Moon High School is America's biggest to house creatures of legend. Placed in Xerxes, Ohio, Moon has been known to the world to accept applications from those who are wanting to fit in and control their creature side. Humans are accepted in as well, despite they being a minority in the school, what with their families having them attend further to their education elsewhere.
Aeron Regnard, formerly Keir, is the son of the principal of the school, Sebastian Bradly, previously Keir. Bradly, as he is most known by, doubles as the town's, and therefore the school's, personal protector. He prevents the nation's scientists and army bringing possible harm to the students.
Bradly had recently gifted Aeron the family heirloom, a weapon. But Aeron still has not an idea on how to use it, let alone 'bring it out of its obsolete form of a cane' even three months after receiving it.
Thing is, Bradly's a demon, and Aeron's a human. And he must attend Moon, where all the creatures of the night are.
Hated by the people she's sworn to protect, dragon rider Neely Lynch searches for her stolen dragon while struggling to control the dark powers inside her.
*****
After the Culling of Naughton -- a horrific slaughter that led to the murder of several dragon riders and the destruction of two separate armies -- Neely Lynch is on the warpath. Unbeknownst to most, Neely and her friends survived the Culling and are determined to reunite with their kidnapped dragons at any cost (even if that means leaving a trail of broken and bloody bodies behind them). But finding her dragon soon becomes the least of her problems when Neely discovers her disappearance after the Culling has only added to her reputation as the infamous Vidalin Rider. Hated and scorned by the people she's sworn to protect, Neely must find a way to prove she's not the villain everyone thinks she is before her dark and deadly powers, which are slowly growing beyond her control, transform her into the very thing she's trying not to be.
[The Rider's Legend can be read as Book 3 in The Rider series, or as a standalone -- but note that it will spoil Book 1 and 2]
