After his mother is murdered by the Royal Guard, Gek flees into the forest where he meets his ancient, moss-covered, grandfather, Ard. Ard reluctantly agrees to teach Gek the skills he needs to survive: how to find prey, how to perform magic spells, how to fly, and most importantly, how to breathe fire. Without Ard’s help, Gek, the young Great Dragon, will surely perish in the wild. Gek’s only hope is to learn quickly, and then find his Sea Dragon father, who Gek has never met.
Donovan doesn’t know Gek, but he wants him dead. Donovan’s father, the Battle Mage, Edward, was just killed by a dragon (Gek’s mother), and Donovan is hot for vengeance. In order to hunt and kill a dragon, Donovan realizes that he needs to learn magic; something he told himself he would never do. Now he will have to find the Wizards Academy, and apply for admission.
The King believes that dragons are mythical, and nobody knows they can speak, or do magic. The dragons are few in number, and not innately hostile, but they are determined to fight for their right to exist. The humans are in for a nasty surprise
