This novella was a lot of fun! We get a small glimpse into the relationships surrounding Risa. It's a very fast paced quick read. It successfully made me fall in love with Risa and solidified a place in my heart for Issac and Apollo.

A prequel novella for Risa's Destiny in which we see Risa as a kid and her first meeting with Isaac. It was a fun and quick read while we wait for the next Dragon Valley's Lady book.

This was an adorable Ittle novella. A look onto Risa as a child. It was such a great read and will hopefully hold me over for the next book.

This is a captivating read for fans of fantasy and adventure who enjoy slow-burning, mysterious stories with a strong focus on character development, particularly those who appreciate tales of self-discovery, forbidden connections, and the unbreakable bonds between humans and mythical creatures.
