This story was not written by a hero, but by one who knows them well. It is a love story, an adventure story, a memoir, and a mystery--but most importantly, it is a magic story, which is the most wonderful kind. It comes from a world where children are born with wings, where priests can write spells in fire, and where deep caverns hide ancient secrets. Before Nero Stone-lived was a legend he was an emperor, and The Dragon's Book tells of the places, things, and people who made him the hero he was never meant to become.
