Fighting Chance

Peace has come to Cadwaller, but it hasn't quite reached Tyber in the heart of the kingdom. His family is on the front line. His sister is a dragon rider in the western garrison. And word of whether they survived the final battle has yet to reach him as he continues his studies at the King's Royal Academy of Dragon Riders. Better than sending a letter, Tyber and his classmates are presented a chance to escort a member of the royal family to Aerona. There, the war will officially be brought to an end, and Tyber can see his family and know who among them survived the fighting season. But he's not the only one who wants the honor of being a royal escort. Tyber and his fellow recruits must pool their individual talents and abilities in a series of competitions to prove they are the most worthy of the kingdom's honor and advance on to the final round of study.
