  <default-description>Calen, a lonely young mage-to-be, never dreamed that Princess Meglynne would become his friend. And impulsive Meg never imagined that secretly tending a baby dragon would cause her to be &quot;linked&quot; to the winged beast &#8212; for life. Being attuned to a dragon&#8217;s thoughts and feelings is exciting but scary, especially when their destinies are tied (for better or worse). And now Meg&#8217;s sister is about to marry a prince to end a war between kingdoms, a celebration that only Meg and Calen know is endangered by a murderous plot. How can a girl, a boy, and a dragon merge their magic and strength to bring down a powerful traitor before it&#8217;s too late? From the author of Library Lion comes a classic middle-grade fantasy soaring with sorcery and suspense, spunk and adventure, friendship and first romance, and a cast of truly enchanting characters.</default-description>
