Prince Peter dreams of being a real prince, but he's never had the chance to prove himself. He's surrounded by people who tell him what a real prince should be: brave, courageous, strong, and able to slay dragons. One day, he overhears his father's knights discussing a plan to slay the fiercest dragon in the land. Peter decides to enter the dangerous Dragon Forest to slay the dragon and prove he's a real prince. Once inside the Dragon Forest, Peter discovers that things aren't what he thought they'd be. The Dragon isn't the terrifying creature he'd been warned about, and the forest contains mysteries he never knew existed. But entering the forest unleashes a powerful darkness upon his world that only he and the Dragon can destroy. Now it's up to Peter to save the forest, his father's kingdom, and himself from the dangers of the darkness. Peter and the Dragon must work to restore the balance and bring peace to the kingdom. The interaction between Peter and the Dragon forms the essence of this action-adventure trilogy.

No one has entered The Dragon Forest and lived...except young Prince Peter. Now ready to head out to Knight Training, thirteen year old Peter will leave behind a peaceful kingdom, a proud father, and dear friends. But the mysterious Lord Bedlam remains as elusive as ever, waiting for his opportunity to strike down King Alexander, his lineage, and the Oath that was made between man and the Dragon of the Forest. Without the powerful scales of the Dragon, Illiath remains vulnerable to Bedlam's power. Will Prince Peter make it to Knight Training and finally become a Royal Knight? Or will he be forced to face his trials and the evil Lord Bedlam alone?

With the help of the noble Elves of Vulgaard, Peter begins his journey home to rescue his kingdom from its enemies. First Peter must deal with the scars of his imprisonment, both physical and mental. The evil Lord Bedlam patiently watches Peter from afar waiting for the appropriate time to attack and finally defeat his nemesis. As Peter copes, his three friends train with the Elves to assist in the battle. Will Peter make peace with his troubled past? Will he endure the attacks of Lord Bedlam? And will Peter and his friends return to Illiath in time to save Théadril and the Dragon Forest from annihilation once and for all?
