Publisher Description

Love, promises, truth…and sacrifice.

For Laise the dragon, life is measured in cycles. Every twenty-five years, the delmen hatch, eating everything and everyone in their path. Centuries past, Laise made a promise: before the hatching, she falls in love with a maiden sent by the city, and then kills her. Only an instrument carved from the bones of Laise’s loved ones can keep the delmen at bay.

One life for the lives of all those in the city and a chance to love, if only briefly. It has always seemed a fair, if cruel, bargain.

Until Elinor.

I'd describe my writing as a little bit strange, fantastical, set in worlds that are new and different, dark but not bleak, ultimately hopeful ... I try to treat each character with compassion and dignity, even the ones who have done wrong.
