Esta historia trata sobre un héroe que tenía todo... para no serlo.
Hipo Horrendo Abadejo III debe honrar la tradición de los vikingos: ser audaz, valiente y rudo, especialmente al enfrentarse a dragones. Sin embargo, Hipo es todo lo que un vikingo no debería ser: flacucho, poco valiente y, sobre todo, demasiado amigable con los dragones. Esto no sería un problema si no hubiera llegado a la edad de la iniciación, una dura prueba en la que debe demostrar que merece los privilegios de su tribu vikinga.
Si no pasa el examen, su castigo será el destierro. Aun así, aprobarlo implica arriesgar la vida. Podrá nuestro héroe vencer todas las probabilidades? Logrará entrenar al dragón más inadaptado que se haya visto? Y podrá salvar a su tribu de una inesperada amenaza?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This story is about a hero who had everything... to not be one.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III must honor the Viking tradition: being bold, brave, and tough, especially when dealing with dragons. However, Hiccup is everything a Viking shouldn't be--scrawny, not very fearless, and, most of all, far too friendly with dragons. That wouldn't be a problem if he hadn't reached the age of initiation, a grueling test where he must prove he deserves the privileges of his Viking tribe.
If he fails the test, his punishment will be exile. Even so, passing means risking his life. Can our hero beat the odds? Will he manage to train the most unfit dragon ever seen? And can he save his tribe from an unexpected threat?
