A young, fierce, white-haired orphan lives in the tribe of Dragon Valley. Humans live in mutual peace with the dragons and the other odd inhabitants of their culture; trading cloth for an adventure; medicine for protection . . . and so on and so forth. But now it's time to ponder- what would have gone differently in this young girls life if she followed the rules? If she wasn't the free-spirit that graces the valleys and hills with her unnoticed beauty? What if she hadn't stormed off that day in a loud rage, or what if she hadn't stopped to investigate what she found? A young, meager, black-haired orphan nearly escaped death with everything intact. The only thing that was missing he just couldn't seem to recall- oh, yes! His memory. He found himself utterly lost, deprived of hunger and dying of thirst. One day he finds he just can't take one more step and he collapses in a heap of sorrow of lost hope. Death inches closer and he finds that he isn't afraid. Two children without a family. Pushed aside by the only people that took them in. They are the only ones that can stop everything from falling apart. Old memories brought to the surface; shocking information that could very possibly bring about death; new powers unleashed and the definition of family forged from the jaws of despair.
