Hellfire is the leader of a rather notorious gang of dragons and is known to have plans for taking the throne of the Dragonlands. However, just as his plans are starting to bear fruit, his life is interrupted by an annoying scholar by the name of Shining Scales, who was given permission by the queen to live within the Dragonlands and study their kind. However, not everything is as it seems with the scholar, and Hellfire is sure that the queen sent the bumbling idiot to undermine his plans.

Will Hellfire's coup go as he wants? is Shining Scales really what he claims to be?
