Gilda is alive, but the kingdom is furious at her defiance. When the town found out that Ewig had not devoured any of their sacrifices for the past 100 years, they nearly declared war on their traitorous dragon lord, only to be stopped at the last minute by Gilda and her friends. In time, they learned to live with the sacrifices that walked among them, and even begrudgingly accepted them back into the community. However, word has reached the emperor and Ramidion, the most powerful dragon in all the land. They do not appreciate Ewig's insolence, and fear that Gilda's life could spark a chain reaction that destroys the delicate balance of power in the world. Now, they have sent their most feared battalion to take care of the matter, and decide whether Gilda and her friends live or die. Every day that Gilda draws breath is a blessing and she has no desire to die now that she has gotten a new lease on life, but can she stand against the whole of the emperor's army? Join Gilda as she comes into her power, and find out what happens when one girl resists and entire nation in The Dragon Champion.
