Taking on new responsibilities and challenges at a prestigious academy for dragon slayers, Ruud must navigate this altered timeline while hiding secrets about his true origins. As he struggles to master combat skills and magical knowledge that don't come naturally to him, Ruud must prove himself worthy among elite peers who have trained their whole lives for this destiny. But the greatest challenge may be uncovering the truth about what really happened to his family and whether he can ever find his way back to the life he once knew.
