The Acadmey of Dragon Riding Excellencecy has been hiden for 425 years, but it had few riders. People were loosing their 'belief'. That, among other things, cause them to be unable to be a dragon rider. In a small town, three men in black, red and gold cloaks are asking people to send forth the thirteen year old children to test for dragon riders. The villages' strongest hunter, a teenage tom-boy, agrees to test. She pulls back her hood, letting her brown braid hang down. Her brown cloak hung loose on her frame. She tests positive, and is wisked away, to the magic world of TADRE, & dragons! She fights to blend with the other male riders, and earn the trust of her dragon, and her peers! When the acadmey plays a hiden card, she is forced to flee, and she learns a few things she had hid from herself... She also discovers the school and its' staff have more secrets than she'd like to know about... What readers are saying about TADRE: "Too good." "So many plot twists. Love it." #938 in fantasy!!! #1 in dragonriders
