In the fantastical world of the North, where ice and snow reign year-round, dragons are the primary instruments of war and symbols of social status. Noble dragon trainers rely on brutal magical shocks and heavy chains to control their dragons. However, Elara, a five-year-old orphan, can understand the dragon language and sense their emotions. She removes a black magic poison barb from the body of the young dragon Frostwing, earning the trust of Lord Valerian. Chief Dragon Tamer Morwen views her as a threat, steals the Dragon Taming Diagram, and frames her for the theft. While on the run, Elara obtains a memory crystal documenting Morwen’s crimes. Ultimately, she exposes the truth in public, and Morwen is brought to justice. The lord abolishes the cruel old dragon-taming laws and appoints Ella as the first “Cute Dragon” trainer, ushering in a new era where compassion replaces fear.
