Sixteen-year-old Fraser Campbell knows what it's like to face bullies-high school has made sure of that. But standing up to a few teenagers is nothing compared to facing a dark wizard.
When Nightwind, a grouchy old dragon, whisks Fraser away to the magical realm of Terranaught, he's thrust into a world he never knew existed and a destiny he never asked for: defeat the powerful wizard Lord Borath. The problem? No one, least of all Fraser, believes he can do it, except Nightwind.
To have any chance at all, Fraser must push past his fear and self-doubt to master the ways of both Guardian and Druid in only a few short months-not the years it usually takes to learn. But even if he manages that, how can a kid who's never believed in himself and a dragon a hundred years past his prime stand against the greatest evil Terranaught has ever known?
