   Summary

   Little Miss Imogen Cardulo is not the lady everyone forces her to be. Expected to behave demure and modest and support Fen's rebellion only from the background, she dreams of being a dragon rider instead...

   Blend of a Coming-of-Age Regency Novel and The Empyrean.
   Everything else is in the tags.

   Don't ask me why I started to write a story about winter in the middle of a heat wave. This is in dedication to everyone who is miserable during heat. If you happen to read it during another heat wave, maybe this helps a little to cool you down. If you happen to read it in autumn or in winter, I hope it warms your heart.
