Dragons have always been the spike of entertainment for thousands of years. While some may be fascinated by how they look or act, it's the World Wide Combat Arenas' that brings the most attention.
Everything is going perfect for rookie, Nicole Lyllis and her Teamed dragon, Killian, until rumors of war begin to come true. Though, this war is different. Other nations have teamed up against Lizan, their home land, and instead of using men for armies -- as was agreed to be the only way to attack -- the opposing countries are now using their dragon teams as a new way to destroy. And it's working.
Ripped away from the life that they worked so hard for, Nicole and Killian are forced into the draft to train for war. Nicole quickly finds that she clearly has no allies or friends.
When weakness is targeted and preyed upon, Nicole and Killian fight desperately to hide their secret that could give anyone the ability to control and defeat them. But it's when some of the top army elites come to play, that Nicole has to be the most alert to keep her secret hidden. Yet, she doesn't know that someone there is watching and helping her.
Word is that there's a leak in the Rankings, one so powerful, that it might be the very thing that Nicole fears most.

"Stop! Stop doing this!" I shout, my voice scratchy.
He shows no sign of hearing. Then his right hand unexpectedly reaches out towards me with strict command. Suddenly, I'm flung into the air and land with the air knocked out of me. I look up to see him walking towards me, like he's in no hurry.
"I will never stop, Nicole! Not until I get what I deserve!" he shouts back at me with sick pleasure and anger.
Suddenly, his hand clenches and I find I really can't breath. I try to inhale, but no air fills my lungs.
"I will never stop."
