Hunted

Twins Tren and Tif don't believe in dragons. Which is unfortunate because they're hereditary dragonfighters.

All their lives since they were old enough to understand, Tifan and his sister Tirulen have been trained by their father, honing their bodies and their minds, learning to fight hand-to-hand, with weapons and with magic, all to prepare them to face the dragonriders and their huge, fire-breathing beasts.

Except that there are no dragons. No dragon has been seen for two hundred years, since the dragonriders were defeated and all the dragons were killed. As if the weight of all that family history and expectation aren't enough, they're doing it for nothing. Their crazy father is forcing them to train to meet a foe that no longer exists.

Tren rebels and heads for the town where she hopes to build a normal life away from all the craziness. But when both she and her brother are attacked by some fairly serious-looking people and they return home to find their entire village burned to the ground, they realise they were wrong.

The dragons do still exist, and they and the dragonrider folk are on the move again, and apparently, after them. Along with the father that they now realise isn't crazy after all, the twins must try to make it to the dragonfighter stronghold, the only place they will be safe, pursued all the way by a group of ruthless dragonrider assassins and hunted from the air by dragons.

Although a story in its own right, "Hunted" is also the first part of a classic, epic fantasy trilogy.
