Can Jixin succeed in a world of dragon racing run by powerful women? Can he fight the system and fulfil his dream of becoming a dragon rider? Or does he choose instead to be a dragon physician like his mother? Jixin finds his world suddenly changed when Lu Si, the scion of a Rookery owner, takes a shine on him. He is plunged straight into the lucrative world of dragon racing… Will his life change?
Excerpt:
“A sound woke him up. He opened his eyes and looked into a pair of eyes in the dark. This pair of eyes was familiar.
Lu Si.
She placed a slender finger on his lips.
“We are leaving,” she said.
Jixin sat up abruptly. “What? Where? How?” The air was chest-hurting cold.
In the dark, he felt her smile.
“Can you walk?” she said. “Come with me.”
“You want me to give up on my dream?” Jixin’s words came out sharper than he had originally intended. Lu Si fell silent, staring at him in the dark. Somewhere further down the corridor, Ming Lu snored. Jixin would always remember this moment. He would miss Ming Lu.
“No,” she replied finally. “I am giving you a new one.”
