DRAGON BORN
Book ID/图书代码： 01240014B66971
English Summary/英文概要： Naomi has crafted an amazing story that will appeal to readers everywhere. Every ten years, the local wizard--known as the Dragon--takes a seventeen-year-old girl from among the local villages and makes her his companion. Though some say the Dragon never touches the girls, they nonetheless come back...changed. To be Dragon-born is heavy burden on both parents and child--though not for Agnieszka. Everyone knows the Dragon takes only the most beautiful, the most special, and in Agnieszka’s year, that is Kasia who fits that description perfectly. Only, when the time comes for choosing, it is the tattered, scattered Agnieszka that the Dragon chooses--because, as he later ungraciously informs her, "when the talent is found, it must be taught." But the Dragon’s reluctant attempts to teach Agnieszksa magic are matched only by the disastrous results that arise whenever she attempts a spell. Yet when a creeping evil threatens the kingdom, Agnieszka and the Dragon must learn to combine their antithetical talents to hold back the tide--and, in the process, come to realize that their constant, irritated bickering may in fact hide a deep and abiding attraction....
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 内奥米精心创造了一个惊人的故事，它将吸引各地的读者。每隔十年，被称为龙的当地向导会在当地的村子找一个十七岁的女孩成为他的伴侣。虽然有人说龙从不会碰到女孩，她们仍然会回来……有所改变了。无论是父母还是孩子，成为龙裔都是沉重的负担——但不包括阿格涅斯卡。每个人都知道龙只带走最漂亮最特别的孩子，在阿格涅斯卡的这一年，卡西亚是第一个完美符合描述的孩子。但是，当选择的时间到了，衣衫褴褛的阿格涅斯卡被选中了，正如他后来粗野的告诉她的一样“当天赋被发现，它必须被教导”。但是龙的不情愿的教导只让阿格涅斯卡每次念出符咒都发生灾难性的后果。当又一个邪恶的威胁蔓延到王国，阿格涅斯卡和龙必须学会结合他们对立的天赋来阻挡威胁的发生，而且，在这个过程中，逐渐认识到，在他们不断的争吵背后实际上可能隐藏了很深，而且持久的吸引力。(LNL)
