A dragonkeeper of Paladin, Kale is summoned from the Hall to The Bogs by
the Wizard Fenworth to serve as his apprentice and tend his newly
hatched meech dragon, Regidor. But Kale isn't going alone. The Hall is
sending a student to monitor her performance and report back to the
scholars. Worst of all, it's Bardon - an older boy Kale finds
irritating, but who at least can hold his own in a sword fight.
Meanwhile, the Wizard Risto has seized another meech dragon, bringing
him dangerously close to gaining the power he seeks. So with only a
motley band of companions, Kale sets out on a desperate quest to rescue
the second meech, to free those dragons already enslaved, and to thwart
Risto's devious plans. It's up to Kale to lead the search and to embrace
the role that's rightfully hers. But will her efforts be enough to save
the land of Amara from the dark future that awaits at Risto's hands?
