Dinosaur Academy

He came to find a killer. He found a war instead.

Jaxen Rove is a maintenance worker at an elite academy for female dinosaur riders, secretly hunting the nobleman who murdered his family. When he bonds an unidentified aquatic dinosaur without using any magic-something no man has ever done-he earns a seat among women who see him as a threat. But his dinosaur grows faster than normal, and it's proving to be more powerful than anything else at the school... even if it is functionally useless on land.

With help from a beautiful scientist, he gets his dinosaur up and moving-just in time for a nomadic army to assault the kingdom's borders. After the senior class mysteriously vanishes in the field, political forces begin scheming to take control of the school. Aided by several gorgeous students who used to hate him and a bevy of dinosaurs who now defer to him, Jaxen must master abilities he didn't know he had and unravel a conspiracy that reaches the throne itself-before the next attack wipes the academy off the map.

Everyone in this kingdom has secrets... but Jaxen's are the most dangerous of them all.
