Story
Valeria writes off Princess Evelyn, who has no magic and is too weak to go far. Then her father is seized, and her sister is left with a broken spine. Evelyn raises a hand, and a storm dragon that vanished seven years ago descends and bows to her. Her royal sorcerer wants that power for himself, and twenty thousand enemies are on the march, and she plans to beat them all without casting a single spell.
