In this fantasy adventure, a teenage girl accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death by dragon finds an unexpected friendâand maybe something more. Fifteen-year-old Alys is not a witch. But that doesnât matterâthe villagers think she is and have staked her out on a hillside as a sacrifice to the local dragon. Itâs late, itâs cold, and itâs raining, and Alys can think of only one thingârevenge. But first sheâs got to escape, and even if she does, how can one girl possibly take on an entire town alone? Then the dragon arrivesâa dragon that could quite possibly be the perfect allyâ¦. An ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age âWicked wit and charm . . . as well as a gutsy heroine and a sexy dragon.â âBooklist âAlys herself is a worthy heroine, with a capricious gift for irony. A thoughtful mainstream fantasy.â âPublishers Weekly â[A] dark, bittersweet romance.â âKirkus Reviews
