Sixteen-year old Celest Cain has honor of being the Rider of Fírek, the only hatchling of Saphira Bjartskular and Fírnen, and will soon have the privilege of leaving Oromis Isle to act as a full member of the order along with her two closest friends, Marilis Silvertongue and Halle Prince. However, before their graduation, Halle and Celest return to Alagaësia on a special mission to find the land caught between a political struggle. After scorning King Orrin's marriage proposal, High Queen Nasuada's life and country are at risk. Celest, Marilis, and Halle must join the other Riders and their dragons to put an end to Orrin's plot. But the question is not if they can succeed. Rather, it is if they will. *** Special thanks to @Nikkisha16 for all of her help with this description and other things.

Tara is bored. Bored with every aspect of her routinely boring life. Same thing everyday: wake up, eat breakfast, draw, Internet, more boring activities until it was time to go back to bed. This was her routine for the summer, the only exception being Sundays when she was required to go to church. Her father being the pastor, she was there routinely every week at least once a week. The boring routine and boring lifestyle seemed infinite to her until one fateful day, one fateful Sunday. God had a plan for her, a plan involving the fate of the world, a fate involving a dragon. The Hybrids had planned the encounter with the egg for thousands of years, they had planned their revenge on the world for mistreating them. They had cast the curse. If Tara can't unite all the Hybrids in time, avoid her government while her dragon develops, and become a leader all before the burning red spore touch Earth's soil, she will have failed her ancestors. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Original Cover Art: "Dragon's Time" by Anne McCaffrey, art by Les Edwards.
