In Ancient Cappadocia, a young boy named George is orphaned by a deadly dragon attack. His only companion, his faithful horse Michael, drags him to safety as his family is lost in all-consuming dragon fire. Lost and too young to fend for himself, George is taken in by a group of Roman Legionaries. Learning the ways of the war, George grows into a young man, but never forgets the fires that consumed his world, and the relentless faith of his people—almost lost in the fire, but still burning in his heart.

With the help of a mysterious elder from his past, a messenger boy named Demetrius, a scrappy team of resistance fighters, and the mystical spear, Ascalon, George takes on the greatest challenge of his life… confronting the same fire that consumed his family, joining forces with the Princess Aia and liberating the captive city of Silene from the oppression of the tyrant lizard, Kakos.
