Dragons of Kaitstud

A dragon-sized secret. A life-changing test. On the continent of Kaitstud, dragons are feared and thought extinct. The four clans who now rule the continent condemn and slaughter any hints of dragons. In her sixteenth summer Birgith must face her manifestation test with all the others of her age. The test will prove her ability and solidify her place with the Bear Clan that has raised her. There's just one problem. Birgith might shift into a bear... But she could also end up a dragon.
