Unbound (Songs of Chaos, #2)

by Michael R. Miller

‘Do not help those who can help themselves.’ There was dignity in overcoming struggle.

If someone else always picked her back up, she would learn only to fall.

They have a set of beliefs about the world, about the people or dragons in it, about how things are and how they should be, and anything that counters those beliefs, whether it’s true or whether for good, doesn’t matter – they will resist it with every fiber of their being. Even to their own detriment. To change would be worse. To surrender one’s beliefs is to surrender much more.”
