Bound By Heart

Every curse bears a blessing

For every possession is bought through bondage

Bondage unto to giving soul and blood and all

Recently rescued from prison and torture by a young dragon-rider, Rider makes his way into the magic-guarded mountains- only he does not fear the magic of the forest, for he long ago became friend to magic, and now one of the filient, the magic spirits of the wild black and white dragons, is with him.

When his touch hatches a helpless creature bonded to a human child who is held in the most fearsome and evil palace known to the world, Rider must break his nature or make the fatal choice to give everything and vow his very life to somehow finding the human child to whom the young feather-dragon is bonded. Yet in so doing he most break a part of the very vow written in his heart- the vow which makes him magic's friend- And death is least of the things he may suffer . . .

The mystical journey of one who will defy even his maker, who would rather be unmade than cower,

coming to know that true kingships is to be the servant of all.
