Leonardo hides his identity as the Ancient Dragon Lord, working as an unpretentious blacksmith in the capital slums to honor his late wife's dying wish: safeguard their daughter Fiona until her divine bloodline awakens. For eighteen years, Leonardo endures the insults of arrogant tax collectors and haughty knights, keeping his colossal power suppressed beneath soot and leather.
The fragile peace fractures when the greedy King Glen uncovers the blacksmith's supernatural pedigree and demands Fiona marry Prince Adrian to harness the dragon clan's elemental strength. Refusing to allow his innocent child to be exploited as royal breeding stock, Leonardo breaks his centuries-old oath of pacifism. Manifesting his colossal wings over the palace towers, the dragon sovereign shows the monarchy what happens when a father is provoked.
