by Janet Lee CareySummary: Rosalind's mother, the Queen, used a stolen dragon's egg in a spell to conceive her, and as a result, was born cursed with a dragon claw on the ring finger of her left hand. The Queen has kept it covered with a golden glove for Rosalind's entire life, and has done unspeakable things along the way to keep the secret. When Rosalind is a teenager, villagers kill a female dragon. This causes the dragon's mate to retaliate, sending the village into a mass panic. The dragon eventually takes Rosalind, but instead of killing her, forces her to raise his now motherless children, called "pips." During her imprisonment, she grows to love, fear, and revere the dragon pips and the dragon, Lord Faul, and learns the truth of her heritage.
My thoughts: If you liked Eragon, you'll love this story that also brings to life a dragon as a main character. Beautifully written, frightening, and suspenseful.
