Dragonic Pride

At the end of Book 2, Morrigan and Kyan, with the other escapees from Wost, had fled north and crashed in the wild lands unclaimed by humans. Here, they seem to have found refuge witht he wild dragons, far beyond the Lady's reach, but they would soon learn that a refuge it is not. The wild dragons live in a society in crisis, rapidly declining due to an epidemic they cannot cure. Far from being the help Morrigan needs to battle the Lady, the wild dragons are desperate, and their leader, the Alpha, will do anything to save his people, including exploring any possible use for the strangers from Wost, and disposing of them if they have none. Thre riddles compound and Morrigan has little time before the Alpha makes his decision.
