She cried out in pain, but the sound was swallowed by a load roar that rolled through the air like a crash of thunder. Fire sparked around them as embers fell to the ground, and with a rush of wind, Edmund was suddenly off her as huge talons, sharp as razors, encircled his chest and waist. His arms and legs flailed uselessly as he struggled against the dragon’s iron grip, while his shirt was ripped to shreds by the claws that dug into his flesh. The relief Keira felt at being released from her tormenter turned to terror as she watched the enormous creature above her. Sparks shot from its mouth, while its huge wings churned dust into the air and made the trees overhead creak and groan against the sudden onslaught of wind and flame.
