A legendary relic, a dragon-wrought amulet, the Heart of Fire may be the salvation of her people, and Sorcha is willing to pay any price to obtain it, but when she discovers the price is the loss of her humanity, she learns caution too late. Only a hero can save her now, but he isn't human. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

In a world where mankind and dragonkind are pitted each against the other it falls to one young woman to find a way to broker peace and save both races from extinction… and with the help of an ancient artifact which she is destined, from birth, to discover, she does so in a most unique and life-changing manner. Through the changes wrought in her female protagonist, Ms Mumford gives us an interesting dragons-eye view of humanity, but more thoroughly presents what it is to be a dragon.
The only complaint I have is that I wanted more. There are so many potentially interesting facts and perspectives touched upon in the course of telling the story, but few in sufficient details to satisfy the emotional engagement that lay just beneath the surface of the book. This is not to say that it was badly written, just that it could perhaps have been better told as a longer story, rather than truncated as it was. In its current form it reads as being mostly suitable as a young adult novel – with the exception of a couple of intimate scenes – and perhaps that is what the original vision was. However, I think it suffered in that respect, as I so often found myself looking for greater depth and detail that just wasn't there. That said, the characters are well enough drawn to carry the story forward, and thankfully, Sorcha herself is a strong female protagonist who holds her own in the face of a weighty destiny, and visibly grows through the experience, coming into herself at last in the culmination of the story, and potentially into the opening of the following series of stories.
