In the course of a day, Princess Genevieve Cheval discovers her ears are starting to point, that she is really the daughter of an elven Princess that died giving birth to her, and that she has inherited the only weapon that can kill the beast overtaking the forbidden forest...which happens to be the step-brother she never knew. Drawn into the forbidden forest by a mysterious dream, Princess Genevieve is led to Queen Bellaserena of the Pegasaurs by two young elven brothers. She discovers the Queen is with foal and due at any moment. Delivering the young one, Genevieve saves the life of the Queen and her son with the weapon she'd inherited from her dead mother. Bellaserena informs the young Princess that she is destined to a power and a life greater than she'd ever imagined. Now, not only seeking to reconnect with her elven family of origin, she finds out that she is also an integral part of the Prophecy as told in the ancient Dragon Book of Lore. Embroiled in a battle to save the forest and her elven kinsmen from the bloodvine, she soon discovers there is an ancient evil set to destroy her and the man she has fallen in love with, King Leto Sargovia of the Northland. Aware this is a battle to the death, she is ready to commit to any action necessary to protect the love she has found and allow the Prophecy to come to fruition.

The prophecy, a foretelling of a great king born of dragon-human-elven blood that unites all of the races in a millennium of peace is an ancient story told to all dragon hatchlings from the Dragon Book of Lore. A foretelling born of old majic, through the centuries, became just another story to give the young hope. The old believed...the young cannot perceive how it could ever manifest; who would ever want to be other than pure blood dragon? The prophecy existed in story only, until Anaterri Strayarth, a blue dragon living in human form and the daughter of Stragor Strayarth - Head of the High Council of Dragons, saves the life of Prince Leandro Sargovia with a transfusion of her dragon blood. The unification of human-dragon blood sets in motion the beginning of the once dormant tale and a love that transcends time. Grand Magi Aloysius Alamaris, a black dragon hiding in human form, learns of the initiation of the prophecy and plots the ultimate destruction of all who seek to bring the prophecy to fruition. Anaterri and Leandro are now pitted against the ultimate evil, fighting not only for their own lives but also the lives of their children...and they must insure the prophecy is allowed to manifest...at all cost.
