Wings of Fire, Arc Four, Book One: The Uncertain Future

In the light of the Breath of Evil's defeat six months ago, Prickle never expected her parents to get the brilliant idea to ship her off to Jade Mountain Academy, despite the constant assassination-attempts and frequent judging glances that seemed to be the norm at that inter-tribal heck-hole. The math/history assignments would be torture, too; and with her first day ending in a strange, surreal dream where a cloaked dragon upon a black throne promises the world in exchange for simple information on the school, Prickle's not quite sure she's the one to investigate the possibility of spies, stop the mysterious figures that seek to do moons knows what with the academy, save the faculty, save her friends, save her grades, dodge the 'sometimes unhappy' principal's disapproval, and stop anything bad from happening. Easy, right? Now, her only issue is a matter of time; all before it's too late.
