Abstract
Dragons are almost extinct: eggs are rare, and the dragons alive are in danger all because of one man.Thad Reinhart doesn't just want dragonriders gone because their role as adjudicators threatens his businesses. His grudge is personal-but there's one thing he didn't anticipate.S. Beaufont isn't like any dragonrider before. She's modern, thinks differently, and definitely doesn't look like a dragonrider. When it comes to tackling challenges, she uses new-world thinking for old-world problems. But will it be enough to beat an evil bent on destroying the planet?
