Kay Wyatt lives in a city near the borderlands between human lands and the dragons' country. Although going near the border is strictly forbidden, Kay decides to go rock climbing nearby. When a dragon named Artegal saves her life, they begin a fragile friendship. Artegal wants to practice English and learn more about humans; Kay is curious about the dragons and the history of relations among their kinds. But meanwhile, the truce between the humans and dragons -- maintained by the strict border between their lands -- is starting to crumble from distrust on both sides. Kay and Artegal may be the only ones who can stop an all-out war, but it may already be too late...
I really enjoyed this story. I liked the way that the background was set up so that it was somewhat realistic to have an alternate universe in which dragons and humans live (almost) side-by-side in the modern world. The characters were well developed and the story was a bit predictable, but very realistic. In fact, I was a little disappointed when I got to the end since I wanted to know what happened "next," after learning so much about the main characters. I would definitely recommend this to readers who enjoy stories about the real world, about dragons, and about unlikely alliances.
