"A group of friends set out to battle against dragons and save their planet against Queen Tahkasis. Tahkasis intends to take over the world but the band of heros work against her with the help of the good god Paladine on their side. Warrior Caramon rises up and stands out amongst his companions in fighting ferocious battles against the dragons although the narrative gives all the companions credit for taking on the forces of darkness.
