― Bethany Wiggins , The Dragon's Price (Transference, #1)
2 " I do not see how my agreeing to marry a scruffy old brute will have the power to keep a fire-breathing dragon locked beneath a mountain. And if I don’t agree to marry him, will I truly be fed to the dragon? That is savage, and inhumane, and crazy. "
3 " For a split second I wonder what I am doing here on this battlefield, on the front line. I am a princess. I am soft and regal. I am quiet, forgotten Sorrowlynn, who never leaves her rooms.

For the first time ever, I feel like I am living the life I was meant to be living all along. "
