內容簡介 An orphan girl discovers she has dragon blood--the key to immortality. Hunted by an evil necromancer, she must learn to control her emerging powers if she is going to stop him. "A hero forged in fiercest flame, A child of iron and pain. By blood shall heal and chasm seal A kingdom torn in twain."--The Final Prophecy from the Tome of Terrible Tomorrows* *Also known as Odolf's prophecy. (But only by Odolf!) All the best stories and adventures start with a knock at the door... Or the thwump of a dragon's tail at the entrance to her cave, in the case of Emba Oak. But then nothing about Emba's story is normal; from the scales on her arms and legs, to the shocking discovery that she hatched out of a dragon's egg. Even more shocking is the news that an evil sorcerer is after her dragon blood and will do anything to get his hands on it. Can Emba keep herself safe or will her loved ones pay the price?
