For over a decade, the medieval village of Pallas has been petrified by a dragon living in the forest just beyond the tree line. Countless knights have been sent into the forest to rid the village of its frightening neighbor, but none have ever returned. Seventeen-year-old Aten the Knight has been dreading his appointment to be the next knight to attempt to slay the dragon. But when finally faced with the task, he finds that it's nothing like he imagined and is the first to return from its lair alive. The more Aten learns, the more he finds that the line between enemy and ally is more obscure than it seems.
