From the Back Cover

Nothing is more important than slaying a dragon. . . .
Once Prince Caden does, he will finally become an Elite Paladin like his seven older brothers. But there is one big thing standing in his way: he has been mysteriously transported from his home in the magical Greater Realm to Asheville, North Carolina.
Now he is stuck in a land with no magic—and no dragons.
Or so he thinks. Caden finds that his new school in Asheville may be the center of some unexpected and dangerous magic after all. With the help of his own elusive magical gifts—and some unlikely new friends—Caden must defeat the evil, save himself and everyone he loves, and find his way home.
