This story has multiple POVs. You have Lord Tristram who is a half dragon and cousin to the king. Bet who is the king's shadow. Princess Gillian who is glad that she is no longer a contender for the throne. Prince Roland who everyone  underestimates since he's only nine. Rhinnon and Hafgan who are dragons and Sir Sidonnie who is captain of the King's guard. This was a good start to a trilogy and I cannot wait to see what happens next.
