Tailwind




Dragons meets F1 in this full-throttle tale of dragon racing, full of fiery heat and breakneck speeds.

There has never been a female dragon rider in the Volitant Dragon Races. Until now.

Once, Lena’s flying talent promised a future for women in this sport. But after a betrayal ended her racing career, Lena now works as a dragon keeper for the washed-up racing tyrant Thorne. Cherishing the close bond she has forged with Gottyk, Thorne’s racing dragon, Lena still yearns to race.

But when an accident takes Thorne out of action minutes from a race beginning, Lena sees an opportunity.

Put on Thorne's racing helmet, and take his place in Volitant.

A chance for her, and women riders everywhere, to seize their victory from the skies...
