In this fantasy adventure, a teenage girl accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death by dragon finds an unexpected friend -- and maybe something more.

Fifteen-year-old Alys is not a witch. But that doesn't matter -- the villagers think she is and have staked her out on a hillside as a sacrifice to the local dragon. It's late, it's cold, and it's raining, and Alys can think of only one thing -- revenge. But first she's got to escape, and even if she does, how can one girl possibly take on an entire town alone? Then the dragon arrives -- a dragon that could quite possibly be the perfect ally...
