Prince Perryndon learns that the dragon ravaging his father's kingdom can be slain by a true bard accompanied by a unicorn and wielding a mythic sword, so he sets out to assemble the elements of the prophecy. Though the story is pitched to younger readers, the tale is subtle enough to capture older readers in its spell as well.
