If Mirren’s father finds out she’s raising a dragon in secret, he’ll kill it...maybe even her. She only has one option to keep it from starving to death.

Compete.

Desperate decisions must be made with the approach of the prestigious Seventh Year Trials – a series of treacherous dragon-riding competitions for the nation’s wealthiest youth. But she isn’t a member of the elite, and a vindictive ex-noble is determined to win at any cost in a game all his own.

Mirren soon learns the risks outweigh the reward as the Trials’ dark history rears its head. But she’s in too deep to turn back now...

An action-packed young adult fantasy adventure filled with dragons that will steal your heart, increasingly deadly competitions, and an unforgettable brother-sister bond.


★★★★★ "I loved this story and the attention to detail when it came to world building and dragon riding and the crazily deadly "trials". A great adventure with twists and turns and high danger as the young heroine fights to save her dragon's life. Mirren has just the right level of audacity and common sense for me to want her to succeed." - USA Today Bestselling Author A. J. Ponder
