Legend tell us the Irish saint Brendan the Navigator was the first European to discover North America. We now learn he had a motive for doing so, to bring an unhatched egg to the farthest reaches of the earth where it would never be discovered – but it is discovered, and something terrible is born. In a small town in New England, a young woman named Raeven is forced through chance and prophecy to take on the role of dragon-slayer once reserved for the medieval knights of old. In doing so, she must first attempt to slay the internal dragons of fear and self-doubt that have so far kept her from becoming the person she was meant to be.
