A Sword for a Dragon
“Relkin was grimly aware that if he didn’t escape soon, it would be the last dawn he would ever see. He grew increasingly nervous as the daylight hours went by. Where was Miranswa? If she didn’t hurry up, it would be too late. He would end up on the altar stone high above his dungeon.
