On the day Carlee had her ninth birthday, there was no celebration. No one brought her a birthday cake or sang her a song. She didn’t get a toy to play with, or a party with lots of smiling faces. She was a slave of the terrible Master Wallum. But all of that would change, on the day when a dragon emerged from the forest.
