In a modern mega-city built around dragons, one boy gets caught up in the world of underground dragon battles and a high-stakes gang war that could tear his family apart. Banished from Drakopolis to a desolite frontier town, Abel and his family must face a harsh new reality: life without dragons. Far from the lights and lizards of the megacity, Abel's new home effectively bans the creatures. Anyone caught smuggling dragons are hauled away by the ruthless sheriff. The only exceptions to this rule are the dragon rodeos, rare occasions where dragons are brought in from the city to perform for the town's mining families. Abel has made it his mission to free mistreated dragons from captivity. Is he willing to risk everything to help the beleaguered beasts?
