Working together to devise a vehicle in which they can travel across a menacing continent, an elven engineer and a human magic user invent an Iron Dragon and set out on a harrowing adventure. But will the Iron Dragon make it through the mountain full of trolls? Humans can no longer rely on sailing ships to get their goods to market, the sea dragons have become too menacing. The only option is the land route, across a virgin continent that no one has traversed, and survived.
