They're the reason his favorite sister, Wren, is dead, and now he'll do whatever it takes to slay even one.Wren doesn't trust anyone. She swore off humans after her village tried to sacrifice her to the dragons. She only has one friend, a small, wonderful mountain dragon named Sky, and they don't need anyone else.In a world of dragons, the humans who scramble around underfoot are easy to overlook.
