A small, awkward Viking must capture and train a dragon to earn his place in a tribe that measures worth by strength.
The dragon he catches is tiny, toothless, and absolutely refuses to behave.
To become the hero his tribe expects, he may have to prove that brains, loyalty, and kindness can be braver than brute strength.
