Kindling

Summary

Since olden times, dragons and humans have been at war.

In a bloody struggle between humans and dragons, you and your sister are a bitter memory that taints humans, while dragons view you with indifference. Rarely pity.

You are a Kindling.

A mistake.

Raised in secrecy, your world was small but idyllic. Only your twin sister and you, growing up under the watchful eyes of Mother, running around the land close to the house that you called home.

There was no concept of wrongness in your world. Mother was firm but fair. Loving.

Until one fateful night, Mother had ushered your sister and you on a ship, leaving your tiny world behind. Never explained the reason, the hurry. And you couldn’t ask, not when you saw the fear in her eyes.

Once arrived at this mysterious destination, she took you deep into the island’s forest. But no one anticipated the dragon attack, or how it left you separated from Mother.

Left alone on a strange island, you were soon taken under the wing of a dragon and his family. Can this last?
