Magical Education

For four hundred years, the kingdom of Fross has been ruled by a Dragon. All sorcerers serve him, and every spring his messengers take young people with magical power to the castle. The Dragon decides who will learn and who will die.
Seventeen-year-old Tissa could never have imagined that the messengers would come for her. But having discovered her power, she no longer wants to obey the age-old traditions. This means she will need all her courage. After all, all she has to do is stand against the Dragon, the Omnipotent Council, and even her beloved.
