The moment Ari and I have trained for is here: we’re heading to war.

To support a war on two fronts, the military is relying on drafted soldiers and half-trained gryphon rider cadets like me. From the second we arrive, Ari and I are selected to join a dangerous strike force and tasked to carry an unstable mage into combat, who is likely to set us all ablaze by accident.

Back home, politics and in-fighting has split my nation in half. Many support Crown Prince Isaac’s reach for power, buying his talks of change and prosperity while Altare’s future hangs by a thread. Hopefully traditional and spiteful King Cortes can decide what he stands for before the royal family can bring our country to ruin.

I know there are many hoping I don’t survive my time on the Storm Front, but I am determined to stay alive despite all odds to graduate as the first knighted female gryphon rider. Ari and I have overcome too much to back down from extraordinary circumstances.

Dragon Riders of Pern meets Song of the Lioness in this YA fantasy series in which a pair of underdogs rewrite what’s possible in a formerly all-boys military academy and beyond. If you like determined heroines, iron-clad friendships, and majestic creatures, then you’ll love Gryphon Rider Academy!
