Summary
Stavin Kel'Aniston is a man in a boy's body. But he is more
than he seems. Stavin climbs a mountain in search of treasure,
and encounters a dragon. He'd left home a spiteful boy, but
returns a confident man.
Now Dragon Blessed, Stavin is finally allowed to join the
yearly expedition as a caravan guard.
In the Kingdom of Evandia, Stavin is brought to the
attention of King Kalin and Princess Marina. They are keenly
interested in anything to do with dragons, and name Stavin a
Friend of Evandia.
Now called Friend Stavin, he heads out into Evandia guarding
a trade caravan and embraces his new status. But even the gift
of a dragon comes at a price.
Thieves, brigands, and ne'er-do-wells of every kind are
attracted to Stavin. As the summer passes, Stavin fights for
his life and the honor of his name, and in doing so fulfills
his destiny.
