Avatars of Destruction possess a volatile disposition. They thrive on chaos and decay, and their horns and plated scales are as hard as forged metal. Because of their affinity with darkness and the destructive forces of nature, it was once thought that these dragons were omens of ill fortune.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Justice is well aware that she is not meant to exist. The fiery passion of her mother had managed to tempt Citadark away from his beloved one night, captured by the excitement that he had longed for so much since settling down with Kalina. Yet nobody had predicted Justice coming along. It had been tragic at first. Her sister was so loved, but there was Justice, alone in the world. Her biological mother had long left her, preferring a life on the road over that of raising a child. Nobody had seen Citadark since her birth. It had been Kalina who had raised her, but Justice longed for Kalina to be her mother, her real mother, not just the dragon who packed her off to school in the morning, while blinking back the tears welling in her eyes. Justice loves her, but she loathes the siblings she was raised with who have Kalina's blood running through their veins, and how they take for granted what she would so long to have. Being related to the dragon who raised them.
