But Nico isn't ready for the responsibility that comes with becoming a member of a team of legendary heroes and struggles with the idea that he, 'a nobody, nothing kid' may actually be the most powerful Dracomageis of all time. His immortal mentor Xin, the wizard Gilmane and the Star Dragon Adraxa have to work hard to make sure Nico completes his hero's journey in this coming-of-age novel.
As their immortal foe Cyax escapes from the glacier in which he has been buried for 1200 years, The Astraxi enter a race to find and secure the Five Weapons of Elemental Power, also known as The Pentoplae. Each weapon is immensely powerful, drawing its strength from one of the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth and Water.But if Cyax can capture and combine all Five, then his power will be limitless.
With four undead Lich-Kings, a ruthless Warrior Princess, a scheming Vampire and legions of Cyber-demons ranged against him, can Nico learn to harness his Dragon Lore in time to prevent Cyax unleashing a new era of Darkness and suffering upon the world?
