As the smallest dragon in the Hartstriker clan, Julius survives on a simple principle: do not make noise, do not cause problems and do not climb larger to the dragons. But such behavior is not tolerated in the family of ambitious magical predators, and his mother, Bethesda Hartstriker, can no longer tolerate. Now sealed in human form and banished to FDD - a metropolis built on the ruins of Old Detroit - Julius must prove in a month that he can be a merciless dragon, or he will say goodbye to his true appearance forever. But in a city of modern-day magicians and vengeful spirits, where dragons are considered monsters who are eliminated, he will need serious help to survive this scrutiny. He hopes humans can be trusted more than dragons...
