Slow overview:

Two decades after his father's dragon Purge, Nico is finally about to be crowned Heir. But with his inheritance suddenly at risk, he finds himself forced to do something he swore he would never do-slay a dragon. Which is going to be a little difficult, seeing as he's been captured by one instead.

Two decades after the Purge that killed his entire family, Verrio is finally about to get his vengeance. But when the dragons' plan to take back the kingdom fails, he must do whatever he can to secure them a victory, even if it is the one thing he swore he would never do again-trust a human. Which is going to be a little difficult, seeing as that human is the son of the man who took everything from him.
