The remote island of Masquapaug has not seen a dragon in many generations-until 15-year-old Anequs finds a dragon's egg and bonds with its hatchling. Her people are delighted, for all remember the tales of the days when dragons lived among them and danced away the storms of autumn, enabling the people to thrive. To them, Anequs is revered as Nampeshiweisit-a person in a unique relationship with a dragon. Anequs and her dragon may be coming of age, but they're also coming to power, and that brings an important realization: the world needs changing-and they might just be the ones to do it.
