Something is not quite right with the Rider of Legend. Something is terribly wrong. Yet when Akira refuses to admit this she faces the danger of becoming her own worst enemy and losing everything she ever worked for. This time, the stakes are higher than ever before. This time it's not just a battle to save the Lands but a battle that will decide the Rider of Legend's ultimate fate. A fate, that no one may have seen coming or even dreamed possible. It all comes down to this.

500 years in the future, out of the ashes of her ancestor, a new black dragon has risen. Once again the Rider of Legend is called on upon to help and defeat this evil. Yet when her enemy comes up with the ultimate weapon she finds that even she, may not be able to stop what is about to happen. This time, riders from both the past and the future must unite and join the Rider of Legend in a battle more intense than ever before. Yet what none of them have foreseen is that things have been set into motion, things that will change everything. Nothing will ever be the same again. The beginning of the end starts here.

A new challenge appears, a new battle begins. Once again the Rider of Legend must fight to save the lands, only this time she finds herself five hundred years in the future.

Facing the most powerful man in the Lands armed with nothing but a sword and the hope that she could prevail, was not the direction Akira saw her life going in. After witnessing her family's death she had stayed away from it all, living in hiding. Yet when she discovers that her dragon is a Dragon of Legend and together they are to challenge Haiden, the ruler of the dark Lands, her life plummets into chaos. Taken in by the Academy, where young dragon riders are trained to fight, she must rise up and prove herself worthy of the name of the 'Rider of Legend'. Yet as Akira finds out, fighting for an almost hopeless cause when no one believes in you, is not easy. With all odds stacked against them, Akira and her dragon must fight for their own lives as well as try to fulfill all expectations and free the Lands from a tyrant's rule once and for all.
