When five strangers on their own quest appear at the farm where Ivory and her Uncle live, events are set in motion which none of them expected. Lothilia is a country plagued with civil war and rife with dangerous creatures and beings of all races. Only one creature no longer resides there; dragons. Centuries have passed since the last dragon was last seen in their lands and without a born rider they are virtually untameble. Ivory finds herself leaving her home and travelling North on the trail of something long forgotten. Without even realising the future of Lothilia has fallen on her shoulders.
