Dragon Unchained - Susan Tietjen

Lady Theona McArthur thinks opening The Keeper, a forbidden ancient relic, will help her find the love of her life. At least that's what her dreams tell her. But instead of being shown where this handsome boy with violet eyes lives, she becomes possessed by evil spirits and is imprisoned for violating the laws of Kildaria. Then rumors of war bring a foreign prince to seek an alliance with Kildaria, and Theona's shocked that Prince Gideon Seville is the young man of her dreams, the one with the violet eyes. When Theona is condemned to death for transgressing the law, those evil spirits-the shades of sorcerers long dead-offer her one reprieve. Just learn to use magic she never knew she had to return them, and their two ferocious dragons, to mortality, and they'll set her free. She has no choice but to comply, but she fears that if the sorcerers don't destroy her, the lure of magic could. Her chance friendship with Prince Gideon blossoms into the love of a lifetime, but even together, will they have what it takes to beat the odds against evil sorcerers, magical dragons, war, and death?
