Descrip­tions

Abel aurait adoré être un des protecteurs de la cité comme son frère Silas, chevaucher à dos de dragon dans tout Drakopolis, la cité ultramoderne aux tours étincelantes dans laquelle les dragons servent à tout, livraisons, gestion des déchets, transports… Au lieu de cela, il est juste un collégien normal. Jusqu’à ce qu’il se retrouve pris au piège entre deux des gangs qui opèrent dans les bas-fonds de la ville, à cause du vol d’un dragon par sa sœur Lina… Quand il rencontre Karak, le dragon l’impressionne énormément… mais tous deux se lient immédiatement. Pour libérer sa famille menacée par les gangs, il va s’enrôler dans ce monde de courses illégales de dragons… Mais au fond, qui a raison ? Lina, qui se sert des dragons pour s’opposer au gouvernement ? Silas, qui suit aveuglement les directives du pouvoir ? Abel commence à penser que le bon chemin est ailleurs, et que peut-être les dragons méritent-ils d’être libres…

In a modern mega-city built around dragons, one boy gets caught up in the world of underground dragon battles and a high-stakes gang war that could tear his family apart.

Once, dragons nearly drove themselves to extinction. But in the city of Drakopolis, humans domesticated them centuries ago. Now dragons haul the city’s cargo, taxi its bustling people between skyscrapers, and advertise its wares in bright, neon displays. Most famously of all, the dragons battle. Different breeds take to the skies in nighttime bouts between the infamous kins—criminal gangs who rule through violence and intimidation.

Abel has always loved dragons, but after a disastrous showing in his dragon rider’s exam, he's destined never to fly one himself. All that changes the night his sister appears at his window, entrusting him with a secret...and a stolen dragon.

Turns out, his big sister is a dragon thief! Too bad his older brother is a rising star in Drakopolis law enforcement...

To protect his friends and his family, Abel must partner with the stolen beast, riding in kin battles and keeping more secrets than a dragon has scales.

When everyone wants him fighting on their side, can Abel figure out what's worth fighting for?
