Falco Danté était un gringalet dans un monde en guerre. Pire, Falco était méprisé, mis à l'écart, à cause de son père qui fut un immense mage de bataille avant de sombrer dans une folie meurtrière. Mais à l'Académie de la guerre, Falco a bien changé : il est devenu plus puissant, il a gagné le respect de ses compagnons d'armes. Il ne lui reste plus qu'une épreuve pour devenir un mage de bataille à part entière : le rite d'Assay. S'il réussit, il aura le droit d'invoquer son dragon, son âme sœur dans la lutte contre les Possédés.
