Being bonded to a dragon, Dax Hunter knows he shouldn't be afraid of heights. But he is. And unfortunately, his dragon, Fleetwing, happens to be the fastest wind wyvern in the Windblast Plains. Dax's family expect him to pass his aerial hunter permit test at the International School of Dragon Training in his first year, just like they did. But how does a boy become a skilled dragon rider when he passes out whenever he's flying high on his dragon? Dax works hard to become a stronger flyer, but without much success. Will Dax finally learn to overcome his fears and pass his aerial hunting test? Or will he learn another way to put his natural skills to good use?
