Young boy Arlian lives with his family in a small mountain village. One day the weather becomes unusually warm and cloudy - Arlian's grandfather calls it "the dragon weather", because in the old times dragons tended to fly on just such a weather. Sure enough, three dragons attack the village and burn everything and everyone - except for Arlian, who hides in a well. Some time later a small party of armed men, led by someone called "Lord Dragon", enter the village. Arlian hopes that they can help him get to civilization - but immediately, to his horror, he understands that the men are just here to loot the dead. They capture Arlian and sell him into slavery. And so it begins...
The first book starts basically as the plot of ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' [[RecycledInSpace WITH DRAGONS]], as Arlian gets his freedom and begins his quest for revenge: on looters, on some evil lords, on Lord Dragon, and eventually - if he survives - on the dragons themselves.
