Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world, giving everyone-even the lowborn-a chance to test into the governing class of dragonriders.

Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee's aristocratic family was murdered by revolutionaries. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet.

But everything changes when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city.

With war on the horizon and his relationship with Annie changing fast, Lee must choose to kill the only family he has left or to betray everything he's come to believe in. And Annie must decide whether to protect the boy she loves . . . or step up to be the champion her city needs

★ "This series opener thrills with dragon action, from aerial tournaments to wartime battles . . . a near-perfect work of high fantasy with wide appeal." Starred Review

★ "Drawing inspiration from The Aeneid and Plato's Republic, debut author Munda generates a plot that moves quickly, tempering fate-driven elements of classical tragedy with hope." -Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review

"From action fans to romance fans, political junkies to fantasy lovers, many different audiences will find something rewarding here." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
