Even when growing up, Elia didn't fit in with the other girls. They would dress up in dresses. She wore cloaks. They would cook and sew. She would throw knives. They liked boys. She liked bows. Elia was a bit of an outcast to her village, with her striking dark brown hair that was always kept back in a fishtail plait, and her light blue/green eyes that seemed to change colour in the light. She had no parents, and at 16 lives alone, and breathlessly waits each year to watch the dragons during the Week of Xanithar, admiring the way they fly, wild and free. This year is her year of testing, at 16. The first of the four dragon riders to get to the village can claim it. The moment that dragon rider sets foot on the ground of your village, the emblem of that academy is hung from the flag and any new dragon riders in their village are the new students for the academy. Each village has 4 new dragon riders, this is the way it has been for years. Male or female they are claimed and tested to find the four riders a week after. The challenge for the dragon riders in the Week of Xanithar is to claim as many strong blooded villages as possible. And now it's her turn.

To wizards and mind readers, shapeshifters are disposable. The only way to prove that a shapeshifter is worth more than the dirt on their shoes is to become a dragon rider. Ella plans to do just that. When a stubborn, bad-tempered dragon picks her out of all the young hopefuls at the Choosing Ceremony, her plans go south. She learns an earth-shattering secret about her heritage, and she's trapped at the Dragon Rider Academy, surrounded by potential enemies. She must learn to control illegal fire powers and get along with her dragon if she's going to survive the Academy. And if she manages that, she might have a chance at surviving a mission that could determine the fate of the world as she knows it. *Completed* Awards: -2nd place in the fantasy category of the Lotus Awards 2019 -3rd place in the adventure category of the Creativity Awards 2019 Highest ranking: #1 in #dragonrider #1 in #magicschool #1 in #shapeshifter
