Esta é " Primeira Verdade " de Dawn Cook. O protagonista do livro (Alissa) gradualmente aprende a se transformar em chamado de raku, basicamente um dragão.
Alissa doesn't believe in magic. Her father's stories about the Hold, a legendary fortress where human Keepers learn magic from the enigmatic Maters, are just that―stories. But her mother insists that Alissa has inherited her father's magical ability, and so she must go to the Hold―the only place her talents can be trained.
On her way, she crosses paths with Strell, a wandering musician from the plains. And though Alissa is not sure she can trust a plainsman, Strell has something she needs―one of her father's old maps. Travelling together, they can reach the Hold before the snow sets in.
But they don't know that the Hold is nearly empty. Something is very wrong and someone believes that Alissa and Strell knows about a book called First Truth.
Você pode comparar a descrição do livro com a capa do livro abaixo;
Everyone born in the foothills had blue eyes, fair skin, and light hair. It was glaringly obvious that Alissa wasn’t a proper farm girl. She looked too much like her plains-born mother. And though Alissa’s hair and eyes were as fair as her papa’s, she had her mother’s height and dark skin. Alissa didn’t look enough like plains or foothills to be accepted by either, so was scorned and hated by both.
