Alforia Steel, Sirin Zex, and Rono the dragon live in a world where death is nothing special, and where the lines between right and wrong are so blurred that no one can tell whether the death of a sentient being is a good or bad thing. In this world, it is a conundrum whether the deaths of millions are worth the lives of hundreds. In this world, dragons were created to serve and obey, and when they grow old, fight to the death. Is someone going to stand up to this injustice, or is it just something too big for a few people to stop?
