The year is 1888. It is a world where dragons still exist. While being hunted to extinction in Europe and Africa throughout the Dark Ages, they flourished in the jungles of Southern America. They are the gods of the mighty Maya and Inca Kingdoms. Kingdoms that had never been conquered by European invaders, which are still prevailing: as powerful and mighty as on the day when Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. They are also just as wealthy. It is a wealth that often drives the cowboys and treasure hunters of the American settlements down south in search of fame and fortune. And more often than not, it is there that they learn that the fire of a dragon burns hotter than gold fever ever could . . .
