Luke has heard dragons all his life and when a dragon summoned him to raise her dragonlings, he ran away to help her. But the world he enters is fraught with danger and his access is limited. He raises his dragonlings and knows little of the outside world or his role in it. As the dragons begin dying off and dragon tamers like him become scarce, a rival tribe kidnaps him and everything he knows is thrown into question.

As Luke adapts to his new world, he encounters new threats and enemies who seek to control him at all costs. His entire existence comes into question and only his love for his dragonlings keeps him fighting for his life and his freedom. But his strength has its limited, his enemies are increasing, and his troubled past is threatening to overtake the present. Will he survive, and who can he trust to help him?
