One cold morning, Alys wakes up to discover that she has been falsely accused of witchcraft. After a trial, where practically everyone in her town testifies against her, she is tied up and left as a peace offering for the dragon that has been marauding the countryside. But when the dragon comes, he is not at all what Alys expects. He offers to help her get revenge on all those who wrongs her. Happily, she agrees. But, she soon comes to realize that revenge might not be what she really wants.

This book is really interesting. Full of rich detail that makes it easy to picture the scene vividly, and characters that leap off the page. This is a great fantasy that explores that fact that people, and dragons are not always as they seem.
