A small North Carolina mountain community is shocked when renowned
bluegrass singer, Angel Bernard, is found murdered in her home. An
unseasonably cold rain begins to fall that night. Fiona, Angel's
teenage daughter and a gifted artist, falls into despair as her
father withdraws. Fiona's only comfort is her grandmother, Rose.
Unfortunately, Rose must travel for a few days, leaving Fiona alone
with her alcoholic father. Before she departs, she asks Fiona to
complete her latest painting and gives her a ruby necklace along
with an incredible story that it was given to her grandmother by a
unicorn. On the night before Rose's return, Fiona decides to honor
her grandmother's wish and finish the painting. Around midnight,
she grows sleepy and goes to bed, when suddenly she awakes, feeling
quite cold. She looks out the window and sees that snow has
replaced the rain, so she decides to paint a while longer. Fiona's
life takes a surprising turn when she is suddenly sucked through
her painting, landing in another world. Leollyn, teenage daughter
of a local dairy farmer (Averi), discovers Fiona asleep on the hot
dusty path in her world: the LoherLans. Leollyn's world, threatened
by scorching heat, is on the verge of total destruction. The young
elf takes a dazed Fiona home to her parents, who, having
anticipated their arrival, impart words of an age-old prophecy to
the girls. In the prophecy, Leollyn and Fiona are named as the
chosen saviors of the universe; to save both worlds, the girls must
embark on a quest to vanquish an evil force (Grimgorrah) and rescue
a dragon: one of two dragons that balance the forces of nature.
Averi also presents Leollyn with a beautiful blue jewel: the twin
to the red gem Fiona wears. Averi accompanies the girls through a
secret underground tunnel system to safely deliver them into the
hands of his lifelong friend, Mirgaynia, an immortal phaerie. In
Mirgaynia's home (Wood Haven), the girls gather more information
about the prophecy. They learn, to their relief, that other
creatures in the land have also been predestined to lend aid to the
chosen heirs; thus unity is formed to defeat Grimgorrah and restore
balance to the worlds. Before they leave Wood Haven, Mirgaynia
explains that each race in the land has a special gift, each
possessing a unique ability essential to the quest's success. Her
gift is a magical mirror and a traveling companion: Jareth, a
unicorn. The unity must secure the remaining gifts before they
arrive in Fayor, the land where Grimgorrah has erected his
fortress. As they journey east, the girls meet an assortment of
magical creatures (dwarves, wravens, sylphs, and merfolk) each with
their own role to play in the fated quest. They witness hardship,
near-death experiences, and feelings of defeat as the journey
progresses and as their problems become more difficult to solve.
Fiona enters the LoherLans with only a paintbrush, a brass key, and
a copper penny, unaware that each of these items has a unique
function in this new world that is sizzling with magic. Leollyn
takes with her on the journey an embroidered handkerchief, a
hand-carved flute, and an intricately carved bird statue, each of
which also plays a vital role if the quest is to succeed. Fiona
ultimately discovers information about her ancestry and why she was
named as the heir to the prophecy. Even armed with knowledge, she
experiences doubt and hardship as she attempts to make sense of her
new life, possibly a life in a new world without her family. Faith
in a Dragon addresses a teenage girl's struggle to accept her
destiny and rely on her faith to survive. Will the girls persevere
and return balance to both worlds? Will they be able to uphold
their faith, fulfill their destinies? Will Fiona see her family
again? The story ends with a twist and sets the scene for a sequel.
The thrilling journey, filled with magic, suspense, and unexpected
turns around every corner begins . . . in Faith in a Dragon.
