There’s never been a female gryphon rider. Until me.

I just wanted to ease the suffering of Arimus, a gryphon blinded in combat. He’d lost his first rider, and his will to live. But when he forges a new psychic link with me to be his replacement rider, it brands me as “an affront to the gods” for daring to ride an avatar of the god of man.

We’re also at war, and need every able-bodied fighter we can find, so I’m sent to the highly competitive Gryphon Rider Academy to train with the nation’s finest young men. Some love seeing a girl in uniform, but most hate me for standing out. Few of the boys here want to see me succeed.

The king makes it very clear. If I fail this year at the Academy, he will mercilessly order Arimus’s execution, rather than suffer a female gryphon rider any longer.

I have to be the best to even have a chance here. They want courage, loyalty, discipline, and integrity? I’ll give them all that and more, for Arimus’s sake.

Dragon Riders of Pern meets Song of the Lioness in this YA fantasy series in which a pair of underdogs rewrite what’s possible in a formerly all-boys military academy. If you like determined heroines, iron-clad friendships, and majestic creatures, then you’ll love Gryphon Rider Academy!

Really good story! well written and kept myself (33f) and my 9 year old daughter glued to it!

So much better than expected!

A different take on overcoming the odds, mistakes made, lessons learned rather than flying through challenges with ease. Looking forward to Book 2!

Young adult fantasy has always been my favorite genre, and it has been a VERY LONG time since I have been this excited about a new series. I bought the first few books back to back on Kindle and had to wait impatiently for the fourth to be completed. It didn't disappoint. Each book brings back characters I have come to love, presents them with new challenges, and expands on the world the author has created.

The narrator does a great job of not only bringing the heroine to life but also giving a distinct voice to each of the supporting characters. I was excited to experience the audiobooks even though I had already read all the books. It is well worth a reread and the narration elevated the story. If you enjoy this genre at all (the only bad review I saw was from someone who showed contempt for anything written for a young adult audience) I can't imagine you not enjoying this series.

Love this series!

I loved this story. The characters are well written, the plot line is interesting and different than most YA books out there currently, and the story telling was phenomenal. I can’t wait for the 3rd book to be released. This was one of those books I had constantly playing because I couldn’t put it down. Excited to see what else Elise has.

LOVED IT

This was a good listen especially so as Book 1 of a series. The narration was also very well done. The MC was a young girl who took care of griffons & the griffon that was presently under her care was scheduled to die. The griffon was seriously injured in battle losing both of his eyes but he grieved over his rider & feeling he was a failure, wanted to die. Sivana his caretaker was determined to save him & so this is the beginning of their adventures together.
