There’s never been a female gryphon rider until the day I bonded with Ari. I only wanted to save a blinded gryphon’s life, but the act of bonding with him sets off a chain of events no one could anticipate. We must first prove ourselves at the highly competitive Gryphon Rider Academy, where we train with the nation’s finest young men. If we don’t succeed, our failure is all the proof the Crown needs to take Ari from me.

To support a war on two fronts, the military is relying on drafted soldiers and half-trained gryphon rider cadets like me.

The new, fragile alliance we have with the wild gryphons will be challenged from all sides, as the concept of Wild Flight changes what we believed about the gryphons and who they Link with. While Ari is busy tending to his family, both wild and tame, I help train the newest cadets at the Gryphon Rider Academy. I see hope for a future where only the most compassionate men and women earn the opportunity to Link with a gryphon. For the first time, the yearlings will select their riders.

I fear they’re working off the king’s orders.
