The Phoenix Stone - On Wings of Light, #1

Cursed with the form of a dragon, Prince Liam searches for the legendary Phoenix Stone. Rumored to be able to break any curse, this mythical stone is his only hope of regaining his humanity ... and his life. Then he meets Ryn, the adopted daughter of a nobleman. Unlike others, she doesn't run screaming when she gets a good look at him. Instead, she offers him the hand of friendship and an absolute readiness to throw hands with anyone who treats him as less than.
Suffering from a curse that slowly steals her life, Paladin Eminent Taeryn hides in plain sight. The Light sent her on a deathbed mission with no instructions. Arriving at the palace, Ryn finds a reviled prince in desperate need of a friend. Perhaps her final mission will be to show the prince just how much he's worth, and maybe she'll get to punch a few people along the way. She prays she'll live long enough to help him before the curse takes her completely.
