Description

Mercedes Lackey draws from her extensive knowledge of animals—and her professional background as an avian expert—to create something truly special.

It is a richly conceived, fully realized vision, inspired by the culture of ancient Egypt, the legends of Atlantis — and the science of animal behavior and biology. This is how dragons would live, breed, hatch, hunt, and bond.

The first book in this thrilling new series introduces readers to a young slave who dreams of becoming a Jouster — one of the few warriors who can actually ride a flying dragon. And so, in secret, he begins to raise his own dragon.

The most exciting, authentic and believable portrayal of dragons ever imagined.
