Three heirs to the kingdom prepare for war. Princess Elysia, the youngest of the three--her beauty known to all--is discontent with her life of luxury. She wants freedom and adventure, but most of all she seeks approval from her father, King Alan. In her efforts to impress her father, she ends up doing the opposite. Her schemes and manipulations force the King to hire a guardian, a mysterious and protective man, whose neverending presence brings only frustration to the Princess. Then we have Prince Ralf, twin brother to Elysia. He is dragon bonded to the most powerful dragon in Lyra. Together they continue to improve their powers and prepare for war. Finally, Prince Henry. The oldest sibling and heir to the throne. Arrogant and selfish, he spends his days sleeping in and training his troops for battle. To his annoyance, King Alan begins delegating some of his duties to Henry, forcing him to make important decisions that impact the entire kingdom. With war around the corner, these heirs must be ready for anything. And while they each possess their own skills and abilities, they also have a lot to learn.

Set during the medieval times, dragons have become a rare sight. When the king's dragon lays an egg, King Nicholas orders the capture of its bond mate. Ariana was born bonded to a dragon named Fuego. The two of them grow up together and learn their unusual abilities while hiding out from the king. But one day an attack from another kingdom leaves Ariana an orphan and she is sent to the castle to learn more about her abilities and to train for war. Not only does Ariana have the privilege of sleeping in a luxurious master sweet but she also gains the affections of a handsome knight. The only problem is Prince Alan and his distaste for Ariana. With the threat of war, Prince Alan and Ariana have to put aside their differences and train their dragons to save their kingdom.

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
