Sometimes a blessing is a curse
Tales have long been spun about mystical children born with fantastic powers. The tribes of By call them Starbred. Stolen for her gifts and raised by the wicked king of the dragon tribe, Delani has been a slave all her life.
Like Delani, the dragons want freedom from their tyrannical king and the savage winged monster that is his son.
When the fearsome warrior Raynor takes Delani, she learns of new kinds of terror, hope, hurt-and desire, a thing she has never known.
Held captive by Raynor, she is forced to burn to bless him, but captivated by Raynor, it is the hate and hunger burning inside her that she truly fears. She cannot escape him, not even in death, and Raynor's lust is a star-driven force even a phoenix blessed cockatrice cannot combat.
He is a force and only a greater force can save her, but does such a thing even exist?
