A boy is orphaned as three powerful mages take over his parents’ castle.  His aunt and uncle raise him as their own on a farm near hills with woods.  A powerful mage and Druid Priest is his great-grandfather.  He tells them the baby will someday be a powerful mage, too.  To prepare for this, Garig needs to learn farming, the woods and its animals, a soldier’s skills with weapons, and schooling to be prepared for a destiny of a feud already waiting for him.

Garig learns about the family’s dragon, but why won’t it protect him from a school bully?  And he has magic!  Little does he know he is being trained for his own future, where he will become heir to and uphold the responsibilities of carrying on the feud of many generations -- or try to stop it.
