Jakkin is a bond servant in a dragon nursery and dreams of having
his own dragon.  One night he secretly steals a unaccounted for
egg and raises his dragon as a fighter in the games.  To buy
himself out of bondage, his dragon has to win his first fight.  While
he is raising and training his dragon in secret Jakkin befriends a
mysterious local girl and angers a higher up the the dragon
nursery.  This 292 page book is a great adventure with a mystery
wrapped inside.  There are many kids (include me) who love dragon
stories.  I can't wait to read the following two.  Although part of a
series, this book is a complete story.
