Firedrake

In the land of Perin, the mystical Firedrake is the source of power and longevity for the evil ruling Arkanan wizards. But signs portend their doom:The maggots disappeared, and Varian shot a scornful look at Hinton as she replied. "The same thing, Kron, always the same. The Firedrake destroyed by our three enemies, a blind woman, a madman, and a wizard."Although Shan cannot see well and is barely an adult, she teams up with her unlikely companions " a madman (a handsome but rather depressed warrior) and a wizard (a well-intentioned but ineffective magician) " to destroy the Firedrake and free the Perinan people.
