Dark forces are trying to overthrow the Seven Kingdoms. Can Calderon, the orphaned Kusarku prince, master a powerful magical weapon-and learn to trust his own abilities-in time to save his race and others? After the devastating Grey War and the death of their beloved king and queen, the Kusarkus, descendants of minotaurs, reluctantly relinquished their independence and accepted the "generous protection" of the elves. Since then, Calderon, the only heir to the Kusarku throne, has had to hide his true identity. But when the Seven Kingdoms come under attack by unknown forces and the Kusarku are blamed, the young prince must journey to the human capital of Alezadria to defend his race and accept the responsibility of his birthright. If not the Kusarku, though, then who is leading the hordes of goblins, trolls, and other monsters against innocent citizens? And who can Calderon trust, even within his own kingdom? To aid in his struggle against evil, Calderon's adoptive father, Bard, presents him with one half of his father's powerful magical sword - The Dragon's Tooth. Working together with his friends, can Calderon master the legendary obsidian weapon and his own magical abilities in time to save the Seven Kingdoms?
