Patrick Dunne is the heartbroken college student fumbling for identity outside the academic bubble whose life is in peril following a mysterious inheritance. Falamor is the dragon wizard who has been living deep within a remote mountain for the last century fearing the reprisal of a deranged sorcerer. And the Book of Passage is the powerful artifact that saves Pat's life by transporting him into the fantastical realm that Falamor inhabits. When Patrick faces death for the second time, the Book once more tries to save him. But something unexpected happens: Patrick and Falamor are now joined in the same body. Physically it still looks like Pat's, but now both intelligences inhabit it. The strength of a dragon scaled to a human frame, combined with Falamor's ability to cast magic and Pat's innate courage makes them unexpectedly powerful. Beneath the tyranny of the False King of Falamor's world, their merger is tempered.

A friendship between two unlikely individuals blossoms as both Pat and Falamor realize that their unique relationship gives them the opportunity to save a kingdom. The wallflowers have become reluctant heroes.
