Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

Elle is one of fifteen dragons handpicked by the Anu clan leader, Athia, to help quell the rebellion during the clan war. There is one word used to describe Elle more than any other, impatient. She is young, headstrong, and she expects the world to move at her rapid pace. Serving in the council has been a true test of her patience. Her belief is that the time to fight the rebellion is right now, and she doesn't have patience for the careful planning of the council. Still, patience comes with maturity, and the council knows that her usefulness in the war far outweighs her greatest fault. Elle just needs to grow up a little. However, looks can be deceiving. She is as beautiful as a butterfly and as deadly as a viper, which is exactly why Athia brought her in to fight against the rebellion. Combining her youth with raw sparring talent, Elle has the makings of a great strategist and leader. Her youthful energy might also be the very thing needed to spur the elders into taking decisive action.
