The knight Michael is called to defend a kingdom plagued by a wild dragon. He is bewildered by what he finds: the king is reluctant to be rid of the baneful beast, and the princess, a warrior maiden, trains knights to engage the dragon in a battle to their death. With whom can he align himself?

Donald Samson grew up in the mega-urban environment of Los Angeles at a time when the smog was thick and the freeways were flinging their tentacles throughout the city. After expanding his horizons through study at UC Santa Barbara, he sought fresh air and adventure. He set off for a dozen years of travel, living as an expat first in Greece, then for a long stretch in Germany, and finally landing in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland. Upon returning to the States, he learned the art of teaching children, and was a Waldorf class teacher for nineteen years. It was during this time that he developed his love for storytelling. His first books owe their origin to stories he told to one of his classes. It was his students' persistent requests (badgering, really) to read the stories he had told that led him to write them down. He currently lives in western Colorado working as the educational director of a public charter Waldorf school.
The curse of the wild dragon, Scorch, lies heavy upon the land of Gladur Nock. Scorch holds the kingdom hostage to his ravenous and bloody demands. The Knight Michael hears of the dragon s bane and realizes that the Luck Dragon Star had trained him for this moment. Full of foreboding he rides to their aid. However, before the knight can reach Gladur Nock he is ambushed and imprisoned in the dungeons of the very king he wanted to help. He becomes part of a forced training of arms. The best warriors among them are sent to fight the dragon. Oddly, King Worrah is in no hurry to free the land from the dragon s curse. The actions of the princess Aina are even more bewildering. She is a fierce warrior-maiden who oversees the men who will go to die in single combat with the dreaded dragon. With whom can Michael align himself? The only way out of prison is to step forward as the next victim to go face Scorch.
