In a place that was not quite the mountains and not quite the sea... an amazing thing happened. It was such an extraordinary thing that for hundreds of years, up until this very day, people have told and retold the story over and over again. The surprising thing, however, is that half of them have only told one part of the story and the other half have only told the rest.

As civilization plunges into panic, Knight, Lu, Knight's seventeen-year-old techie intern George Rainert, and an untrustworthy dragon ally must use all their resources - magical and otherwise - to stop the destruction before it's too late.
