Synopsis: Sarah Beauhall is a young woman who has loved fire and the lure of the forge all her life. She is now living her dream as a blacksmith, by day creating works that are practical and fanciful, and working nights as a props manager for lowbudget movies to pay the bills. When Sarah's favorite sword is broken on the set of a new movie, it sends the director into fits, and Sarah agrees to repair the blade to avoid reshooting scenes. One of the extras--who claims to be an actual dwarf--shows up at her forge and offers to help Sarah with her destiny. That's when things start to get weird. Could the sword really be magic, as he claims? Are dragons really living among us as shape-shifters, and are evil power brokers controlling our world? And why would he think that Sarah would be willing to kill a Portland investment banker just because he says that the guy is one of those supposed creatures? She refuses to believe ... and then one of the dragons makes its move. Suddenly, what was unthinkable becomes all too real. And Sarah will have to decide if she can reject what is safe and become the heroine that is needed to save her world.
