World wars raged for a long time, using weapons of great might against fellow humans. The world appeared on the verge of destruction until a bomb uncovered a deep cave, unleashing ancient beasts. These beasts, also known as dragons, wiped out many countries and landmasses in their anger. It wasn't until certain people who could control the dragons managed to put a stop to that war. Humans collectively decided to destroy their advanced technology and weapons, reverting back to the days of stone and metal in an attempt to heal the world. After a long time, dragons and humans became part of daily life; only the chosen few could tame and ride these beasts, but that didn't stop the power-hungry people from starting more wars. This book follows the journey of Esmond, who so desperately wants to bond with a dragon like the rest of his family. After many failed attempts throughout his life, he takes more risks to finally call a dragon his own.
