This versatile author has wowed readers and critics alike with her books Molly's Fire, which was nominated as Georgia state's best book in 2002, the highly-reviewed The Double Life of Zoe Flynn, the critically acclaimed Wenny has Wings, which won the Mark Twain Award in 2005 and was a Finalist for the Washington State Book Award and the exciting fantasy, The Beast of Noor.

Far away on Wilde Island, Princess Rosalind is born with a dragon claw where her ring finger should be. To hide this secret, the queen forces her to wear gloves at all times until a cure can be found, and Rosalind can fulfill the prophecy that will restore her family to its rightful throne.

But Rosalind's flaw cannot be separated from her fate. When she is carried off by the dragon, everything she thought she knew falls apart...
