vermillion fever. Her parents, thinking there was no cure, left her in a cave to die. A month later she walked back into her parents' home as healthy as if she had never been sick. It is said that a mother dragon lived in that cave, and she nursed young Kara back to life.
Now, eleven years later, the only reminder of Kara's illness is a small scar on her cheek. Of her contact with the dragon, there is more. Her eyes, which once were blue, are now green. And she can call down birds, which many believe is a sign that she can also call down dragons, for the two are distant cousins.
Only Kara has her doubts. How can a beat as huge and terrifying as a dragon be related to a sweet, gentle bird? But could this explain why the king has sent for her? Does he think she has power over dragons? For Kara, the answer to this question means life or death--not only for her, but for all the dragons, also.
| | | | Annotation
Fifteen-year-old Kara is summoned by King Orrik, who believes she has the power to call down the dragons that have been plundering his realm, and she is caught up in the fierce rivalry between Orrik and his jealous brother Rog.
