Achilles has always liked drakes more than humans. These large, but flightless cousins to dragons—or more specifically, their knack at training them—was Achilles’ ticket to a comfortable life in the world’s center of commerce and industry: the city of Abylon.
But comfort has a cost—one that Achilles isn’t willing to accept. Several years after abandoning their life and love at Abylon, Achilles sets out to make things right, with the help of their childhood friend and a crew of misfits from the cloud city of Aerie. But the rising tide of an empire bent on expanding their reign and the age-old mystery of the Old Ones complicates their seemingly simple quest.
Who knew rescuing dragons would be so difficult?
