Synopsis

He sought to leave behind a life of pain and misery, but to do so, he had to face the one thing he dreaded most-a confrontation with the dragon that sought to destroy his young life. Christopher must set out on a quest where the very gates of hell are unleashed to stop him. The dragons fear that if he succeeds, their dominion will end.

The world has lost its faith in the Great Planner (God), and needs the star character, Christopher, to find the lost secrets of the armor in order to defeat the mighty dragons who have enslaved the land with dragon worship and the abuse of the dragon gifts of sparkle and ambrosia. Christopher must overcome his own past failures while at the same time hurdle the many obstacles that are thrown at him from the dragons in order to prevent the successful completion of his quest.
