For generations, dragons and humans have lived side by side, but becoming a true dragon rider has never been easy. Nestled among towering cliffs and endless skies, Dragon Rider Academy is the most prestigious training school in the archipelago. Young riders from every tribe and island arrive with their dragons, hoping to earn their place among the legends of old. Some students arrive seeking adventure. Others seek glory. And some arrive carrying secrets that could change everything. As rivalries ignite, friendships are tested, and dangerous training exercises push riders beyond their limits, strange events begin unfolding around the academy. Dragons have been acting strangely, ancient ruins have been discovered beyond the known islands, and rumors spread of a forgotten threat hidden in the far reaches of the sea. With tournaments, flight trials, expeditions, and mysteries waiting beyond every horizon, the students must learn what it truly means to trust their dragons—and each other. Because at Dragon Rider Academy, earning top marks isn’t the greatest challenge.
