Miriana, an Elven princess, had the misfortune of being born the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and was considered cursed by many. Being unable to hear, she speaks not a word to anyone but her most trusted friend and personal guard, Latiera. Unwanted by her many suitors, she shunned the world and lost herself in the romantic tales of her favorite texts. She adored the adventure and romance of many and found one human author's work to be the most appealing, particularly one that had never been finished. While others trembled in fear of the dragon's voice, Miriana's silent world was changed forever when the first sound she ever heard was the voice of the dragon. She could hear the wyrm's horrifying tongue within her Elven ears and as their relationship grows, the kingdoms of humans and elves learn why a dragon should never lay eyes upon a princess and why some tales are best left unfinished.
