Ben was just a normal person, minding his own business, when suddenly he gets sent through a magical portal that teleports him to a land of dragons, and human-dragon hybrids. He immediately is helped by a dragon with pitch black scales and spikes all on his back. This dragon helps Ben, getting him to a safe place considering he fell from the sky, and takes care of him until he awakens. Ben is shocked to find human-dragon hybrids, practically standing at the foot of his bed. And they explain to him what this world is, and what happened.
The sky, pitch black, just like the dragon that helped him. Ben was worried, since they told him he was saved by a legendary and extremely rare dragon. This black dragon was known as Bloodwing, the Dark Dragon King, and he is really stubborn on who he imprints on. Since Ben was saved, he noticed a black mark on his arm, in the shape of a dragon's claw marks. He wonders if this was Bloodwing's doing.
At the beginning of this world, there were only the gods. They kept arguing and debating until the High God of Death decided. They are to make a world for The High Gods to rule, and with creatures that only exist in myths, and the race of the humans. And some believe that Bloodwing is a descendant of the great creation of the High God of Death, the greatest dragon that ever lived. And so he wanders, not knowing what to do since his element is extinct, and he is the last of it.
And when Ben stumbles upon some strange ruins, he was ambushed by the Kindom of Dragons, and he is sent to the Dragon Queen, one who rules all of this land. Ben is held prisoner, and soon learns of the abilities given to him from Bloodwing.
Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four.

Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath. Though he has no love of bloodshed and no use for a dagger, Landon isn't about to let Ray take his only link to his forgotten history, even if that means following the cambion past the edge of the world and into the shadow beyond.
