"And the fifth Rider is . . ."
*
Princess Ashlyn Rehlia of Nightshorne wants escape.
Since the assassination of her father six years ago, she's been her mother's slave, barred from the outside world. But this year, she plans to change that by attending the Selecting, the ceremony that chooses the kingdom's newest dragon-riders-in-training. The only problem: her mother refuses to let her attend, forcing Ash to think of a creative solution.
When Ash finally escapes her mother, she is offered the chance of a lifetime, a chance she can't possibly ignore. But when secrets arise, identities are revealed, and the very nature of the world hangs in the balance, Ash finds herself right in the middle of it all, the deciding factor in an equation she doesn't fully understand.
For star's sake, she just wanted a simple life. How hard could it be?

Evil killer dragons in the mountains, a folks tail or just a simple bedtime story the hunters would tell the towns folk. How much of it was true?
With no hard evidence or no one ever seen these dragons apart from smoke without fire and a few roars that would echo through the Kingdom, everyone had their own story and opinion.
'If the beasts are real, they don't bother us so we don't bother them.' The king would tell everyone. That was until his daughter goes missing and is assumed eating and killed by the dragons.
Being a Princess wasn't all Ashley thought it would be and who would when your kingdom is attacked when you are just a child. Forced to flee her home, her family and her entire life. How will she manage to stay alive?
Her whole life and her whole beliefs about the world was changed by one act of kindness.
Battling for her life, her kingdom and her new family how will she handle it all?
