Redheart by Jackie Gamber

What I like best about Redheart are its misfit characters. There's Kallon the dragon, who turned his back years ago on his own kind as well as humans, after his father was killed by a human. Kallon mopes around his cave, waiting to die, except when foraging for food. Then there's the maiden Riza, who's turned her back on her family and town because she doesn't think like everyone else. After her fiancee cautions she'll get "a burnin' platform to stand on" if she keeps asking dangerous questions like whether the sky is just the beginning of the world instead of the end, she packs her bags and leaves. Finally, there's Jastin, who hasn't turned his back on anyone but tries to use both humans and dragons for his own revenge. One day they all meet and so begins Redheart, a great fantasy adventure by Jackie Gamber.
