by Gloria Oliver
|
|
Talia didn't want to be apprenticed, not even to the prestigious Dragon Knight's Guild. She is taken to the school by a cross-eyed dragon and his partner, Kel. A dizzying, madcap ride leaves her less than eager to be a knight, but soon she finds out the guild has need of many types of people.

Dragged from his home and into the company of the undead, Toshi must use his skills to help the creatures holding him hostage. The alternative is to fail and become one of them.

Violently ripped from his people and yet not quite fitting in with those who take him in, Torren has spent most of his life avoiding his past. One act of kindness will change this, invariably driving him to face all he'd rather leave forgotten. Things grow more complicated as it seems that not only is the evil from the past to be repeated, but it's somehow connected to the impending war of two countries, the impact of which would be felt through the world. Torren's duality might be the only thin... more info>> 2004
