Book Excerpt
Curse of the Midnight Dragon
“Be calm.” The prince pressed his hand on my shoulder and pushed me back onto the lumpy mattress. “Sleep.” His voice seemed to echo inside my head. No, not in my head, but through my entire body. Sleep. That one word made me feel as if a heavy weight had been pressed on top of me, and the only escape from it was to close my eyes and…start…to…drift…“What color dragon is she?” I heard the prince ask as I sailed toward a place where I felt like I might float. It sounded as if he were suddenly speaking from the end of a very long tunnel.“Black,” the man answered. He, too, sounded as if he’d left the room and were miles away. But that didn’t make sense, if he were miles from here, I wouldn’t be able to hear him.“Black? As in the color of the sky at midnight? That’s…not…poss—er—that’s interesting.”“You might not know this, living so far away from the plateau. But like dogs and horses, dragons come in different colors.”What a fool, but I already knew that about the man. Our colors were part of who we were, a part of what formed our powers. And I was the first midnight dragon to hatch in our lands since the Vampiric Wars.“She could be purple with pink polka dots for all I care. What I need is your help to make my dragon into a ridable weapon.”I’m not his dragon.“Yes,” the prince said, his voice lulling me back to that calm floaty place he’d initially sent me to. “I can see how you’d want to make her that. Now, sleep, my unique Amaya. When you wake, you’ll be healthy enough to show me those pretty scales of yours. I bet they sparkle like stars in the moonlight.”
