500 years ago, the world burned. A devastating war reduced civilization to ruins, leaving behind a wild, overgrown land where nature flourishes once more.
Dragons saved the earth from nuclear annihilation, once majestic protectors bonded to their riders. But now, those riders have fallen to greed, corruption, and rage. Twisted by power and blinded by ambition, they taint the very creatures that once saved them.
Under the rule of a tyrannical king, the riders serve not the people, but his insatiable desires. Peace is a distant memory-war looms once more.
Unless one soul can rise against the darkness and restore the balance before history repeats itself.

With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally.

But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around.
