Thanks for feedback.
What do you think about "The gift of flight"?
I like this title best due to the double meaning: The dragons want
mankind to become airborne, to make them more like them, and also
'flight' as in escape. Liza and then others all help Nadia get away
from her mother's clutches so they are offering her 'a gift of
flight'.
