The Gifted Champion (Book One of the Taegion Chronicles)

The Taegion are an old but formidable race that have lived alongside humans as their protectors for centuries. With their inherited unique ability of shape-shifting into dragons and griffins at will, their society has been untouchable and feared around the world. Following the Old Code, their hierarchy is formed by the color of their transformation, as color is passed down from their parents. That will place them somewhere within their society.

Taken and hidden since birth, Xander knows nothing about his birth or his true parents. All his adoptive parents know is that he was stolen by someone, and promised to raise their new child as normal as they could. They kept their promise, now it is time for Xander to rise to his true potential. His true form. Xander's past will catch up to him sooner than later, and the reveal will be astonishing.

Xander was born in one of the small villages on the outskirts of Fyesari's capital city, Esiopolis. He grew up like a normal child did, made friends with a few of the local boys and prepared his whole life for his first transformations. What color you transformed into decided your future. Your destiny. You either got the potential to rule your whole race, or pick crops in Vulzal's farm in the Troll lands for the rest of your life. Xander expected to be a Green or a Purple like his parents... but when the time came and he felt the urge, things in his life are about to get very interesting.

"Chosen from the few, he will rise as the many."
