Seventeen-year-old Eric is the apprentice of the most respected knight in Fallhollow. And he could achieve more if Throgsdill allowed him to do something important. Determined to prove his worth, Eric sets off to look for a mysterious paladin charged with protecting the kingdom from evil. Sixteen-year-old David spends his days roughly going to school, winning archery competitions, and trying not to fall in love with his best friend Charlotte. He is ready to reveal his feelings, but he is taken to a magical kingdom, where everyone thinks that he is some kind of paladin who is destined to fulfill a two-hundred-year-old prophecy. He must help kill the dragon using some kind of magic key. And this key is on the neck of an annoying knight apprentice who wants to show off too much, but does not try to help others. Selfish Eric and David must step over themselves in this matter, otherwise they will see how everything they knew and loved perished, burning.
