Bookroo's summary

Daystar is thrust into an unexpected adventure when his mother, Cimorene, gives him a magic sword and sends him out into the world. With no instructions, Daystar must navigate a realm filled with dragons and unknown dangers. What destiny awaits him, and why is the sword so important? As he journeys, Daystar must discover his true purpose and the secrets his mother has kept hidden. Will he rise to the challenge or falter in the face of the unknown?

From the publisher

One day, Daystar’s mom, Cimorene, hands him a magic sword and kicks him out of the house. Daystar doesn’t know what he is supposed to do with the magic sword, but knowing Cimorene, he’s sure it must involve a dragon or two!
