Eximius City, a failing city. While the other new cities grew into bustling megalopolises, Jason's city was crumbling into ruin. His parents insisted on staying in Eximius, for a reason he wasn't sure of. When the overlord drug dealers and criminal masterminds can't seem to get worse, he hears news that a mysterious vigilante has been spotted. Most people would avoid a vigilante with a price on their head. Jason normally would consider himself an ordinary person, but something is telling him otherwise. As he delves deeper into the world of crime fighting, Jason discovers that his life is not as simple as he thought it was.

Rowan, the young daughter of the King and Queen, has always been different. She's not your typical princess. But it's not her fault, of course. She can't help that she is deaf, or that the castle's inhabitants always keep their distance. It's just the fact that she's friends with the dragon next door. Yes, dragon. Rokevir is a dragon, and is determined to live up to the expectations of his kind. That is, the usual killing, burning, plundering...until he meets that quiet human girl Rowan. She is the only one who isn't scared of him; she can't hear all the scary and stereotypical stories about dragons that are told all too often. Told in their words, this is the story of an unlikely bond that will change a kingdom forever. © Avalon Lee, 2014. All Rights Reserved.

UNEDITED VERSION ( edited version on my page) In a world where every year, five male children from each city and village between the ages 15-18 are chosen to become dragon riders, what happens when only four males get chosen from one village? And what happens when they test the girls and the fifth child is chosen? Editor Credits: @Weylyn_Wolf @arvialle
