The dragon fire that swallowed his mother, his father, and the rest of his race still burns in the back of Cardale's mind when he closes them at night. He may be twenty years older than that fateful day the dragon came and wiped his village out, but he remembered every detail, haunting his every steps. When he was just six years old, the Elven man had witnessed the destruction of his kind, and vowed on his mother's death that he would seek revenge for the Elves. Theodas Aribet is the son of the famous Captain of the Guard, the man who guards the very king. Standards set on him at birth have ruled his every day since he could remember. He hasn't had a true friend in years, always only having people who wanted to take advantage of his status as his father's son. When Cordale and Theodas develope a friendship, they can't help but feel for each other. While Cordale has had to live a lie, hide who he truly is, Theodas has had to pretend to be a good son while all he wants to do is travel and see the world. But as things begin to get serious between the two, Cordale's revenge grows closer, and the time for Theodas to prove himself to his father and his king nears. Can the two still remain together when Cordale wishes to rid the world of the king while Theodas must protect him? Or will the fire burn the night and all those who are caught in it?
