The story

What Is Dragon Hunter About?

The premise of Dragon Hunter without spoilers.

Orphaned as a baby when his parents were killed in a vicious orc attack, Kendrick of Elwood was raised by his elder brother, Darius. After years away, a far greater menace arises—dragon attacks that outstrip the danger posed by orcs or men. Panic spreads across the realm as reports of the ferocious beasts flood the countryside, forcing Kendrick to confront this new threat.
