Maelich has trained as a warrior under the strict tutelage of Ymitoth since he was old enough to lift a sword. This training is all he has known his entire life. At the end of his twelfth summer, everything changes. Attacked by nightmare creatures from the darkest places of man’s imagination, Maelich is left abandoned and confused.
With no one left to guide him, the young warrior embarks alone on his journey to find truth. Along the way, he learns of a prophecy in which he is the savior who slays the last dragon and frees Ouloos from the terror that great power represents. Not all he encounters believe in the prophecy. There are those who would see him ride the dragon against the god he has worshipped his entire life. Blasphemy.
Before reaching the goal of his quest, the terrifying dragon who wields the greatest power on Ouloos, he will come to question everything he has ever believed. What is truth? He must find the answer to that question in his own heart and decide which path is his.
