Axinstone

When Haeraig Anzig of Clan Laxtal is sent to a council of the leaders of the forty-two draconic clans to warn them about the impending invasion of human forces, the last thing the young dragon expects is to be sent on a suicidal mission into the heart of human lands. At the advice of an outcast seer, Anzig sets out across the mountains with seven drakes for companions. He has been tasked to retrieve the legendary artefact, the Axinstone, for without it, dragonkind seems doomed to fall.
