Skywild

Twelve-year-old orphan, Grace Fairlight, is thrilled to be leaving the hateful boarding school where she has been living for eight years and to be returning across the wild seas to the windswept Isles of Yorn.

Home to rare, wild dragons, the islands are ruled by powerful Houses. These Houses battle for dominance every year in a wild dragon race known as the Skyrace, a brutal life-and-death event.

Grace is adopted by her Uncle Jebediah into House Blackett. She knows very little about the islands and only has fragments of memories from her early life. But when she discovers the truth about her parents’ death, Grace becomes determined to right the wrongs of her past and restore her true heritage.

Can Grace prove herself and stop the vendetta against female dragon racers? And will she finally learn the truth about her past?

Naomi Conran’s thrilling and exhilarating story, Skywild, is a fantastical quest of wild dragons, brutal competitions, corruption and cruelty, and the power of spirit and determination.
