When Kara was very young, she had an illness that no one thought she would recover from. Her family left her near a cave inhabited by dragons, and she was taken in and nursed back to health with the milk from a mother dragon. Kara has no memory of this, but when she recovers she can call birds from the sky. She is an outcast among the people of her father's steading.
King Orrik wants to use Kara to call the dragons that have been plaguing the land, so he can kill them and win the hand of his beloved.
I really liked the second half of this book. Kara meets the dragons, and helps them escape annihilation. She stands up to the king, and is able to get everything she wants.
There is a happy ending, and I understand this is the first of a series. I'll read and review the next in the series sometime this year.
This is a good book for 11-18 year olds.
