House of Fear and Freedom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781527229945)

One girl. One dragon hatchling. A sinister world far from home...

When seventeen-year-old Nessa explored the ancient ruins behind her family's new home, she was looking for adventure, just not this much adventure...

After mysterious figures appear through a portal and steal her away, she's shocked to find herself trapped in the Twelve Kingdoms, a beautiful and perilous realm where magic is real, the spires of castles pierce the sky, and dark creatures lurk around every corner.

Not knowing why they took her, she's desperate to escape from the dangerous Dragon Riders who kidnapped her... and discover a way back home.

But when a dragon egg hatches for her, and strange powers slowly awaken within her, Nessa begins to wonder if they know more about her than she knows of herself.

House of Fear and Freedom is the first book in the Wyrd Sequence, a YA fantasy series brimming with magic and adventure. If you enjoy morally grey characters, magical creatures, and sweeping, epic fantasies with hints of slow-burn romance, this is the series for you.
