Curse of the Thunder Jewel

If he follows her home, does she have to keep him? The half-elven Daleena agrees to be the Dragonlord's consort, unaware she's going to be bound to a magical jewel that's stuck inside the hero who insists on rescuing her. Joren, a hero for hire, agrees to one last job before he retires. He didn't count on being cursed with a magical jewel, or that the lady isn't a lady but only wants to be a lady, and doesn't want to be rescued from the dragon...or does she? Given the chance to attain all she's never dared to dream of, will Daleena throw it away, choosing instead to wander alongside her hero?
