Crystal Pawn

Deirdre Hawes had never thought of her life as extraordinary until one day she met the father she never knew she had and thus began the adventure of a lifetime in another world. Armed only with the knowledge that she is heir to special magical gifts and is the only one who might call on the aid of the long-vanished dragon kin, she finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue and murder that sends her into the care of the one being who can save her if only she can find a way to gain his trust and give her own in return.
