In Glatora, there is no greater honour than taming a dragon. To do so requires bravery, skill, and one hell of crazy streak. To help their children obtain the same glory they did, the greatest Dragon Riders of the generation set up the Draconus Academus, or the Dragon Academy. Here the students learn Aerial Tricks, Dragon Anatomy, and Dracolance 101. Meril Saitasa is a freshman of considerable skill. His father is the teacher of Dracolance combat at the Academy, and knows his way around a lance better than a textbook. He's a typical student otherwise - slacks off, hates his homework, tries to flirt with every pretty thing he sees. But something is brewing underneath the scaly skin of Draconus Acedemus, and the teachers seem oblivious. To save the school, Saitasa might have to flunk his classes - and his father's respect.
