Why fly a machine when you could ride a dragon? The government told them that mechanical fixed wing flight was impossible. Not for lack of technology or ingenuity, but because anything that gets into the skies better be faster or tougher than the monsters that rule the air. The Wright brothers ignored those warnings and got the first airplane off the ground for seven seconds. But as one of the terrible creatures tore it from the sky, they found they should have listened. Decades later, Wilbur Wright’s son Raymond is going to pick up where his father left off. He’s going to get the machine flying again—even if it kills him. Cici’s only dream was to be a dragon rider. She worked harder than any other cadet to get there, and now, having finally graduated from the academy, she wants nothing more than to patrol the skies and protect the people as a member of the airborne elite. But when the government assigns her to babysit the crackpot who thinks he can replace the powerful dragons with man-made machines, Cici finds she might be out of a job before she even gets started. And when they discover an insidious threat even greater than man-eating monsters, Raymond and Cici will find that far more than their dreams of flight, fledgling careers, and budding romance are at stake. *** It's the Roaring Twenties—speakeasies are around every corner, jazz is burning up Harlem, and the dragon population is booming. But it's a lonely job for the brave Coat Wardens who patrol the skies of the Eastern Americas, as love is even harder to hold on to than the dragons they fly...
