Wings of Crystal by Karen Kanouse

Raising a baby dragon in secret is no easy task, especially with danger crowding in from every direction.

In a world where magic and danger intertwine, Zia and her magician companion, Jakari, face an impossible task: raising the only baby dragon in a thousand years—in secret. As they leave their companions to find a sanctuary for Evandar's growth, they plunge into a labyrinth of peril.

But safety remains elusive as sinister forces interfere. Hunted by men wielding enchanted blades and believing Jakari dead, a bereft Zia is left to find a way into a system of caves where the missing prince is being held. To survive and gain entry, she strikes a desperate bargain, becoming a servant to a corrupt and evil Squire magician.

Amidst the echoing tunnels of a mountain range, where they hoped to nurture Evandar in peace, Zia grapples with her despised servitude while still harboring a desperate mission: to locate and rescue Xavier, the captive prince and raise the dragonet to his full potential.

In this gripping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds of magic, with adventure, action, magic and epic battles, can Zia protect the dragon she loves, save the imprisoned prince, and unravel mysteries that threaten to consume them all?
