Dragels-magical elemental dragons-are considered to be extinct creature types in Neilson Hewitt's world. He's in for a year of confusion and secrecy when he tests positive for a creature inheritance of dragel heritage on his eighteenth birthday, while attending Noir Academy. He has no idea what to do with such knowledge, because if word gets out--then the Federation will kill him for an ancient art that he's never even practiced. But his instincts are going haywire and he can't even tell his friends-will he manage to finish the school year?
