Like many high school students, sixteen-year-old Ian Campbell doesn't fit in, but Ian isn't your normal teenager. The only people Ian can confide in are his parents-who he looks nothing like-and his best friend-who watches over Ian like a hawk. Everything changes with the dream. He begins to find himself in a strange land every night, with the dream ending at a tower circled by seven dragons of various colors. One night, the white dragon addresses Ian as Prince Erus and reveals his destiny. Thousands of years ago, the golden dragon Primus appeared bringing peace, and the black dragon Acerbus appeared bringing conquest-both mysteriously wielding the abilities of all seven races. Acerbus was sealed away outside of time, and Primus became king with his descendants ruling throughout history. When the black dragon escaped his prison and killed Ian's parents-the last king and queen-Ian was sent to Earth for protection. Ian must accept the truth, abandon his human life and parents, and become the prince the dragons need him to be. Throughout his journey to master the seven abilities, Ian will find acceptance, friends, family, and love. However, all the while Ian worries how he can defeat Acerbus when neither Primus nor his father could.
