Lightning struck the trees, tearing them apart. "Listen close." His mother always said to him. "The storms speak in a language that is their own. Listen close, and you will understand." "How will I understand?" She smiled. "It's the language of your people." Mizu Hoshino is determined to never fade into the storm and become another thunderclap, determined to become more than that and more than just another ninja. He's going to be the storm, and the ninja world had better brace itself for when he is truly awake and in full gear.

Josh Davidson has seen it all-in video games and movies, of course, because they would never be anything but fiction.

The experience leads Josh to the truth: he's a Paladin, someone soul-bound to a dragon. Not only does he now have a dragon reaching into his thoughts, but the new status comes with magical powers meant to help him in his fight against the forces of darkness. Josh is more than eager to hone his new skills and help the Paladins in their fight, but the darkness they face is rising from its slumber, intent on destroying the Paladins and everything they stand for. Josh will have to learn fast, because the most important decisions are those he cannot escape.
