Description

Kareen yos'Phelium Clan Korval has always done everything that was proper, rising by study and by example to become the foremost scholar of the Liaden Code of Proper Conduct on Liad -- and perhaps in the galaxy.

Indeed, it seems that the only people she cannot influence to seemly action are the members of her own Clan.

Now, with Plan B in effect Kareen must act. Is she merely an expert of the Code, or is she a DAUGHTER OF DRAGONS?

Trees, propose, dragons dispose.

So it has been for many cycles of growing, many lives of dragons. Trees and dragons alike prosper in cooperation, and when the trees do well, the world does well.

One day, though, the world is turned upside down: A tree is uprooted; a young dragon is cast into action -- and neither one knows what other menace may be born on this DRAGON TIDE.
