Goodreads Synopsis:

A red-haired princess loses her family and her kingdom… Now she must rise and fight for her throne!

Princess Yona lives an ideal life as the only princess of her kingdom. Doted on by her father, the king, and protected by her faithful guard Hak, she cherishes the time spent with the man she loves, Su-won. But everything changes on her 16th birthday when tragedy strikes her family!

While preparing to set up camp in the forest, Sinha comes across a stone statue of a dragon. When the statue’s mouth starts to close down on Ao, Sinha slices it open and unintentionally releases an ominous spirit! How will Yona and her friends fight the ensuing havoc?

Review:

We get a history on the Blue Dragons in this volume—why there isn't a village for them, kind of, and what happened to the previous ones. What led to where we met Sinha in the beginning.
It could be considered a creepy story, in a certain light, I think. But overall it ends up being rather sad.
And then on to a new plot with a terribly rude cliffhanger. In the meantime, Hak and Yona are ever-so-slowly heating up. And Yona is getting closer to danger.
This has truly become one of my favorite series, and I can't wait for the next one.
