Yashamaru, a young boy of the Yamata dragon clan, has lost everything a person could lose: his home, his family, and his sense of identity. Rescued from the brink of death by a kindly priestess, he must now face growing up alone in a remote village where no one seems to understand him. But fate may have other plans for Yashamaru and those closest to him. Can he rise to the challenge, or will he be consumed into the world of war and hatred?
