When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human child has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn't dare believe it. Humans have been absent from the world of Ethöes for centuries, cursed by an evil tyrant to live out the remainder of their lives in dragon form. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax wonders if this girl could be the long-awaited answer to an ancient prophecy, one that promises to put an end to the reign of the dreaded Crimson King once and for all. Hidden away in the province of Oescienne, Jahrra grows up blissfully unaware of who - or - she is. She's much too busy getting into mischief with her friends and outsmarting her vile classmates to worry about faraway tyrants or unanswered prophecies. Yet, the threat to Jahrra's world isn't as distant as she'd like to think, and her destiny may come calling long before she's ready - a destiny she alone was born to fulfill.
