Even the most overlooked can effect change

In the world of competitive dragon racing, the ability to communicate with dragons is essential. When Jackson McLoughlin is born into a family of Dragon Speakers lacking this gift, he is labeled 'Creature Deaf.' Without this crucial ability, he can't handle or ride the magnificent beasts. It's simply too dangerous.

Assigned only the most menial tasks around the racing stable, Jackson's sense of inadequacy festers, growing into something much worse. Feeling worthless and a burden to his family, he increasingly isolates himself emotionally.

When an overwhelming urge leads Jackson to Tivet, an abused dragonet, a bond forms between them that transcends their differences, a bond that speaks of resilience and hope. In this unexpected alliance, Jackson discovers a new strength within himself that fuels his fight for what he believes in.

More than malnourished and underdeveloped, Tivet, the dragonet, is a unique creature that defies the norms of the racing community. As Tivet blossoms under Jackson's care, a bond unlike any other begins to form between them. This unusual connection, born from their shared struggles of being misunderstood and underestimated, becomes a source of strength and hope in their challenging journey.

But as the unlikely duo explores their growing bond, a sinister threat looms over their small Irish racing community. Like a creeping shadow, corrupt forces are gaining a foothold, threatening to shatter the harmony and fairness that once defined their world.

As the pressure mounts, Jackson's frustrations transform into a steely determination, setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery.

The stakes are high, and the time for action is now.
