The Curse of Ash and Blood

To save his village from ruin, a kind young mage named Fable must face off against the dragon. When Blaze-the dragon-can't be reasoned with Fable turns to the local witch, Gwydion, for aid. But no magic can tame a dragon, and where Blaze's temper goes, tragedy follows. Gwydion has only one choice, the witch curses Blaze and blesses Fable.
