The story of a winged-leopard Dreamstar who discovers that dragons, mermaids, and the like actually exist... And the shocking truth of who her mother is.
Fireclaw is a Dreamstar - sort of like a leopard. Plus wings. And the ability to weave dreams using the stars themselves. She finds out that creatures such as dragons, mermaids, and unicorns (long thought to be legend) actually DO exist... Only Fireclaw has the power to reunite the various species. And not only that, but the mysterious "Blackies" have some motive to kill Fireclaw. When she finds out what that motive is, she will be more shocked than any other time in her life.
