Firedrake, a young dragon, receives a frightening warning one night: Humans are planning to destroy the valley in which he lives! All the dragons must flee. Their only refuge is a place above the clouds called the Rim of Heaven—which may not even exist. Firedrake boldly volunteers to go ahead first. As he embarks on his journey, he meets Ben, a runaway boy. Together, the boy and dragon make their way toward the Rim of Heaven, all the while running a step ahead of Nettlebrand, a monster who will stop at nothing to hunt down Firedrake. Their quest will truly become an adventure like no other
.
During his journey, Firedrake is joined by a feisty brownie, a homunculus (who initially spied for Nettlebrand). The elves, dwarfs and a thousand-eyed djinni and a kindly professor of archaeology and his friends also aid the travelers in piecing together clues..

While readers may have trouble keeping track of the entire plot’s strands as they soar through this story, they will no doubt find themselves drawn in by the lively characters and their often-hilarious banter, as well as the nonstop obstacles they encounter before the inevitable face-off with Nettlebrand.
