In a world once filled with both good and evil dragons, all dragons were hunted down and killed.
But a small group of Guardians live in the wasteland, clinging to the promise of a golden dragon and the rider it will choose to save humanity. When tragedy strikes, young Emilia flees the Order, which rules with an iron fist, and is rescued by Oliver, a young Guardian.
Neither can possibly know the wild and dangerous adventure that lays before them when a golden dragon, Darrian, hatches and chooses its rider. The Order, led by a wicked priestess and her armies, will stop at nothing to find and destroy them.
So begins a thrilling and deeply redemptive story of love and wonder.
