The Thirteenth Cohort

At Veyrmoor Fortress, Avery Ashford has just earned a place among the 13th cohort of dragon riders. The insignia is real, but so are the daily schedules, group rotations, and commanders watching for more than confidence. When Aldric Thorne orders Avery to check the rotation board, the first test of belonging begins. Training with a bonded dragon, cooperation with three fellow recruits, and emerging magic will decide what kind of rider Avery becomes.
