Two men, one princess and a world filled with Dragons. Grendle Haus, a lowly boy from the streets of Dolan, seeks change to his monotonous life. One day, his eyes meet those of the reclusive Princess of Dolan, Reina Macabre. Entranced by her beauty and ensnared by her mysterious aura, Grendle will stop at nothing to meet her, even if that means risking his life and sneaking into Castle Fang. With his sights set entirely on the princess, Grendle may just get his chance to meet her, but at what cost? Gaven Gabrielle has been called many names, but rarely by his own. Poor since he was a child, Gaven has had to adapt to every situation in order to survive. After nearly meeting his end at the gallows, he is given an opportunity, one that could change his status forever. If Gaven is able to win a joust at the annual tournament in Dolan, he will be granted stature higher than that of Dolan's most revered lord. For a boy who has never jousted before the task is seemingly impossible, but Gaven Gabrielle is determined to become a champion. But all is not as it seems. With the tournament looming, a sinister plot unfolds right beneath their feet. Agents of the Black Dragon descend on Dolan to collect the soul of Princess Macabre as payment for her father's past transgressions. Now, with the city in ruins and lives hanging in the balance, Gaven and Grendle must overcome insurmountable odds in order to rescue the princess and save the city from certain annihilation. Friendships, loyalty and the strongest of bonds will be tested as battle lines are drawn and old allies become new enemies. In A Quest of Dragons, nothing is certain and no one is safe.
