What would you do if you learned that a famous national park had really been its own self-governed country all along? Follow top reporter Royce Andrew Pratt as he enters Draconia and works to unravel mysteries that are more than one thousand years old.
The revelations he uncovers shatter everything he's ever been taught. The Chivalric Order of the Twin Dragons has been working in the shadows of United States history in subtle anonymity for centuries.
The people of the Chivalric Order are a different breed. They have their own agricultural system, they shun the ways of capitalism, and they train up all men and women under military methodologies. Though on the surface they seem to be fostering combative mind-sets, the community is highly philosophical, motivated by personal sacrifice, and driven to serve the greater good.
Royce knows this is a journalistic gold mine, but he has to be careful to say and do all the right things to stay in their good graces. However, as he listens to their tales and practices their lifestyle, will he take the knowledge learned and expose them, or will be hesitant to return to his old ways?
