What hatches from it is not a dragon, it&#8217;s a child called Dru. She looks different, doesn\u2019t say a lot, and likes to talk to the chickens, though they don\u2019t listen much.

He\u2019ll do whatever\u2019s asked of him, legal or not. Now he\u2019s paid to search for those with a touch of magic in them. But magic is unpredictable and hard to find, and he doesn\u2019t have much luck until he meets Dru. There might be real power behind her strangeness, if she could only learn how to reach it.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>When his employer asks Garrett to escort Dru on a journey, accompanied by a scholar, a princess, a guard and a priest, it seems like a simple enough mission, until they fall into the hands of raiders.
