Drake Rathburn has spent most of his life running.

At twelve years old, he was sent to the Dragonfly Academy, a place his parents believed would straighten out their rebellious son. Instead, it became a nightmare that stole his childhood and left scars no one could see. When he finally escaped, he swore he would never let anyone control his life again.

For years he wandered the open road with nothing but his motorcycle, surviving one lonely mile at a time. Along the way he crossed paths with old ghosts, unexpected allies, dangerous enemies, and people who would forever change the course of his life. Every time he thought he had found a place to belong, fate ripped it away.

Everything changes when an innocent little girl named Ally is taken into the same darkness Drake barely survived.

Unable to stand by while another child suffers, Drake sets out on an impossible mission to bring her home and expose the twisted institutions that have hidden behind lies for decades. But standing in his way are ruthless motorcycle clubs, powerful enemies, and the terrifying realization that some people will do anything to protect the secrets buried within the academy walls.

As friendships are forged, loyalties are tested, and sacrifices become inevitable, Drake must decide how much he is willing to lose to save children he has never met.

Sometimes the hardest journey is not escaping your past.

It is finding the courage to ride back toward it.

NOTE: Drake appears briefly in Roche Pride Book 3: Blood & Betrayal, but there is a lot more of his story to tell. He is also connected to the Butterflies & Dragons Academy Series, but he doesn't appear until book 3 which is still a work in progress.
