The Dragonslayer's Sword

Astrid assumed all dragons should be killed - until she met one that changed her mind. In the medieval Northlands, a dangerous family seeks power. They slaughter anyone who gets in their way. Only children's rhymes hint at what's to come. No one recognizes the danger at hand. Astrid doesn't know she holds the key to this power. She's just a blacksmith who makes swords for dragonslayers. But Astrid has a dark secret: A dragon once chewed her up and spit her out. She hides the old scars covering her body through shapeshifting. But the time for hiding is over. The world Astrid knows is about to change. If she fails to change with it, everyone she loves will die.
