Jaykriss is a typical teenager. He’s bored with school, the
girl he loves doesn’t even know he’s alive, and he and his
mother disagree—a lot. The village Jaykriss lives in lies
deep in a primevalforest. Life there is simple, and is
predicated upon day-to-day survival. As his father is gone,
Jaykriss must provide for his mother and sister. That is his
primary role in life--and he is good at it.
But Jaykriss is restless. He is curious and
inquisitive. And he wants desperately to avenge the death
of his father Glyndich--a warrior killed by a fearsome
dragon known only as the Thrax.
So how does a mere boy of fourteen who is simply trying
to keep his family alive kill a legendary beast thought to
be nearly invincible?
To kill the Thrax, one must first find it.
On a routine hunting trip, Jaykriss and his best friend
encounter the Thrax at last. The terrifying creature chases
them mercilessly through the darkening forest--and the boys
eventually stumble into the refuge of an eccentric hermit
whose home is filled with books from ancient times. The
hermit teaches Jaykriss that all is not as it seems in his
world. The mutants and dragons that populate their world are
actually relics of a long-ago biological disaster. The Dark
King, a ruler they revere as a god, is a vicious tyrant who
will do anything to stay in power. Jaykriss realizes that
there may be more to his life than he initially thought. He
might be able to someday vanquish the Thrax. He may, in
fact, be The One who Leads, prophesied to save the entire
human race. But is Jaykriss truly ready for his destiny--or
will that destiny consume him?
