Sometimes the greatest evil lies within. When Prince Gerin, King Quentin's son, is kidnapped, the kingdom is thrown into chaos and Quentin is forced to search inward for faith and hope. But is faith enough? At the dawn of a new era, where religious unrest is rampant and uncertainty of the kingdom’s future threatens everyone, it takes courage to stand.

From an orphaned servant to a war hero, respected leader, and a fierce man of faith, Quentin has slowly transformed into The Dragon King. But even the powerful can fall prey to weakness.?

The world is turned upside-down when the dark sorcerer Nimrood--long thought dead after a battle with the previous Dragon King--returns with a fearsome plan.? Shattered by the death of a dear and trusted friend, the abduction of his beloved son, and the loss of his enchanted sword, Quentin finds his faith tested like never before.

At the dawn of a new era, where faith clashes and old evils rear their heads, Quentin and his friends must lead the way despite their own flaws and uncertainty. With the fate of the world hanging on by a thread, their decisions slice through religious unrest and restore hope in what is to come.
