A stand-alone epic fantasy set in the Brightmoon world…
After thirty years as a slave, Findo Gask is struggling to adjust to his new freedom. Unfortunately, following orders is an old habit, which is how he ends up with an apprentice he doesn’t want ... and how he ends up working under the demanding Crown Princess of Caxangur, just like a slave again.
Hopper is an unusual apprentice, and Findo is keeping secrets too--his exceptional skill as a woodworker isn't just elbow grease and experience. When a cryptic world-shattering prophecy seems to point right at them, their magic becomes the target of warring political factions. And just when Findo thinks life can't get any more complicated, he accidentally hatches a dragon, which hasn't happened in millennia.
As the chains and bars start closing in on him all over again, Findo needs to free himself once and for all. If he can't stop thinking like a slave and learn to carve his own path, he and Hopper will never make it out of Caxangur alive.
And even if they manage that, there’s still a dragon to be dealt with...

About the author

Pauline M Ross

I live in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland with my husband. I like chocolate, whisky, my Kindle, massed pipe bands, long leisurely lunches,  chocolate, going places in my campervan, eating pizza in Italy, summer nights that never get dark, wood fires in winter, chocolate, the view from the study window looking out over the Moray Firth and the Black Isle to the mountains beyond. And chocolate. I dislike driving on motorways, cooking, shopping, hospitals.
