A mysterious plague started Kira on her epic quest, but dragons are no longer dying, and it’s all thanks to General Ignatius of the Aurium. He and his people have come from another world to share their magic and help the people of Ragond. They’ve even set up a school for young dragon riders like Kira. It all seems too good to be true, and Kira can’t help but feel that something isn’t right.

For 16-year-old Nova Harris, the last nine years in Florida have been a constant stream of disappointment. With her father dead and her mother missing, she’s been shuffled from one foster home to another. The only connection Nova has to happier times is the strange dragon pendant that makes her yearn to reunite with her mother and have a family again.

The rebellion is in full swing. Nova and Zeph have gathered renegade dragon riders, witches, and Mythoi to take on Ragond’s corrupt Council and bring down the notorious Link Mage once and for all. But years of war have bred distrust between Ragondians and Mythoi alike. They are as likely to fight amongst themselves as they are to take on the Council.

Sixteen-year-old Nova Harris didn’t expect danger when she was whisked away to a magical realm. All she wanted was to find her mother, but instead she discovered a whole new world - one that’s at war. With an uptick in the mysterious interdimensional portals, Ragond needs every dragon and rider to protect it from the Mythoi who continue to come through and attack. And as the intensity of the fight grows, Nova’s mental reserves are further exhausted from the strain of masking her best friend’s illegal dragon bond.

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.

Until a secret from her past on Earth places all of Ragond in jeopardy.... Deadly accidents plague the realm. A shimmering new bridge inexplicably collapses.

The Aurium lied in order to get a foothold in the realm of Ragond, creating a plague and putting all dragons at risk before they magically appeared at the last moment to fix it. Young dragon rider Kira is determined to reveal their treachery and stop them from doing any further damage to her people. The question is, how can she do that when the Council is being controlled by evil magic, and General Ignatius has everyone convinced that Kira is their enemy? Kira and her friends will need to rally troops who have no reason to trust her, and unite forces who have always been at odds.

Yanna is desperate to save her adopted home from the Witch Hunters she once called family. But the timeslip between Earth and Ragond has only grown worse. Memories are distorted, and the lives of both humans and dragons can be wiped out in an instant. With Ragond’s very existence tethered to Earth, Ragondians are forced to evacuate as the magical realm crumbles beneath their feet.
