Every man in Elizabeth Morrow's family has either disappeared or died. Her relationship with her mother is strained. Her Granny "knows" things, and isn't afraid to share them (much to Elizabeth's embarrassment). The entire town of Fullerton, Michigan calls her the "poor Morrow girl," and rarely in a nice way. Her best friends have their own problems: JR's father is a violent drunk, and April has an abusive boyfriend. Elizabeth thinks her problems are petty compared to theirs. Then a dragon named Kieran crashes the Homecoming dance and calls her by name.Elizabeth learns she comes from a line of cursed dragon slayers. It's up to her, as the last Morrow, to defeat Kieran or die trying. Destiny isn't always what it's cracked up to be. The sorcerer who cast the curse is in town, and needs April's life for his longevity spell. She soon gains an unlikely ally in the dragon she was supposed to slay. Together, they must find the sorcerer, save her best friend, and put an end the curse for good.
