Ash's world is about to be turned upside down, and it has nothing to do with the giant snarling dragon he's about to face. Everything in his life is about to change with a chance encounter with Euan, a devilishly whimsical and wise young boy. Raised to be king, a prince with a warrior's heart, Ash begins a quest like those mentioned in the tales told to him as a boy that will reveal a much darker twist on his seemingly privileged life. His loyalty to friends, his family, and a new lover will be questioned as a foreign army has infiltrated his father's kingdom.
