    What secrets are buried in the dragon ruins? 
Aldred is holding onto his last shred of hope as he makes his way to the ruins. As an archaeologist, he searches for remains of the dragon race that wiped itself out centuries ago. So far, all of his quests have turned up with nothing. If he fails this time, it will be his last chance. But his hope is extinguished when he meets his partner for the dig. 
Hashkeh is a humanoid tiger, a member of a beast race. Tigers and humans do not get along. Neither man wants to work with the other, but they’re not allowed to do this work alone. As they reluctantly start the dig, the stereotypes each holds about the other’s race begin to break down. 
As Aldred and Hashkeh’s hatred shifts into a shaky friendship, they learn more and more about the past. The history they’ve been taught is not always accurate, and sometimes the legends are true. 
And though the dragons are extinct, they still have a message to send.
