His dragon chose him. War will decide what he becomes.

Ayr Ashbourne has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of his family name.

When he finally gets his chance to become a dragon rider, he bonds with Azura. She is a rare and fiercely intelligent dragon who was never supposed to be his.

Thrown into the dangerous Seminary of Fire, Ayr and Azura must survive brutal trials, hostile riders and dragons, all while Ayr struggles to prove that he belongs among the Commonwealth's elite.

He meets Elanor Sunfire.

An experienced rider with a dragon of her own, Elanor should have been nothing more than Ayr's ally. But her dragon, Evor, is already promised to Azura and the bond between the four of them begins to blur the lines between duty, loyalty and something far more dangerous.

Because Ayr's family has secrets. And ghosts of the past have come back to haunt him.
