Welcome to the world of Hardooth...Home of Kovarian one of the Dragonmen who flies dragons to protect their country from their enemies. Being a Dragonman is one of the most sought after jobs in High Country, it is called that because it is on a very large, high plateau that is surrounded on all sides by cliffs. In order to become a member of the Dragon rider flying force, you have to attend a school to become a Candidate. Once you have passed this test, you now have to care for the hatching of a dragon egg. You are given ten attempts...because of a high "dud" rate among the eggs. If you're unlucky and fail to achieve successful hatching in ten tries, you've been deemed an unworthy grounder, a non-member of the Dragon force. Reeling toward the unlucky grounder fate, Kovarin stands at his tenth attempt and desperately needs the whim of chance in his favor.
Follow Kovarin as his fate begins with a hatchling that ignites his adventure in the World of Hardooth in Dara Carr's novelThe Semi-Dragon Tale.
