At the great hatchery of Wyrmridge, every dragon is graded the morning it hatches - war, work, or cull - and Talia, a fifteen-year-old orphan ward, writes down the verdicts she is forbidden to question. The charter is clear about what a ward may become: wards of the guild are ineligible to bond a dragon. The prohibition is absolute.
Then a storm-late clutch arrives cold, and its runt is marked for the cull. Talia carries it into the dark and keeps it warm - and when the shell cracks, the creature bonds to her. A grey, crooked-winged dragon named Ash, who should not survive, should not fly, and does both in perfect silence. And the war the masters have been preparing for is already turning toward the ridge.
To save Ash from the cull and herself from the rules, Talia will fly a route no graded dragon could survive and force a three-hundred-year-old court to recognize what it refuses to see.
Wyrmridge is a standalone YA fantasy about underdogs, rigged systems, and what a weapon is actually for.
