| | A Karleen Bradford Novel: Dragonfire |
 | | Saved from death at birth by his Protector and spirited to the temporary safety of another world, Dahl, now almost 17 and the rightful King of Taun, is brought back to his land to wrest control, seemingly singlehandedly, from the evil Usurper who has reduced Taun's people to slaves. |
 | | At a deeper level, Dragonfire is powered by Dahl's relationship with what Carl Jung called the shadow: that darker, unknown side of oneself that must be met and embraced if true growth is to occur. |
 | | The second stage demands a more difficult acceptance: Dahl must embrace his shadow side, the evil that is as essential to his identity as the good. |
