Inferno (Talon #5)(104)

But, at its core, Talon is a story about “othering,” and how we perceive those who are different than us. Those who look different, talk different, see the world differently—we don’t understand them, and so they must be “bad.” When, if we just sat down and had a real conversation, we might discover that we’re much more alike than we thought. Ember and Garret both challenge the beliefs they were raised with, finding friendship, acceptance and love with someone their society believed was “evil.” If we could do the same, if we could all take that first step toward acceptance and understanding, we might make the world a kinder place. Think of all the things we could learn, if we saw the world through another’s eyes.

That’s not to say we’d discover dragons have been living among us all this time…

But you never know.
