Cynthia Norman knew that she was destined for a strange future?in the past?with a dragon. The only confusing thing was how to get her there. With a lifetime of struggle within a race not her own facing her, she took a deep breath, got into a shuttle and hopped a comet.

Will she accept his offer, or hold his initial rejection over his head?
