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?
