Richard D'Cygnet has made his decisions

He reached out and grasped the power of the kingship of Westfeld. Now he must face the consequences and repercussions of what he has chosen. The challenge is to stay alive through it all. There is still the Magic he must learn to control. Oh, and a Dragon he must work out a relationship with; and there is his Queen, his Love, the Rose of Westfeld. Never mind facing his envious stepfather, Aldric King of Calmora and Albon, as his equal.

Richard has faced the "Turning Point" in his life, but it is yet to be seen if he will survive the confrontations to come, in this thrilling conclusion to The Dragon and The Rose.
