Sommario/riassunto

Trinity Don't leave me here... When Trinity first hears the voice, she thinks she's going crazy. It wouldn't be a big surprise-her grandfather firmly believes he just brought a genuine dragon egg to their dusty little West Texas town. Connor He's from a future scorched by dragonfire. His mission: Find the girl. Destroy the egg. Save the world. Caleb He's everything his twin brother Connor hates: cocky, undisciplined, and obsessed with saving the dragons. Trinity has no idea which brother to believe. All she has to go by is the voice in her head-a dragon who won't be tamed...
