* EndOfAnAge: It's a constant theme in the novel, with the elves almost gone, the Bisus kingdom moving on from its war-torn era and Dragon Raja being a distant memory. The novel ends with Dragon Raja being no more, humans cutting ties with dragons, and Amurtaht, one of the main antagonitsts, leaves behind the main continent and flies to parts unknown, never to return.

The story of ''Dragon Raja'' begins in the lands of Heltant, a western rural area of the kingdom of Bisus where tensions are high due to recent threats from the black dragon named Amurtaht. When armies are dispatched to subjugate her, only for her to quickly overwhelm them and take their leaders as hostages -- including the titular Dragon Raja, a supposed medium between dragons and the other races -- Amurtaht makes an offer to the Heltant people: give her a handsome amount of money, or the hostages are all dead. Without any finance to pay such ransom, Heltant forms a small group of adventurers to contact the royal household at the kingdom's capital and discuss the matter. What follows is a SerialEscalation of epic adventures that would change the fate of the world and reveal the true nature of "Dragon Raja". The story is told as FirstPersonPerspective from Hutch Nedval, a 17-year-old human who joins the fellowship in hopes of avenging his mother's death at Amurtaht's hands.
