Is love worth the pain it may cost? Is there any escaping-?Raised from his earliest memories for one purpose, to use a magical talent he may not even possess to further the power of the cruel king, Song doesn't even know what it means to have choices, or to be loved. Yet when he meets a mysterious man who claims the name Dragon-Rider, a man who would give anything to rescue him, who would willingly hand himself over to death just for the chance of giving Song freedom, both Song's life and his heart are changed forever- And there is no going back .

. .

A story about discovering what it means to be cared about, to be loved and to love, when dreams of both past and the future haunt the slim possibility of finding true safety. A traumatized child, a selfless man, a sweet affectionate feather-dragon.

This is not an epic fantasy. It is not a story of heroic battles and victories that may change the world.

It is a story of emotions and longings, a story of the meaning of freedom and love. This story is more about the mundane moments of life.

Whether or not the characters involved will be part of saving or changing the world is irrelevant to this story. This is a story about the emotional meaning in common place pleasures and sacrifices, in the hardships of hunger and cold that come with surviving in the wilderness.

It is a story about finding meaning in the mundane things. It is a story about finding contentment in relationship and love, whether or not the world can ever be safe.

It is the love story about the rescue of one small child. It could almost be a romance if we make the word romance into no more than a description of simple love, of desperate heartache, of the undefinable need to be be with another and to make that other happy.

It is a story of found family where genetic relations have no bearing. .
