She is the mother of David, a ten-year-old boy who is taken by a Crimson Belly Dragon, and she is determined to get him back at any cost. To find and free him, she has only one choice: she must learn to talk with Dragons. The problem: their talk is nothing like human. As she and Mark struggle to uncover the mysteries of Dragon Talk, her son is becoming a legend, And worse. David and the Crimson become Dracos, and their partnering sets off a chain of events that nearly shatters the Dragon World, turning Dragon against Dragon, and bringing out old sores just at a time when the power of human science and technology is being used to threaten the very existence of the Dragons. As two Dragon kinds battle for control of the Dragon World, Mercy and Mark race to find David before chaos erupts, completely unaware that it is the madness of David and his Dragon that is turning the Dragon World on fire. For Mercy it is a desperate race to recover her son and assuage the guilt of her past. For Mark Adams it is his nightmare, and for everyone else, it is the edge of war.
