But when he finally meets Vesta, he discovers the dragon is nothing like he imagined. Thrown off and in shock, Aten fails to kill it.

Seventeen-year-old Aten the Knight has been waiting his entire life to slay Vesta the Dragon, a monster who has been terrorizing his village for years. But when he finally meets Vesta, he discovers the dragon is nothing like he imagined. Thrown off and in shock, Aten fails to kill it. After this encounter, he faces a new struggle: Can he keep the vow to his village and slay the so-called "dragon" that has been hurting the people of his hometown, or refuse and take the consequences of his revenge-hungry village? 

Aten the Knight has returned to his village, Pallas, after a successful quest. But in the midst of his peoples' praise, Aten hears a large shrill far off in the forest. Another dragon realizing Aten's actions and seeking revenge. Aten warns the people of Pallas, but some are reluctant to believe in a new threat so soon. Aten and his fellow knights are left to come up with a desperate plan to escape the dragon's wrath. With his battle wounds still fresh, can Aten successfully survive and discover a way to defeat something more powerful than Vesta?

Aten the Knight and his comrades are exhausted, yet determined. Pallas has burned down, many loved ones have passed, and they still don’t have enough information to defeat Apophis the Dragon. But they do know where to find it—in The Dragon War, a book said to be in the catacombs of Torn’s capital. While Vesta haunts Aten’s dreams and Apophis puts a bounty on Aten’s head, the travelers take on a treacherous journey to find answers. Will they get the information they need to defeat Apophis? How will they escape the bounty hunters desperate to turn Aten in?
