"As a thousand years of peace shatter, a rebellious village girl and her dragon stand against an empire.
Astria's only dream is to become a Dragon Rider, like her ancestors who once forced peace upon their warring neighbors. But when her father disappears, Astria is left unpartnered and untrained as the dragons leave the valley.
All but Zephyr. Crippled and flightless, he refuses to leave Astria's side after she saves his life.
But the Council of Elders forbids their partnership, fearing a catastrophe foretold by an ancient prophecy. Defiance of their orders risks exile—and certain death—in the hostile highlands of the Wild.
Determined to fly no matter the cost, Astria is quickly embroiled in a renewed conflict between empires, where only one person understands her desires: a warrior from another land.
From award-winning author Ray Strong comes an exhilarating new fantasy series, where sacrifice and defiance collide in a battle for survival, and love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
Perfect for fans of Eragon and The Hunger Games."
