Pierre Durand, a man with a cautiously optimistic outlook, spends his final days in Brittany reminiscing about his childhood, youth, and love of archaeology. During this time, he revisits the historical books discovered during an excavation and hand-bound by his uncle, Armel Durand. Among these volumes, Pierre's favorite has always been "Star Dragons: Wings, Flames, and Magic." He believed the book to be about ancient astronauts and interstellar wars, but found it to contain much more than just stories of dragons and their primal energies. In addition to fascinating tales about these elemental creatures of the universe, representing all colors and their counterparts, the book also uncovered plots of romance, conspiracy, and epic battles between good and evil. These dragons, remnants of a vast and ancient power, captivated Pierre and accompanied him throughout his missions and travels. On another planet, Pierre encounters both love and heartbreak. Forced to navigate between his own emotions and those of others, he confronts his deepest fears and insecurities. Along his journey, Pierre must learn to deal with the forces that govern the universe—whether they be physical, spiritual, or mystical. Amid difficult choices, Pierre faces challenges that test his courage and determination, leading him to confront an uncertain future thousands of years ahead of his time. In his quest for answers, he discovers that the secrets of the past may hold the key to redemption or eternal ruin.
