Thrown from the life she thought she knew, Zzara has to restart her existence with no mother, no father, as a dragon denied.
Zzara was excited and happy on the day it all fell apart. Her father had married another dragon, and the new lady of the house had no interest in his mistress living on her new property.
Her mother takes her own life, her father is trying to pretend that she doesn't exist, but that is not something Zzara is willing to tolerate. Not anymore. The investigators bring her to her father's house, and Zzara makes sure that her father's new wife understands what her threats brought about.
She flees to the desert, a plan to start over at Rekker City, but she takes a few days to mourn. A hidden child, she had never had a plan for a life away from her mother. She meets those who are willing to help her make those first steps, and then, she is off and running.
