description: Elana though still a first-year student at the academy of the interstellar Anthopological Service is elated by the chance to take part in her father's perilous mission to the medieval planet Andrecia which is being invaded by colonists from a young starfaring Empire. How can they drive the Imperials away without revealing their own alien origin? The key to the plan is a woodcutter's son named Georyn who believes the menace beyond the forest to be a dragon. To him Elana is an enchantress who can give him magical powers that will enable him to defeat it. But she soon finds that this role is no mere pretense and that her feeling for Georyn is deeper than she ever expected it could become.
