About the book: 2019 / Carapace is not one of those heroes that legends glorify. If he had been brave, he would have saved Pyrrhia with the help of his dracomancer abilities, and would not have hidden them even from his own sister. But now that Gloomstealer, the most insidious and ancient dragon, has returned, Carapax finds the only sure way out for himself - to hide and lie low. However, other dragons from the Jasper Mountain Academy believe that Gloomstealer is not so bad. He manages to charm everyone, even Carapace's distrustful friends, who seem to be sincerely convinced that Gloomstealer has changed. But Carapax is full of doubts, and the longer he watches Gloomstealer, the clearer it becomes: the powerful dragon must be stopped, and it must be done by a true hero. But where can you find one when time is running out? And since a daredevil cannot be found, it means that Carapace himself must become one and try to save everyone from the ancient evil.
