“What if everyone’s wrong about dragons?” Cairn asked. He barely dared to voice the thought. “What if dragons can be...trained?"
Farm-boy Cairn can hardly believe it when he is chosen to train as a rider for Star-King Elior.
Far from home in the mountains, where dragons lurk and war threatens, Cairn strives to become a great rider of Callenlas.
Does he have what it takes after all? And what is his friend Arunae hiding?
