In this vivid new fantasy, author Abby Buhaug presents a world full of dragons, vampires, and other fantastic creatures.

When young Noble is sent to train with the dragon Kai, he doesn't realize that this first portentous meeting will change both their lives forever.

In the age before history, magic exists throughout the globe. Noble, a young human, is living with the elves when he is sent to see Kai. Noble immediately falls for his intelligent and fierce new mentor. The two grow closer, but Noble keeps his love to himself.

Then, Noble is attacked by a vampire, and he loses his humanity. Like Kai, he now has incredible longevity and magical abilities. Noble no longer has a human family to return to, but Kai spurns him when he finally reveals the depths of his feelings.

With their extraordinarily long lives, both Kai and Noble live to see the centuries change and magic relegated to myth and legend. In the modern world, the two meet once again and help a troubled young man with secrets of his own. Will the two be able to overcome the history between them? Will they finally come to understand each other's heart?
