In a world where dragons once soared alongside their bonded riders, the balance between magic and humanity shattered the day a group of college students accidentally opened a portal to the ninth level of Hell. What followed was a brutal war-known as the Summer of Blood-where the armies of the world, led by 47 dragon riders, gave their lives to seal the gateway and stop Lucifer himself. Only one rider survived the battle: my grandfather. And so, as the last living dragon rider chosen by a newly hatched dragon at the age of twelve, I became humanity's final hope, raised in a crumbling castle above Washington, D.C., trained by warriors, and burdened with a legacy that nearly broke the world.
This is the untold truth-not the whitewashed version found in history books or the half-baked theories littering the internet. It is the story of how I came of age amidst war, death, and mythic expectation. From slaying lycanthropes in Alaska at fifteen to unraveling a necromancer's plot at nineteen, I thought I was ready to face anything. But power without restraint is a dangerous thing. This is a chronicle of victories and mistakes, of burned towns and unlikely alliances, of a boy trying to become a man in the shadow of legends.
