Someone is out to assassinate young eighteen year old Zoran. After the third attempt, he flees his father's Castle Dorumova. His father, Baron Kazimir, is the evil Baron, a despot intent on conquering all of the planet called Adapazan. Hiding his surname, Zoran becomes an apprentice to the Archmage Oldrich. On another planet where dragons make their home, starvation has become a serious problem, due to over population. Thus, dragons are seeking a new home, a new planet where there is an abundance of food. Besides learning to be a mage, Zoran is also a duska by birth, one who can Shadow Walk between any of the planets in the Federation of Planets. Only a duska can become a baron and thus rule a planet. Each planet has its own Circle of Ascension which gives the barons' their power. Do dragons and humans mix? Can Zoran stop his evil father from conquering all of the world? Dragons come to his aid. But why? Follow the exploits and adventures of Zoran and the dragons.
