Rosaria Munda - A fire szülötte

Annie and Lee were still small children when a brutal uprising changed their lives, turned their world upside down, and thus gave everyone - even those of low birth - the opportunity to pass a test and become the ruling class of dragon riders. Both became the rising stars of the new order, despite the fact that their origins could not be more different. Annie's impoverished farmer family was killed by dragon fire, while Lee's aristocratic family was exterminated by revolutionaries. They grew up in the same orphanage and formed a close friendship. During the seven years of training, however, they became rivals, both applying for the position of commander of the dragon fleet.
When the survivors of the old power unexpectedly emerge and reclaim their city, the new order is shaken. With his relationship with Annie rapidly changing and war looming, Lee must decide whether to kill his only remaining relative or betray everything he's ever believed in. And Annie has to decide whether to save the boy she loves or to look after the interests of her town.
